NeTT Divarf Justicia " ; This Ne'w D'warf Justicia, so highly praised by Mr. Louis de Vilmorin in the Revue Horticole, is really a much finer and dwarfer plant than our engraving, made from an imported specimen, suggests. Everyone knows the tall, lanky, straggling habit of the old Justicia Rosea. This new sort, which is now grown so extensively by Parisian florists, begins to bloom when the plant has only three or four leaves, and is never out of flower afterward. If pinched back occasionally it makes a very dwarf, stocky plant, fre- quently covered with 20 to 50 large pink flower-heads, last- ing a long time. The foliage is also more persistent and highly ornamental, being heavy in texture and very velvety.
