New Kalanchoe Flammea. KALANCHOE HARHORATA. (QUEEN OF ABYSSINIA.) We are pleased to be the first to offer this noble new plant in this country. All that can possibly be said of Kalanchoe Flammea applies to this, and no doubt it will be preferred by many. The leaves are silvery gray, 8 inches long, blotched especially underneath with bright purple. A single plant produces many flower spikes, measuring a foot to 18 inches across. Each flower is nearly four inches long and of the purest white. They last for a very long time and as soon as removed more flower spikes appear. One of the grandest shows even seen. It was discovered in Abyssinia. Color- plated in the Botanical Magazine. No plant is easier to bloom or take care of. Fine plants 30c. each, or with K. Oarnea5<V., cuttings root canity 5 price. NEW " KALANCHOE FLAMHEA." (TORCH LIGHT.) This grand new plant, introduced from Som- aliland, in East Africa, by the Royal Gardens, Kew, where it flowered for the first time in 1897, recently passed into the hands of a celebrated English firm, and we are the first to offer it in this country. The journals speak of it as a $10,- 000 novelty, and, judging by the price asked for the seed (G2^c. per pkt.—more than 10 times its weight in diamonds) we should think so. It was awarded a first-class certificate by the Royal Hor- ticultural Society, and a medal at Chiswiek, and is spoken of by foreign journals as, " The best plant of all," UA most remarkable plant," " The beat plant introduced for years,1 etc., etc. It bears fleshy pale green leaves. The flowers are carried on erect stems often 18 in. across. They are waxy and of a dazzling orange-scarlet, lasting at least a fortnight after cutting. One of the easiest plants to grow and bloom. Orders booked for plants as soon as ready at 50c. each. Seed 25c. per small pkt. KALANCHOE CARNEA. It is quite similar to the above valuable new plant. Its flowers, however, are a vivid golden yellow. In bloom the whole year and extremely handsome, leaves metallic purple. Fine plants ready now, 30c, cuttings 15c. seed 10c per pkt. New Kalanchoe riarmor; I
