Acalypha Sanderi, or Comet Plant Acalypha Sanderi, or Comet Plant. WB published an elegant colored plate of this wonderful new flowering plant in our last Fall Catalogue, which attracted a great deal of attention and made large sales. This cut is an equally good representation of the plant as it really appears (except in colors), and is not at all over drawn. It grows 12 to 18 inches high, blooms quickly and abundantly, and the flower tassels grow as long as the plant is high. They are covered all over with fine crimson flow= ers, looking almost exactly as if made of crimson chenille or silken plush. The plant likes heat and moisture, and good rich soil, but grows easily and blooms so quick- ly, that many are beginning to flower when sent out. 'When warm weather comes set out in the flower bed and it will bloom the whole season, and if taken in before cold weather, will be larger and finer for the house than before. It is a most surprising novelty and a great curiosity wherever seen. Nice mailing plants, 20, 25 and 35 cts. each, according to sise, postpaid; extra size blooming plants, from FIVE AND SIX INCH POTS, 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1.00 each, by express. New Passion Flower, Southern Beauty,^!^ UNLIKE) most other Passion Vines, this splendid new variety, besides being exquisitely beautiful, is a strong, vigorous grower and entirely hardy ; will climb up a trellis 10 to 20 feet high in a season, and cover it all over with splendid wreaths and clusters of large handsome flowers and foliage. The flow- ers are four to five inches across, and the color is an elegant combination of red, white and blue shades, so entirely unique and striking, that they attract attention at once. The form of the flowers, though much re- duced in size is well shown in the en- graving, and as the foliage is handsome also, it can be recommended as one of the choicest and most beautiful hardy flowering vines now offered. In very ex- posed situations, the roots should have a covering of leaves or garden litter before severe freezing; they can then remain in the ground over winter and will bloom every season, for years. Good strong roots, 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts,;
