PRICE, 8 CENTS EACH, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED. The Abutilon or Flowering Maple is a plant of as easy culture as the Geranium and quite as satisfactory. It la beautiful, both in leaf and flower and is very profuse in bloom. Arthur Belsham—Has a long pendant flower, of clear crimson, without markings; flower stems of unusual length and flower of good shape. A charming sort. Boule de Neige—Pure white flowers, of the real "bell" shape, dwarf and compact in growth, but strong, healthy, and al vays becoming. Price, 15 cents. Eclipse—Anew variegated Abutilon. A cross between Thompsonii and Wexillarium. Foliage four times as large as the latter sort and beautifully variegated. Of robust growth, will stand the sun, and as an edging for sub- tropical beds it is unsurpassed, being distinct and a de- cided acquisition. Price, 10 cents. Golden Bells.—Appropriately named; a well grown plant of this variety has the appearance of being hung with abundance of glittering golden bells, making a flue contrast against the bright green leaves. A strong, hand- some grower. Flowers bell-shaped, of a rich, golden-yel- low. It blooms continually through the entire Summer. Price,_10 cents. Prince of Hellbron—Beautiful, variegated foliage, of bright green and gold; flowers light yellow .veined crimson. Robert George—A free and continuous bloomer; flowers large, incurved, over-lapping petais; orange, veined crim- son; beautiful. Rosasflora—Despite later introductions, the best pink variety we have seen. The clear rose or pink of its flow- ers is fresh and beautiful; free bloomer. Price, 15 cents. Royal Scarlet—Needs no other description than its name, which was aptly given. Very free and of excellent habit. Thompsonii Plena—New; has perfectly double flower, that resemble in form a double hollyhock. Color a rich deep orange, shaded and streaked with crimson. Th© foliage is delightfully variegated. Price, 10 cents each. New Abutilon, SOUVENIR DE BONN. A very distinct and striking new plant with large, bright green leaves distinctly edged with a pure white band as shown in illustration. The plant ia of strong, robust growth, and forms fine specimens in a very short time. The long stemmed flowers are bright orange-veined with crimson and stand well out beyond the foliage, producing a very pleas- ing effect. An excellent plant for large vases ai i 1 porch boxes, contrast- ing finely with green-leaved decorative plants. Price, 15 cents each. ACALYPHA. Now that it is generally known that Acalyphas flourish under the full sun, they are freely plant- ed in ornamental beds and masses. Their foli- age is tropically rich, with marbling and varie- gations of clear red.crim- son and dark bronze yel- low. narginata-Dark bronze with rose-margined foli- age. This variety equals the showiest varieties of Coleus in effect, and has besides a decided advan- tage over any Coleus, namely, to be harder,and not liable to wilt in the hottest and dry est weath- er. Price, 10 cents. Tricolor.—A beautiful plant with large and high- ly colored leaves. Bright red with blotches of cnm> son-bronze. See cut. Price 10 cents each. AGATHEA CELESTIS.
