Strobilanthes Dyerianus. STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS. This plant will undoubtedly become universally popular on account of its brilliant and exquisite coloring, its extraordinarily easy growth and usefulness as a decorative plant. It surpasses the finest Coleus, Begonias or Bertolonias in the exquisite color- ing of the leaves, besides which the long racemes of lovely violet blossoms, with which the plant is covered in mid-Winter, greatly enhance its value, beauty and usefulness. The undulation on the surface of the foliage is furnished with a blueish metallic hue, shading into light rose with a light green margin. It will prove a valuable acquisition, both as a bedding and decorative plant. See illustration. Price, 15 cents each.
