W. S. Johnston, Greenville, Pa., writes: "I send you a sample of seedling coleus raised here. They are all good bedders. What do you think of them? I also enclose a bloom of a double Bouvardia. It is a sport from a double white. Is it worth anything?"

[The specimens came in good condition. It is quite impossible to say whether they are valuable or not. There are some pretty colors among them. Coleus are chiefly valuable for bedding purposes. If any of these should possess unusual and desirable colors and prove good bedders they would be sought for, no doubt. There have been numbers of seedlings raised within the past few years, more than many persons have any idea of, yet the older sorts for bedding have not yet been superseded.

It is not unusual for the double white Bouvardia to produce pale pink flowers like the specimen sent. - Ed. G. M.]
