"LION'S TAIL"--(Leonotus Leonuris)--Most valuable plant either for the sitting room or conservatory. The drawing conveys but a meagre idea of it, as the spikes are upwards of a foot in length and of a most vivid orange color, which, next to blue, is the rarest color we have among flowers. All lovers of flowers should have one or more of these strangely curious and attractive plants... 15.

Well-grown plants have as many as one hundred and fifty flowers on them at once... 15.
