Quite a number of desirable curiosities were shown us lately in the form of grafted Coleus. On one upright plant of the Coleus there were grafted three other varieties: the Setting Sun, Her Majesty, and Verschaeffeltii, forming a curious yet splendid constellation of colors and variegated leaves. One other plant was mentioned to us as having eighteen grafts of all possible varieties on one stalk; but we did not see it - the other we did see. The Achyranthus Gilsoni has been grafted in the way upon the Lindeni, and formed another queer compound of colors; odd, yet pretty. Various geraniums have been so grafted, and the combination of colors was admirable. This system of grafting flowering stems of fancy colors from one geranium on to another, or of any Coleus, Aohyranthus, etc., will not fail to be popular, and lead to many striking displays.

What could be more odd, yet beautiful, to see on the exhibition stand a geranium with flowers, here and there, of the Gen. Grant, Warrior, Madame Lemoine and half a dozen others for contrast, and then leaves of the Mountain of Snow, or Mrs. Pollock intermingled here and there ?

'It can be done; we have seen it successfully, and the credit is due to Graves, Selover, Willard & Co., Geneva, N. Y., for the first display in our knowledge of plants thus treated, which was done at the fair of Saratoga Springs, Sept. 7, last.
