ASPARAGUS SCANDENS. 



Several members of the asparagus fam- 

 ily have become wonderfully popular the 

 last few years as decorative subjects, 

 partly on account of their graceful habit, 

 but perhaps even more so through their 

 quality of keeping fresh and bright for 

 days, or even weeks, in a cut state. The 

 one in question i~ rather more 'leafy" 

 in appearance than most of the family, 

 and consequently would make a better 

 and more useful subject for use as a pot 

 plant without detracting from its util- 

 ity in a cut state. The plant before us, 

 though only from a 3-inch pot. has a 

 verj attractive appearance, showing that 

 it will be salable in a young state as well 

 as in older examples, and we considei the 

 novelty to be a very promising one for 

 florists and all engaged in the decora- 

 tive side of horticulture. It received -a 

 reward of merit as A. Japonicus, but the 

 name has now been settled at Kew as 

 above.- — Horticultural Advertiser. 



MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA. 



The following is an advertisement from 

 one of our English contemporaries: 



No more malarial fever. Ocymum Vir- 

 ide. This is found to effectually expel 

 mosquitoes, and keep man free from 

 malaria. Send for The Times' and Na- 

 ture's reports of this wonderful plant, 

 which is unquestionably a blessing to 

 mankind. We possess, and shall be pleased 

 to supply seeds (direct from Nigeria). 

 Per small packet, 5s.; plants, 5s each.
