A Beautiful New 



ORNANENTAL CUMBER 



'i'he so-called Air Potato, an extremely decorative climber, a 

 species of Dioacorea, or Ornamental Yain. It is a very rampant 

 grower, with emerald-green, glossy, stronijly nerved, heart-shaped 

 leaves, long tassels of white flowers, and provided all along the 

 stems with potato- Uke tubers, the size of a hickory nut up to a 

 large apple, of a light grayish color. The leaves overlap like the 

 shingles of a roof. The plant was introduced a few years ago 

 from the South Sea Islands by the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture, under the name of Smilax eantlvicensis. It makes tine 

 8i>ecimen plante in a few months, being particularly valuable for 

 veranda decoration. Shoots 6() to 80 feet long in one season are 

 no exceptions. These potato-like tubers can also be grown in pots 

 into very ornamental specimens and may be sold as such. The 

 glossy foliage alone recommends them to everybody. In our gar- 

 dens it is admired more than any other plant.

$20.00 per 1000 for tubers of hickory nut size 

 30.00 per 1000 for tubers of walnut size 

 50.00 per 1000 for tubers of apple size and larger

•"X very considerable surplus in hand, ' ' 

 and continues: "We hope the trade 

 will keep a level head in this matter 

 and that there will be no panic or rush 

 to clear out by slaughtering the prices 

 in the spring. Any small gain from 

 such a course would do infinitely more 

 harm to business the following season 

 than any little saving now could pos- 

 sibly compensate for, and we had bet- 

 ter make up our minds now to a small 

 sacrifice rather than try to avoid it by 

 wrecking the prospect ifor the future."
