MISCELLANEOUS DECORATIVE PLANTS l6l 



The Sago Palm 



Cycas revoluta — The Sago Palm. A stately plant 

 that always challenges admiration because of its noble 

 habit and peculiar foliage, which is of thick, heavy 

 texture, therefore able to resist dust and other draw- 

 backs which most decorative plants are subjected to. 

 Well adapted to use in a cool, shady room. A 

 grand plant. 



The Umbrella Plant 



Cyperus alternif alius — The Umbrella Plant. One 

 of our best plants for growing in aquariums and vases 

 of water. Of easy culture. C. variegatus has foliage 

 marked with yellowish-white. 



Dracaenas 



These plants are of great and varied beauty. 

 Many of them are well adapted to sitting room culture. 

 They have a peculiarly elegant and attractive habit of 

 growth, and will be found very useful, either as single 

 specimens or for combination with other plants of 

 decorative character. The following kinds are espe- 

 cially recommended : » 



Amabilis — Foliage green, white and rosy violet. 



Bruanti — Foliage heavy. Dark green. A good 

 plant for the living room. 



Fragrans — A fine species from Africa. Large, 

 luxuriant foliage. A great favorite.

 curved. One of our standard plants for the center 

 of vases. Fine for jardinere use.
