Cut Stems of Papyrus. 



Nothing is more artistic for decoration than the graceful stems of the 

 Egyptian Paper Plant, which were used to decorate the ancient temples of 

 the Egyptians. They are beautiful when fresh and green, and very hand- 

 some when dried, and can be bleached creamy-white. The small stems are 

 very dainty in vases, and make pretty ornaments when gilded. Steins 18 

 inches to 2 feet long, 50c per dozen; $2.50 per hundred; 3 to 1| feet long, 

 $1.10 per dozen; $5.50 per hundred; 5 to 8 feet long, $2.50 per dozen; $7

 decoration, green or dried. They are handsome alone, or used with

 dred; 3^ to 1| feet. 60c per dozen; $3.50 per hundred. Express paid in

Asparagus Plurnosus, or Asparagus Fern. 



Most lovely for decoration. Filmy and delicate, yet strong of texture. 

 It looks as if it had been pressed. It does not wither, which makes it in- 

 valuable for bouquets, and useful for corsage wear. For twining around 

 pictures and chandeliers, or festooning, it is charming, keeping its beauty 

 for months. It makes a pretty gift to send away, as it is light and can be 

 shipped long distances without losing its beauty, and at small cost .

 inches, $1 per dozen: 25c per yard: prepaid.

Chenile Grass. 



A beautiful grass, with slender stems, with a drooping fringe of silver 

 grayish brown. It looks exactly like the softest chenile and is very dam 

 and pretty for vases. I do not think it is offered by anyone else. (V 

 dozen stems are sufficient for a small vase: two dozen all that can be use 

 together with advantage. 25c per dozen; 50c for 2 dozen: prepaid.
