 silver and rich purple underneath. A neat and 

 handsome plant, always bright and pretty. The

Sanseviera Zeylonica, Zebra Plant 



A beautiful plant, spe- 

 cially adapted for the deco- 

 ration of drawing rooms 

 and halls, as it stands dust 

 and drought with impunity 

 and requires scarcely any 

 water. The leaves are beau- 

 tifully striped crosswise, 

 with broad white variega- 

 tions on a green ground. 

 It is a rare and beautiful 

 plant, which should be 

 abundantly grown for posi- 

 tions out of the reach of 

 sunshine, where other 

 plants will not thrive. It 

 can be placed in any posi- 

 tion in any room and do 

 well. It has singular beauty 

 for decorative purposes 

 ■which other plants do not 

 possess, and it is useful 

 both in winter and summer. 

 For vases and baskets it is 

 a fine center piece, and 

 grows splendidly out of 

 doors during summer. Fine
