ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS. 



This charming and very popular plant is now so well known 

 as to need no description. In the house or con- 

 servatory it is equally at home. No matter how 

 unfavorable the situation it flourishes, retaining 

 its vigor and freshness of foliage where few 

 plants can even exist ; in 

 fact, nothing but positive 

 and continued neglect will 

 kill it. The plain green va- 

 riety is in much demand, 

 but we also have a very 

 pretty variegated sort which 

 is very popular. ">S2§?i

ASPARAGUS. 



Very pretty and graceful Fern-like plants, 

 rivaling in beauty even the delicate Maiden Hair' 

 Fern. When cut for bouquets, the sprays have 

 much greater persistency than any Fern, retain- 

 ing their freshness in water from three to four 

 weeks. Few plants are more ornamental, and 

 none more useful. 

 Plumosus Nanus— An. excellent pot plant. Foliage bright green, very 



graceful, and so delicate it has all the appearance of finely woven silk 

 ™lace. Price, each, 25 cts.; per doz., $2.50. 



Tenuissimns — A strikingly beautiful climbing variety of rare merit. 



Price, each, 25 cts.; per 

 doz., $2.50. 



ACHANIA 

 MALVAVISCUS. 



A charming house-plant 

 of very easy culture, never 

 failing to do well and give 

 satisfaction. In habit of 

 growth it resembles closely 

 some of the varieties of 

 Abutilon. The flowers, 

 however, are quite distinct 

 and very unique. In color 

 they are a brilliant scarlet, 

 and are produced in great 

 profusion. 



Price, each, 25 cts.; per 

 doz., $2.50.

We can confidently 

 say that our stock of 

 Azaleas was never in 

 better condition.

 fect specimen, in 

 health and perfection 

 of form. The abund- 

 ance of flower buds 

 now showing give as- 

 surance of a gorgeous 

 display of blossoms 

 throughout the flow- 

 eringseason, and par- 

 ticularly at Easter azaleas. 

 when they are always ingreat demand. We have all the leading 

 varieties, all named. These plants are shipped by express
