CREVILLEA 



ROBUSTA. 



(THE SILK OAK.) 



This magnificent plant, although not 

 new, deserves to be more generally 

 known among amateur plantsmen. For 

 decorative purposes whether as a pot 

 plant or for its beautiful, delicate, 

 Fern-like leaves, arranged with cut 

 flowers it is but fair to say it has few 

 equals. The accompanying cut suggests 

 its general appearance, but does not 

 correctly or adequately convey its real 

 beauty. It is of very easy culture, and 

 is perfectly hardy and reliable- as a house 

 plant.
