 years ago, is yet scarce ; hardy south of Washington. 

 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz. 



LYGODIUM SCANDENS 

 (Japanese Climbing Fern). 



A climbing Fern from the East Indies. A most graceful 

 plant, growing from one to fifty feet, as dosired. Quite as 

 easy of culture as the Sniilax ; although climbing when 

 supported by 6trings or wires, it can be used with equal 

 advantage as a drooping plant, for baskets or vases : as a 

 house plant for the parlor, nothing is more easy of culture. 

 It is now preferred by many florists to Smilax, for fine cut 

 flower work, being much more beautiful and nearly as 

 lasting, if the older sprays are used. 



1st size, 50 cts. each; S4.50 per doz. 2d size, half-price.

 they are produced in great abundance, and make it a very 

 attractive plant. Flowers remain on plant a long time.
