ZITLAIJA ZEEELNA OB ZEBEA GEAiS. 



EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 



Fnlike all other variegated plants, this has its striping or 

 marking across the leaf, instead of longitudinally. It gro-ws 

 from 5 to 7 feet in height, forming a most striking and graceful 

 plant, resembling nothing else that we know of in cultivation. 

 The expanded flewer spike resembles the ostrich plume, and 

 when dried will last for years. Plant entirely hardy. YThether 

 used as a single plant or for groups on lawns it has no equal. 

 See cut. 

 We were the first to put this splendid plant into commerce, 

 paying $600 for a few plants.
