 pure white flowers, its value as a border 

 plant or for cemetery decoration can be 

 easily appreciated. Price, 15 cts. each, 

 $1.50 per dozen. 



ENGLISH DAISIES. (BELLIS.)

 per dozen.

A very ornamental plant with broad, 

 shiny, dark green foliage, which is irreg- 

 ularly blotched with bright yellow and

 border plant it has few equals ; it is not

 poses, of rapid, easy growth, finely cut

 closely resembling raw silk, hence the 

 name of " Silk Oak." In its native place 

 it attains magnificent proportions and 

 produces an abundance of bright orange- 

 colored flowers. Price, fine plants, 50 

 cts. each ; young plants, 25 cts. each,

 a home than a few handsome ferns. 30 cts. 

 each ; set of 12 sorts for $3.00.

In well-grown specimens the fronds attain 

 a length of six or seven feet, but only one to 

 three inches wide, and like plumes arching 

 over in every direction, in a most graceful 

 manner. This beautiful Fern is excellent for 

 outside planting in shady borders. It is a 

 very fine plant for hanging pots or baskets on 

 the piazza in summer and conservatory or 

 window in winter. Our cut conveys but a 

 very poor idea of its gracefulness and beauty. 

 Price, 25 cts. each, $2.25 per dozen.
