JVJEW PLANTS, 



^DRAC^NA GOLDIEANA. 



One of the most magnificent ornamental-foliaged plants ever introduced, and 

 altogether unique in character and aspect. It is a native of Western Tropical 

 Africa. The plant is of erect habit, and the stems are closely set with stalked 

 spreading leaves, the petioles of which are of a grayish color, tereie with a 

 narrow furrow along the upper side, the base being dilated and sheathing the 

 stem. The blade of the leaf is cordate-ovate acuminate, with a yellowish-green 

 costa, and banded with dark green and silver gray in alternate straight or furcate 

 bands, the colors being about equally distributed. The back of the unrolled 

 leaves is a pale reddish-purple or wine color, and the stem where visible at the 

 upper joints is of similar hue, the lower parts becoming green. It is, without 

 doubt, one of the finest of all stove plants and indispensable in all first-class 

 collections. 



This magnificent plant was sent out in London in 1878 at 5, 7^ and 10 guineas 

 per plant. Price on application. 



*ALOCASIA HYBRIDA. 



An exceedingly beautiful hybrid, sent out by Messrs. Veitch & Sons. It is 

 of free growth with exceedingly beautiful foliage with a metallic hue, in the 

 way of A. Veitchii but much finer, will make a grand specimen plant for 

 Exhibitions, &c. $3 to $5 each. 



^ERYTHRINA MARMORATA. 



" A free growing, very showy variegated plant, of erect habit, with beau- 

 tifully colored foliage. The leaves are broader than those of the flowering 

 kii ds usually cultivated; they are blotched and spotted with white in a very 

 effective manner. 



" L'he elegant and beautiful appearance of this plant renders it most useful 

 for decorative purposes." $2.00 each. 



*PAVONIA WIOTL 



"A very striking flowering plant. The outer calyx consists of two whorls of 

 narrow slender bright red bracteoles, the outer whorl shorter than the inner, which 

 equals the closed coro la. Both the latter and the calyx are of a 'red black.' 



" It flowers continuously throughout the year, but most freely in the winter 

 months ; it also commences to bloom when only 2 to 4 inches high, and a 

 small plant has from 20 to 40 blooms open at one time, and thus with its neat 

 habit and pleasing foliage it will be exceedingly valuable for decorative pur- 

 poses. $1.50." 



*GRAPTOPHYLLUM NORTONII. 



"The leaves are of ovate-oblong form, about 6 inches long and 2| inches 

 broad, and deep glossy green. The mid-ribs are at first light rose, and have
