A very handsome Aroid of striking aspect. The leaves are ovate-oblong, greatly elongated, 

 attaining lengths of from 2 to 3 feet, with a breadth of less than one-thiroT of these dimen- 

 sions ; coriaceous in texture and deep green, with a glossy metallic surface when first ex- 

 panded, becoming paler by age. The principal nerves are arched and deeply sunk, giving 

 the surface a conspicuously waved appearance. As an exhibition or decorative plant it will 

 always take a very high position. 



First-class Certificate from the Royal Horticultural Society. Price on application. 



*ANTHURIUM WAROCQUEANUM. 



A remarkable Aroid. The leaves are greatly elongated, attaining lengths of from 24 to 30 

 inches, with a breadth of not more than 7 or 8 inches. The ground color is a deep green of a 

 very rich hue, with a velvety lustre and appearance, with which the light color of the mid- 

 rib and veins form a pleasing contrast. To the lovers of tine foliage plants this beautiful 

 Anthurium will be a most welcome acquisition. $2.00 each. 



*JASMINUM GRACILLIMUM. 



"Jasminum gracillimum is one of the most distinct in its graceful habit, and in the abund- 

 ance of its large sweet-scented flowers, which are also more copiously produced. It appears 

 to be a small species, with long, very slender branches springing from low down on the stem, 

 and curving over on all sides, weighed down by terminal globose panicles." 



As a decorative plant, Jabmimtm gracillimum is probably the best of recent introduction. 

 It is exceedingly floriferous ; a flowering shoot is produced from every joint, which termin- 

 ates in a dense cluster of pure white fragrant flower*. The plant is continuously in bloom 

 from October to January, and its graceful habit renders it one of the most beautiful of flower- 

 ing plants. $1.00 each. 



*AL0CASIA HYBRIDA. 



An exceedingly beautiful hybrid, sent out by Messrs. Veitch & Sons. It is of the 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, $2.00.
