*HESPERALOE YUCCAFOLIA OR ENGELMANII. 



Each. 

 A very scarce and beautiful plant from the Nueces River, Texas, which is best described 

 as a Yucca with red flowers The discoverer's description is " a large group of 

 these plants with flower stems from 4 to 5 feet in height, covered entirely with beau- 

 tiful red bell-shaped flowers, which we took at the first glance for Yuccas." $1 00 



*GOODYERAS. 



Dawsoniana. A very beautiful plant. The leaves are blackish-green on the upper 

 side, and very glossy, with lines of beautiful golden purple transversing from the 

 base to the apex ; flowers white 2 00 



Discolor. A beautiful plant, grows about six inches high ; foliage a beautiful dark 



velvety color, with white markings through its entire length, flowers white 50 



*VIBURNUM TLNUS SPLENDENS.— (LAURESTINUS.) 



A variety of Laurestinus with magnificent large flowers. It is also a good grower and 



free bloomer 1 00 



♦HIBISCUS CARDIOPHYLLUS, {New.) 



This extremely beautiful Hibiscus, I have the pleasure of offering for the first time. I 

 received it from southwestern Texas. In habit it resembles an Abutilon. My 

 plants were bedded out the past summer and succeeded admirably, flowering pro- 

 fusely during the season. The flowers are bright scarlet, over two inches across, 

 which makes it a very striking plant. A sterling novelty 1 00 



PHYLLANTHUS ROSEA-PICTUM. 



The variegation is exceedingly rich and varied, both in color and form, no two colored 

 leaves showing precisely the same markings with like tints. Many of the leaves are 

 bright crimson, which is also the color of the stem during the early stage of growth ; 

 some are a light cream color, tinged with a delicate blush, others again have a dark 

 bronzy hue, shaded with crimson ; some are dark green, with blotches and spots 

 of rose while others are tri-colored, white with different shades of rose and green.. 50 



DICHORISANDRAS. 



*Mosaica. An extremely handsome plant, of dwarf habit ; leaves large, o-round color 

 of the upper side rich deep shining green, traversed with an innumerable quantity 

 of parallel transverse tine white lines ; the upper side is of a uniform deep purple. 



It also produces lovely rich azure flowers. 1 00 



Thyrsiflora. A very tine species ; flowers in a thyrse of a rich azure ; magnificent species, 75 

 Undata. Very different from D. momica. producing large ovate leaves, very dark 

 green in color ; the mid-rib and veins are of a lighter green, which gives the leaves 

 a striped or marbled appearance 7. 50 



NEW FERNS. 



*ADIANTUM BAUSEI. 



A hybrid variety between A. Trapeziforme and A. Decorum: in size intermediate be- 

 tween the two. Its peculiarity is the drooping position of the pinnules, which are 

 deflexed sideways from the plane of the rachis ; in the form of its pinnules it also 

 differs from any other known Fern 2 00 



*ADIANT(JM WILLI AMSII.—rAe New Golden Maiden Hair. 



This spendid novelty is destined to become a general favorite, and for cutting purposes 

 its value cannot be over-estimated. It succeeds well in a green -house temperature. 

 It is in every respect quite as free and hardy as A. Cuneatum, and will make a fine 

 exhibition plant. " It is a native of Peru, where it is found on the mountains 

 growing at an elevation of 12,000 feet." 2 00
