TABERNJE MONTANA CAMASSA. 



(Growers of Flowers for Market should Cultivate a House of this Plant alone.) 



A very desirable shrub, with racemes of double white flowers of Gardenia-like outline 

 and fragrance, which are produced on the point of every shoot. The usual tempera- 

 ture of a hot-house with less humidity, will produce blooms more freely and longer 

 in succession. The petals of the flowers are lighter and more elegantly arranged than 

 the Gardenia, and not quite so large ; small plants in three inch pots will produce 

 flowers freely 50 



APHELANDRA FASCINATOR. 



A very fine species, with very ornamental foliage as well as magnificent flowers; the 

 leaves are rich dark green, beautifully banded with silvery white, and underneath 

 of an uniform purplish velvet ; the spikes of bloom are very large and of dazzling 

 vermilion color 40 



PHILODENDRON L1NDENIANUM. 



Leaves of a delicate satiny green, shaded with metallic olive color on the upper surface, 

 the under part pale green, ornamented with bands of maroon. The young leaves 

 are of a bright chamois color, and the maroon bands of the under parts penetrate 

 through to the upper, so that the coloring of the plants has a glistening and in- 

 describable effect - 50
