PHORM1TJM New Zealand Flax. 



Each. 



*Atropurpureum. A very desirable species ; habit the same as P. tenax ; leaves reddish 

 purple. This makes a distinct decorative plant for the conservatory, and a fine sub- 

 ject for the sub tropical garden. A distinct and beautiful plant 



*Colensoi Variegatum. This beautiful plant has fine broad erect pointed dark green 

 leaves, elegantly banded at the margin with one or sometimes with two conspicuous 

 stripes of creamy white. It has the same mode of growth as P. tenax, but is alto- 

 gether distinct, while its more erect habit e;ives it quite a distinct appearance. .$1 to 2 00 



*Cooki Variegatum. An elegant, somewhat dwarf growing plant; leaves green, beau- 

 tifully striped with golden yellow. Native of New Zealand 



*Veitchii Variegatum This is a finely variegated form of the well known New Zea- 

 land Flax. The leaves are of the same size as the species, with conspicuous broad 

 stripes of creamy white running out their whole length, and contrasting well with 

 the light shining green ground color. It is a truly noble plant $1 to 2 00 



♦Purpurea Fol Nigra Marginata. A distinct form of New Zealand Flax, with purplish 

 green leaves, margined with black 



YUCCA. 



Alcefolia Variegata. "We received a special premium for a fine specimen of this plant 

 from the Maryland Horticultural Society. Leaves green, broadly striped and 

 banded with yellow ; a beautiful variegated plant 75 cts. to 1 50 



*Quadricolor. The foliage of this is long, recurved and beautifully variegated. A very 



fine plant 1 50 



VIPLADENIA, (Echites.) 



*Williamsii. A splendid hybrid. Color soft pink or rosy crimson ; it is very profuse ; 

 flowers produced in large clusters, the raceme continuing to grow and produce a 

 succession of blooms — a marked and desirable character in this variety. Its prolific 

 blooming qualities will render it a most desirable plant 1 00 



Amoena. Flowers of a soft pink color, suffused with rose, somewhat resembling D. 

 SpLcndens, but in every respect a great improvement on that variety, being of 

 superior form, the lobes being stiff and round, instead of reflex and pointed. For 

 summer blooming in the green house, no climber is more lovely than this 50 



*Boliviensis. A very free flowering white Dipladenia. It is very compact, producing 

 an abundance of flowers in a much smaller state than almost any other species. 

 The foliage is medium in size, and of a light glossy green color. The flowers pure 

 white, with a distinct yellow centre 1 00 



*Hybrida. A very floriferous variety; flowers resembling D. insignis, both in color 



and form, but are produced in much greater profusion 1 00

Regina. It is of compact habit, and the flowers are of a deep shade of color ; the trusses 

 are of a somewhat similar shape to those of /. coccinea, but the plant is much more 

 compact in growth than that variety. It is a most superb plant 50
