DRAC^NA GOLDIEANA. 



*DRACiENA 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, terete 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. §1.50 to $2.50. 



*CURMERIA WALLISII. 



The leaves are spreading and marked with very irregular dark green maculations, some running out from the 

 green costa and others situated near the edge. The intermediate spaces are furnished with broadish patches of 

 very pale yellowish green, which in the more matured leaves becomes a greenish gray. The colors are about 

 equally dispersed, though the marking is very irregular, both as to the size and form of the blotches. $1.00. 



PEPEROMA PROSTRATA. 



A very ornamental basket plant, with slender creeping stems and alternate round variegated leaves. 25 cents.
