axabastsus ummum, 
This very beautiful and graceful plant has given universal satisfaction, 
having succeeded better — developing its beauty more fully— in our warm 
climate than it ivas found to do in the cooler climate of England, 
The leaves, which are beautifully undulated, vary in the earlier stages of growth, from 
a green to a bronzy green shade. As the plants get stronger, the leaves at the ends of all 
the principal branches assume a bright orange red color and become more elongated, gen- 
erally being from 10 to 15 inches in length, forming magnificent bright colored plumes, and 
giving the plant a most elegant and picturesque appearance. Price per packet 10 cents.
