DBAC 'JEJS A.— Dragon Tree. 



Our rich collection of Dracaenas was awarded first premium by the Maryland 

 Horticultural Society, September, 1855, and again in Sept. 1876. 



For decorative purposes these plants are now extensively grown, their broad 



dark tropical foliage and graceful habit render them very appropriate. 



Each. 



*Amabilis, (new.) This magnificent variety is extremely distinct and 

 effective. The ground color of the leaf is bright glossy green, 

 becoming, beautifully marked and suffused with pink and creamy 

 white, the young leaves being occasionally of quite a rosy color SI 00 



*Baptistii, (new ) The leaves are green, 1 to 1J foot long, 4 inches broad 

 margined and irregularly and obliquely striped with narrowish 

 creamy white flakes, passing through pale pink to deep rose. The 

 older leaves frequently become flushed with rose. It is an extremely 

 handsome and thoroughly distinct variety 1 00 



*Excelsa, (new.) Large leaves, of an erect arching habit r and of a deep 

 bronzy hue, margined with deep magenta crimson. This bright color 

 is continued throughout the edge of the leaf, breaks out into streaks 

 and patches 1 00 



*Fraseri, (new.) Of a stout and stocky habit. The leaves, which are 

 erect ish, a foot or upwards in length, and as much as 5 inches broad, 

 are margined with bright rosy lake. The principal part of the leaf is 

 of a blackish purple, with a glaucous bloom, a marginal stripe of deep 

 magenta runs down into the edge of the petiole, while here and there 

 besides may be seen a streak of the same rich rose color. It is cer- 

 tainly one of the finest Dracaenas known 1 00 



*Grandis, (new ) The leaf is a foot long and four and-a-half inches broad, 

 with striated surface, which is of a >haded deep green, broadly edged 

 near the base with blush white, the extreme margin being of a deep 

 magenta rose, which becomes more or less suffused over the pallid 

 portions 1 00
