Each. 

 Guilfoylei. A most superb species, with long pendant lanceolate acumi- 

 nate leaves ; the ground color is bright green ; fully one-half the leaf, 

 however, is striped with white and bright rosy red, the latter color 

 mostly forming the border in addition. One of the most ornamental 



greenhouse plants at present in cultivation 1 00 



^Hendersoni, (new.) One of the very finest forms in this highly decorative 

 group, being distinct from all preceding varieties, not only in its ele- 

 gant and graceful habit, but in the leaves being uniquely and beauti- 

 fully variegated with white, rosy-pink stripes upon a light green 



ground 1 00 



*Imperialis, (new ) The variegation is in this case of a clear white com- 

 bined with deep rose. The color is a deep sap green, breaking out 

 freety in the young leaves into white, which is most prominent near 

 the base of the leaf, and extending upwards. These variegated por- 

 tions take on, as the leaves gain age, a deep bright rosy tint. It is a 



remarkably fine plant 1 00 



-Magnifica, (new.) This is a very handsome plant; leaves nearly two 

 feet in length and eight incbes in breadth, when the plant is well 

 grown. The footstalks are reddish purple, and the leaves are rich 



bronzy brown, suffused with pink, becoming darker with age 1 00 



*Metallica, (new.) This is the finest of all the dark-colored Dracaenas, 

 the leaves being as much as 16 inches long. These, together with the 

 sheathing leaf-stalks, are of a uniform rich coppery purplish hue 

 when young, becoming a dark purplish bronze when mature. The 



leaves are somewhat erect and arching 1 00 



-Nigro-Rubra, (new.) A robust-growing and exceedingly beautiful 

 plant; leaves upwards of eighteen inches in length, ground color rich 

 brown, the centre crimson, shaded with rose ; it is a most desirable 



variety 1 00 



Begin a, (new.) This is a plant producing very large and broad leaves, the 

 ground color is bright green, but fully one-half the leaf is variegated 

 with creamy white, which produces a rich and most beautiful effect.... 1 00 

 :>l Shepherdii, (new.) A noble form of Dracaena, and one of the finest in 

 cultivation. This plant takes on its distinctive coloring gradually on 

 the older leaves, the young ones being green, and showing paler green 

 stripes on those parts which take on at a later period the peculiar 

 bronzy orange hue. It is very free-growing, of ample proportions, 

 the broad oblong linear leaves 2^ feet long and 5 inches broad, tinted 



at the edge with the same bronzy orange color 1 00 



*Splendens, (new.) A distinct plant, of dwarf and compact but free- 

 growing habit, densely furnished with short recurved leaves, about 

 nine inches long and four inches broad. The color is a deep bronzy 

 green, breaking out in the young growth into bright rosy carmine. 

 The brighter coloring appears sometimes in stripes, and sometimes 



occupies the whole surface 1 00
