* DRACAENA GOLDIEANA. 
One of the most magnificent ornamental foliage 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 fur along the 
upper side, the base being dilated and sheathing the stem. The base 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 green costa and others situated near the edge. Lhe 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. 75 cents.
