22 JOHN SAUL'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Per plant. 

 Jenningsii. A delicate green, over which, between the principal veins, are laid heavy- 

 blotches of black, which are remarkably precise in outline and arrangement 25 



DORYANTHES PALMERL— Queen's Land Lily. 



An ornamental flowered plant, in style intermediate between the Yucca and Drceccena, 

 forming a stemless bulbiform rootstock. The flower-scape rises from the centre eight feet in 

 length, forming densely clothed pyramidal compound racemes, much like those seen in 

 various Yucca species. Flowers numerous, approaching in size and form to those of the 

 well known Vallota purpurea, from three to four inches in diameter, of a rich poeony 

 crimson hue, with a white centre. Each blossom is accompanied with leaf bracts of an 

 equally rich color as the flower. $ 1.00 each. 



TABERN^E MONTANA CAMASSA. 



[Growers of Flowers for Market should Cultivate a House of this Plant alone.) 



A very desirable shrub of a neat compact dwarf habit, with medium small glossy bright 

 green laurel like leaves and terminal axillary cymose racemes of double white flowers of 

 Gardenia like outline and fragrance, which are produced on the point of every shoot. The 

 usual temperature of a hot-house with less humidity, will produce blooms more freely and 

 longer in succession. The petals of the flowers are lighter and more elegantly arranged than 

 the Gardenia, and not quite so large; small plants in three inch pots will produce flowers 

 freely. 50 cts. each. 



APHELANDRA FASCINATOR. 



A very fine species, with very ornamental foliage as well as magnificent flowers; the 

 leaves are rich dark green, beautifully banded with silvery white, and underneath of an 

 uniform purplish violet ; the spikes of bloom are very large and of dazzling vermilion color. 

 50 cts. each. 



PHILODENDRON LINDENIANUM. 



Leaves of a delicate satiny green, shaded with metallic olive color on the upper surface, 

 the under part pale green, ornamented with bands of maroon. The young leaves are of a 

 bright chamois color, and the maroon bands of the under parts penetrate through to the 

 upper, so that the coloring of the plants has a glistening and indescribable effect. 50 cts. to $1. 



* POSOQUERIA LONGIFOLIA. 



This plant forms an elegant bush, and is very free flowering. Leaves large, somewhat 

 ovate, coriaceous and shining green ; flowers tubular, pure white, produced in large corymbs

 tint. 30 to 50 cts. each.
