New Emerald Feather Asparagfus 



ASPARAGUS SPRENQERII 



This is undoubtedly one of the handsomest and most 

 valuable evergreen trailing plants for the house and con- 

 servatory ever introduced. It is especially valuable for 

 pots, vases, baskets, etc., covering all with its beautiful 

 sprays of lovely green feathery foliage, which can be cut 

 freely and is very useful for bouquets, wreaths, and all 

 kinds of floral decorations. It makes a charrning orna- 

 mental plant for the window or conservatory in Winter, 

 and is equally valuable for vases, baskets, porch boxes in 

 Summer. It is a strong vigorous plant, very easily grown, 

 requires but little care and keeps on growing, fresh and 

 green, year after year. Price, 15, 20 and 25 cts. each ; 

 |1.50, |2.00 and $2.50 per doz. , postpaid. Extra size from 

 5 and 6-inch pots, 35 and 50 cts. each; $3.50 and |4.50 per 

 doz., by express.
