NEW EMERALD FEATHER ASPARAGUS 



(ASPARAGUS SPRENGERII.) 



THIS is undoubtedly one of the handsomest and most 

 valuable evergreen trailing plants for the house and 

 conservatory ever introduced. It is especially valu- 

 able for pots, vases, baskets, etc., covering all with its 

 beautiful sprays of lovely green feathery foliage, which 

 can be cut freely and are very useful for bouquets, wreaths, 

 and all kinds of floral decorations. It makes a charming 

 ornamental plant for the window or conservatory in win- 

 ter, and is equally valuable for vases, baskets and porch- 

 boxes in summer. It is a strong vigorous plant, very 

 easily grown, requires but little care and keeps on grow- 

 ing, fresh and green, year after year. Price, 15c., 20c. 

 and 25c. each; $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per doz., post- 

 paid. Extra size, from 5 and 6 inch pots, 40c. and 50g. 

 each ; $4.00 and $5.00 per doz., hy express. 



Asparagus Plumosa 



(CLIMBING LACE FERN.) 



A FINER and more delicate plant than the Sprengerii, 

 but hardy and easily grown ; very satisfactory for 

 window and house culture ; an extremely graceful 

 window climber, bright green feathery foliage, as fine as 

 the finest silk or lace. The fronds retain their freshness *^ 



for weeks when cut, and are greatly admired for floral EMERALD FEATHER ASPARAGUS' 



decorations. An exceedingly beautiful plant for house and conservatory, and will thrive nicely in the 

 temperature of an ordinary living-room. Entirely unequalled for the grace and beauty of its lovely 

 spraydike fronds. Price, nice thrifty plants, 15c. and 20c. each; $1.50 and $2.00 per dozen, postpaid 

 larger size, 35c. each ; $3.50 per dozen, by express.
