seedlings we believe that, they are the best obtainable at the 
present time, and we know of nothing that we can secommend 
that will give the amateur greater pleasure for his window gar- 
den. They embody, with vigorous growth, free-flowering 
habit and enormous size of the individual flowers, a really won-

orange-scarlet, and from light rose to almost pure white, many 
of them beautiful combinations in stripes and variegations.

AMORPHOPHALLUS 
(Devil’s Tongue, or Snake Palm) 
Rivieri. Particularly handsome plant for growing either in 
clumps or as a solitary specimen. Should be planted in May 
in warm, sunny situation in extra rich soil; the flowers ap- 
pear before the leaves and rise to a height of 2 feet and re- 
semble a gigantic black Calla. This is soon followed by the 
massive tropical-looking leaves, supported by thick, beauti- 
fully marbled stems. Large bulbs, 50 cts. each.

Large-flowering Half-dwarf. Popular plants for bedding 
and for cutting. We can supply the six distinct and beautiful 
varieties offered and described on page 65. 15.cts. each; 
$1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 
ASPARAGUS 
Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). If there is a better 
plant for table decoration than this we do not. know it. 
The foliage is more delicate than that of the finest Fern, being 
lace-like in its filminess. A plant with half a dozen stalks is 
a mass of dainty, misty green, among which the stems of a 
few flowers can be thrust in such a manner asto make a pretty 
decoration for the table. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and 
$ 5.00 per doz. 
Sprengeri (Hmerald Feather). Excellent for hanging- 
baskets, for bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best 
of all plants for the window-box when planted on the outside, 
where it can droop over the edge of the box. 25 cts. and 50 
cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 per doz. 
Scandens Deflexus. A comparatively scarce variety, similar 
in habit of growth to Sprengeri, but with finer, lighter 
green foliage. May be used for the same purposes as Spren- 
geri, and is particularly nice when grown as an individual 
specimen plant. 5Q cts, each.
