ARDISIA CRENULATA. 
A very ornamental greenhouse plant,with dark evergreen foliage pro- 
ducing clusters of brilliant red berries; a first-class house plant i in winter.

AspipistRa Luripa VARIEGATA 
Thrifty young plants, 50 cts. each. Fine plants for this season’s fruiting, 
$1.00 and $1.50 each. 
BOUGAINVILLEA. 
This beautiful free-flowering variety is very 
Its brilliant rosy- 
Sanderiana. 
popular, especially as a plant for Easter. 
crimson blossoms are produced from early in March until 
midsummer; in fact, a plant will frequently flower the greater 
part of the year. 
25 cts. each. 
Araucaria (NorFrorx Istanp Pine) 
ASPARAGUS. 
Madagasceriensis. A distinct species which makes a splen- 
did shapely, ornamental plant from 10 to 12 inches high, 
with rich dark olive-green, glossy foliage, reminding one of a 
small-leaved Ruscus; an attractive plant for the conservatory 
or window garden, particularly so when it becomes well set 
with its large orange-scarlet berries, which appear quite freely 
at the tips of the many small branches. 25 cts. each; $2.50 
per doz. 
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 as to make the 
combination far superior, artistically, to most expensive dec- 
orations prepared for the table by the professional florist. 15 
cts. and 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.50 per doz. 
Sprengeii (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 out- 
side, where it can droop over the edge of the box. 18 cts. 
and 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.50 per doz. 
ASPIDISTRA. 
The Aspidistra is the easiest of all decorative plants to grow - 
well. Give it a loamy soil and plenty of water, and it will ask 
for nothing more. 
For veranda decoration in summer it is unexcelled. In the 
hall, at any season of the year, it will attract more attention 
than almost any plant that can be grown there. It is never 
injured by insects. Those who have ‘‘no luck’? with other 
decorative plants ought by all means to try this. Simply keep 
it well watered and fertilized and it will grow for anyone. 
Lurida. Green-leaved, 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1.00 each. 
Lurida Variegata. A pretty variegated form, the foliage 
being striped with white. 75 cts. and $1.00 each. 5
