 raising seedlings and the four varieties here offered are entirely 

 distinct selections made from hundreds of seedlings. 

 Harmony. Broad green foliage with creamy-white margin and pink 



edge. 

 Juno. Large massive broad green foliage becoming marked and 



edged with creamy white and rose.

introduced with heavy bronzy foliage developing to an intense 



brilliant rosy crimson.

green with pink and white markings.

Dracaena Indivisa 



Farfugium Grande 



FARFUGIUM 



Grande {Leopard Plant). 

 This is an extremely orna- 

 mental plant. Its large, cir- 

 cular leaves, thickly spot- 

 ted with creamy white and 

 yellow, make it wonderfully 

 effective for room decora- 

 tion. It likes a soil of loam 

 and mucky matter, half and 

 half, with a good deal of 

 water. Ample provision, 

 however, should be made 

 for drainage. Once a month 

 apply a fertilizer, as it is a 

 gross feeder when allowed 

 to have its way. Keep it in 

 the shade. 50 cts. each; 

 15.00 per doz. 



Ficus Elastica (Rubber Plant) 



FICUS (Rubber Plant) 



Australis. A rapid-growing compact, free-branching variety, with small, leathery, 

 dark-green leaves. Very attractive when grown in bush form. 4-inch pots, 75 cts. 

 each. Larger plants, $1.00 and $2.00 each. 



Elastica. The well-known Rubber Plant. 4-inch pot, 10 inches high, 75 cts. each; 

 6-inch pot, 20 to 24 inches high, $1.50 each. 



Radicans Variegata. A trailing variety with very small foliage which is prettily 

 variegated green and white. 50 cts. each. 



Utilis. Entirely distinct and unlike the popular Rubber Plant, yet possessing the same 

 hardiness. The leaves are thick and leathery, of a rich holly-green, with midrib and 

 principal veins of ivory-white. Strong plants, $1.00 and $2.00 each.

 planting on surface of pots or tubs containing specimen plants.
