gs DRACZENAS. 
Godseffiana. Undoubtedly the most striking new 
plant introduced this year. As shown in the illus- 
tration, the plant is of an entirely different habit 
and appearance from all other Draceenas; it is of 
free-branching habit, and throws out many suckers 
from the base so as to form beautiful, compact, 
graceful specimens in a very short time. Its foliage 
is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 
inches wide; of a strong leathery texture; rich 
dark green color, densely marked with irregular dots 
and spots of a creamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba 
Japonica, of which the markings in the foliage strik- 
ingly remind one. The illustration gives but a faint 
idea of its striking beauty; it isa plant which will 
undoubtedly be grown very extensively for decora- 
tive purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it 
is very hardy as ahouse plant, equaling if not surpass- 
ing in this respect the Aspidistra and Ficus. Strong 
plants, in 4-inch pots, $3.00 each, $30.00 per doz.
