ASPARAGUS. 



Madagasceriensis. A distinct species which makes a splendid 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 decorations prepared for the 



table by the professional florist. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.50 

 per doz. 



Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for 

 hanging-baskets, for bracket use and for culting. 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. 15 

 cts. and 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.50 

 per doz.

Asparagus Plumosus Nanus 



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 sum- 

 mer it is unexcelled. In the hall, 

 at any season of the year, it will at- 

 tract more attention than almost any 

 plant that can be grown there. It 

 is never injured by insects. Those 

 who have "no luck" with other dec- 

 orative plants ought by all means to 

 try this. Simply keep it well wa- 

 tered and fertilized and it will grow 

 for anyone. 

 Green-leaved 50 cts., 75 cts. and 



$1.00 each.
