Araucaria (Norfolk Island Pine) 



AraUCaria (Norfolk island Pine) 



Excelsa. One of the very popular decorative plants which has 

 been practically unobtainable since the importation of plants 

 from foreign countries has been prohibited. We are pleased to 

 be able to offer a limited stock of American grown plants.

 15 inches high, $3.00 each. 



Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus (AspjraxHs Fcm). There is no better plant 

 for table decoration than this. 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 a pretty decoration for the table. 25 cts. and 50 cts. 

 each; S2.50 and S5.00 per doz. 



Sprengeri {Emerald 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.

 June of the 8 distinct colors offered and fully described on page 

 69. $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Aspidistra 



Lurida. One of the easiest decorative plants to grow. A most 

 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 6-inch 

 pots, S1.50 to $2.00 each.
