ASPARAGUS. 



Sprengeri. A most desirable species, especially useful to grow as a pot plant for decorative 

 purposes or for planting in suspended baskets ; the fronds are frequently 4 feet long, of a 

 rich shade of green, and- most useful for cutting, retaining their freshness after being cut for 

 weeks. It will make an excellent house plant, as it withstands dry atmosphere and succeeds 

 in almost any position. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts. each; S)1..50 per doz.; extra strong 

 plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; specimen plants, 50 cts. to $1.00 each.

 with narrow glaucous green foliage. It makes a pretty plant for decorative or exhibition 

 purposes. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each. 



Plumosus Nanus. This graceful climbing asparagus has, to a great extent, taken the place 

 of the once popular Smilax in all fine decorations. It possesses the advantage of being much 

 more graceful, its foliage being finer than that of the most delicate fern, and will last for 

 weeks after being cut, the whole plant being of a bright, cheerful green. It is an excellent 

 house plant, succeeding under almost any conditions. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each.; $1.50 and 

 $2.50 per doz.
