DRAC^NAS. 



Godsefflaua. Undoubtedly one of the most slriUing new onia- 

 ment;^l foliage plants of recent introduction. As shown in the illus- 

 tration, the plant is of an entirely different habit and appearance 

 from all other Dracsenas ; it is of free-branching habit, and throws 

 out many suckeis from the base so as to form beautiful, compact, 

 graceful specimens m a very short time. Its foliage is broadly lan- 

 ceolate, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 inches wide; of a strong 

 leathery texture; rich dark green color, densely marked with irregu-i 

 lar dots and spots of a creamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba Japon- 

 ica, of which the markings in the foliage strikingly remind one. 

 The illustration gives but a faint idea of its striking beauty ; it is a 

 plant which will undoubtedly be grown very extensively for decor- 

 ative purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy as 

 a house plant, equaling if not surpassing in this respect the Aspidis- 

 tra and Ficus. Strong plants in 5-inch pots, $3 00 each; fine young 

 plants, 50 cts. each.
