Asparagus Plumosu5 Nanus 



Agapanthu^ Umbellatus 



ANTHERICUM 



Comosum {Mandaianum). A pretty variegated plant well 

 adapted for use in hanging baskets, or as an edging for porch 

 or window boxes, with graceful, 4 to 6 inches long, deep 

 green foliage with a band of creamy yellow through the centre.

ASPARAGUS 



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 man- 

 ner as to make the combination far superior artistically, to most ex- 

 pensive 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 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. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each; $1.50 and $2.50 per doz. 



BOUGAINVII.LEA 



Sanderiana. This beautiful free-flowering variety is very popular, 

 especially as a plant for Easter. Its brilliant rosy-crimson blossoms are 

 produced from early in March until midsummer; in fact, a plant will 

 frequently flower the greater part of the year. 25 cts. each.
