 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; $1.50 per 

 doz.; extra strong plants, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.; specimen plants, 50 

 cts. to $100 each.

 tent, taken the place of the once popular Sniilax 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. 



Tenuissimus. A beautiful species of climbing habit. Remarkable for

 the foliage of other plants it is one of the most effective. 15 cts. each ;
