Azalea Indica 



Aspidistra 



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

 useful house plant, thriving in a haUway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 5-inch 

 pots, $2.00; 6-inch pots, $2.50 and 7-inch pots, $3.50 each. 



Lurida Variegata. The dark green leaves are striped with 

 white. 5-inch pots, $2.50 each; 6-inch pots, $3.50 each. 



Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus {Asparagus Fcrji). 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. 

 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 and $5.00 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 near the edge where it can 

 droop over the side of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz.

Beloperone Guttata 



This singularly attractive novelty is a relative of the Justicias, 

 but is more slender and graceful in growth. The inflorescence of 

 Beloperone is composed of a series of overlapping bracts or floral 

 leaves, these bracts assuming a rich golden bronze tint when the 

 plant is exposed to full light, and the two-lipped white flowers are 

 produced successively between these bracts. The lower lip of the 

 liower has a tesselated marking of pale purple, while the upper 

 lip forms a hood over the dark stamens. 50 cts. each.
