Asparagus Sprengeri — The charming new decorative plant. When 

 introduced, at a high price, a liule over a year ago, this variety was 

 received with some hesitation as to its desirability, but after only a limited 

 trial it has come forward with such prominence that the supply will be 

 inadequate to the demand for some time to come. Not only is it useful for 

 cutting in sprays for fine cut-flower work, more particularly in connection 

 with large roses, etc., but grown in suspended pots it makes one of the 

 prettiest decorative house plants we know of. Used in decorations, as. for 

 example, in the decorations of mantles, nothing can equal it. 10c and 

 15c. each.
