 green color, handsome-

 whit e. Exceedingly 

 odd in its habit of flow- 

 ering, bearing long 

 stems surmounted with 

 a delicate tuft of the 

 finest creamy white 

 blossoms, which throw 

 out little rootlets under- 

 neath, and then grow 

 another stem and blos- 

 soms in like manner. 

 These little rootlets 

 may be potted, and in 

 turn will yield another 

 beautiful plant. A 

 handsomer and more 

 showy plant for a jar- 

 dinere or vase can not 

 be found.
