Asparagus Plumosus Nanus 



THE BEAUTIFUL LACE FERN 



The rare and delicate beauty of this plant can scarcely be shown by a picture or 

 conveyed by a description. It has bright green foliage, which is gracefully arched, giv- 

 ing it a style and an air that cannot be surpassed. ' The delicacy of texture and richness 

 of color are among the marked characteristics. No more beautiful decorative plant 

 has ever been produced. The fronds are 12 to 15 inches in length, and taper to a 

 point from a width of 12 inches. It will last for weeks after being cut, and for many 

 uses has taken the place of Smilax. As a house plant it is deservedly popular because 

 of the fact that it does well under almost all conditions. 15c. each, postpaid; larger 

 plants, 25c., 50c, 75c., $1.00, by express at buyer's expense. 



Ornamental Asparagus 



(ASPARAGUS SPRENGERI) 



This is one of the most charming of dec- 

 orative plants. It grows free the whole year 

 round, withstands a dry atmosphere, which 

 makes it a most excellent house plant, and is 

 a vigorous grower, producing sprays 4 or 5 

 feet long of fresh., green, feathery foliage. 

 When introduced, at a high price, a little 

 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 partic- 

 ularly 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. 



Strong plants, 10c. to 15c. each, postpaid. 

 Larger plants, 25c. to 50c. each.
