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, giving it a style and an air that can not 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, ai d for many uses has taken the place of Smilax. Asa house plant it is deser- 

 vedly 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 Hhe 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 spra3's 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 for- 

 ward with such prominence that the supply 

 will be inadequate to the demand for some 

 time to come. Not only i3 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, by express at 

 buyers expense.
