 blooms are indispensable for festooning bouquets of flowers, so attractive 

 that they may be used with the finest or with the ordinary garden 

 flowers, lending a unique charm to both. It may be cut and dried and 



will retain its beauty for months 

 after cutting. It is em- 

 inently fitted for

A splendid house or garden plant with 

 slender drooping leaves. It is used ex- 

 tensively as a center plant for vases and 

 for porch and window boxes. A useful 

 plant for large specimens on the lawn or 

 for jardinieres, as it will thrive where many 

 other plants would perish. It will stand 

 full exposure to the sun and its long, 

 graceful narrow leaves give a beautiful 

 effect with other plants. It is unsurpassed 

 for hardiness in the house and eminently 

 fitted to contrast with Palms and other 

 Decorative plants. (See engraving.) Price,
