DAHLIA JUAREZII. 



DAHLIA JUAREZII— CACTUS DAHLIA. 



A grand and distinct variety, most valuable and useful as a 

 decorative plant for all purposes through the late summer and 

 autumn months. 



Its blossoms are of a rich crimson-scarlet, and very much re- 

 semble in color and shape the well-known Cactus-Cereus Spe- 

 ciosissimus, hence the name " Cnctus Dahlia." 



It grows from three to four feet high, very branching, flowers 

 of very striking appearance, and quite unlike those of an ordi- 

 nary double Dahlia, the florets being flat and not cupped. 50 

 cents each. 



DRAC^NA GOLDIANA. 



One of the most magnificent ornamental foliage plants ever 

 introduced, and altogether unique in character and aspect. It 

 is a native of Western Tropical Africa. The plant is of erect 

 habit and the stems are closely set with stalked spreading If^aves, 

 the petioles of which are of a grayish color ; terete with a narrow- 

 furrow along the upper side, the base being dilated and sheathing 

 the stem. The blade of the leaf is marbled and irregularly banded 



■with dark green and silver gray in altemate straight bands, the colors being about equally distributed. The 



back of the unfolded leaves and the stem where 



visible, are a pale reddish purple or wine color. 



It is, without doubt, one of the most superb of 



ornamental store plants, and indispensable in all 



first-class collections. $3.00 to jgio.oo.
