WHOLESALI! FSICE LIST. 



THE 



NEW GOLDEN 



PANDANUS. 



(Pandanus Sanderi) 



Never have we taken such pleasure in 

 offering a new plant as we do in present- 

 ing this Golden Pandanus, without doubt 

 the most important addition in many years 

 to the comparatively small list of really 

 first-class decorative plants, and one that 

 must become valuable, not only in all 

 decorations, but as a plant for the con- 

 servatory, the window garden — in fact, 

 for any position where a decorative plant 

 is required, it giving a richness, life and 

 glow of color which cannot be secured 

 with any other subject, and its introduction 

 has been looked forward to, not alone in 

 this country, but in Europe, the plant 

 being well known on both sides of the 

 Atlantic, it having been exhibited at many 

 of the principal horticultural exhibitions in 

 Europe and America during the past six years, 

 and at all of which it was awarded 

 the highest honors, and was enthu- 

 siastically described by the horticultural 

 press. 



In general habit of growth it closely 

 resembles P. Veitchi, excepting that its 

 leaves are longer and more recurved, which 

 gives the plant a more graceful appearance ; 

 but the main distinctive feature is its coloring, 

 which, instead of being white, as in P. 



THE GOLDEN PANDANUS (Pandanus Sanderi) 



Veitchi, is a rich golden-yellow, while the heart of the plant presents a bronzy-orange coloring, which is brightest in the centre, gradually 

 diminishing towards the tips of the leaves. The longitudinal striping of the foliage shows much the same character as P. Veitchi, 

 being generally, in alternate broader and narrower stripes of gold and green, while in some leaves one half is green and the other 

 half gold. A strong feature in favor of the new variety is that the variegations in the foliage become stronger and more pronounced 

 as they grow older, while in P. Veitchi the older leaves usually lose the variegation entirely. 



The plant was discovered by a collector in one of the South Pacific Islands, where he had been sent by Messrs. Sander & Co., of 

 England, for the purpose of collecting rare Orchids and other tropical plants, and who, with considerable difficulty, succeeded in 

 sending the plant to England, where it was carefully nursed and propagated until the spring of 1901, when we succeeded in buying 

 the entire stock, which then consisted of nearly one thousand plants, at a price far in excess of any ever before paid for a decorative 

 plant of any kind. We have been very successful in propagating it, which enables us to offer it for delivery the coming autumn at 

 prices which are remarkably low for such a grand novelty.
