ASPIDISTRA VARIEGATA— SIX^VieR SHIEI.D. 



Silver Shield is a good name for this fine ornamental-leaved Japanese 

 plant. There is absolutely no other that will stand more ill treatment, such 

 as dust, dry air, want of liffht, etc. Leaves are long, broad, shiny, alternately- 

 striped green and pure white ; frequently green, others all white ; likes lots 

 of water. We recommend it as one of the grandest of plants {see cut). A 

 grower going out of business had to dispose of his stock. We bought it, hence 

 the low prices. This valuable plant cannot be grown for less than 35 cts. per 

 plant. While our stock lasts we will sell this lot at 30 cts. each ; 2 for 50 cts., 

 fine, large plants. Larger plants, from 6-inch pots, 50c. each, postpaid by mail.
