Emerald Feather. 



Emerald Feather. 



(asparagus sprengeri. ) 

 This is unquestionably the greatest in- 

 troduction in decorative plants for twenty- 

 five years. For planting in pots, vases or 

 hanging-baskets it is magnificent, sending 

 out enormous, drooping, feathery fronds, 

 which within a short space grow 4 to 8 

 feet, forming an exquisitely handsome 

 and striking picture, and which remain 

 perfect for weeks after cutting. The foli- 

 age is a bright emerald green, and a well- 

 matured plant presents a sight not soon 

 forgotten. It will stand a dry atmosphere 

 as no other plant will . 



Strong plants, 30 cts. each; 3 for 

 50 cts. 



New Bougainvillea Sanderiana. 



It is destined to become one of the most 

 popular pot plants ever introduced. It is 

 a strong vigorous grower, with splendid 

 Camellia-like foliage, deep, shining green, 

 and commences to bloom in small pots 

 and continues throughout the year. As 

 the plant grows older it is literally cov- 

 ered with an amazing number of blos- 

 soms. It produces its flowers as freely as a 

 Fuchsia. In color it is a dazzling, rosy 

 crimson with golden-yellow anthers, last- 

 ing long in perfection. W h en train ed over 

 a trellis a large plant of this superb novelty 

 presents one of the most beautiful sights 

 imaginable. Of the easiest culture, it can-

 they are simply exquisite. 



Swainsonia Alba. 



Clerodendron Fragrans. 



One of the best that we know of for pot 

 culture. The waxy-white flowers are pro- 

 duced in dense, compact clusters like a 

 Geranium, and their fragrance is some- 

 thing delicious; fully as sweet as Gardenia 

 Jessamine or Orange Blossom. A single 

 bunch could well form a bouquet of itself. 

 It is a dwarf, sturdy grower with large, 

 handsome foliage. Very satisfactory.

 cts.

 ceedingly rare and beautiful 

 variety, 'identical with Alba,
