S^NSEVIERA ZEALANICA.— Too much cannot be said 

 in favor of this as a decorative pot plant. There are none 

 so beautiful in foliage, and few that will stand neglect so 

 well as it ; it laughs at ill treatment and neglect ; thrives 

 without water ; gas or dust does not affect it ; it is always 

 clean and beautiful. Has long, leathery, sword-like leaves, 

 elegantly marked with bars of silvery gray an immense 

 feathery flower; spikes shoot up from the centre of th 

 plant, which emits a delightful fragrance ; grand in every 

 way. 12 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts. 



THE MANETTIA VINE.— In order to get the most suc- 

 cessful results from this lovely vine allow the roots to be- 

 come pot-bouni. This causes the plant to bloom profusely 

 when it is quite small. Those who have seen this vine in 

 bloom will coincide with us that there is not another vine 

 prettier for window or pot culture, and when grown to per 

 fection is exceedingly beautiful. Beyond the one point 

 given above, it thrives for all with small care ; the lovely 

 wreaths and garlands of brilliant scarlet and orange-col- 

 ored flowers, interspersed with bright, oblong foliage 

 present a striking contrast. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.

 perbly beautiful. Grows remarkably quick and makes

 of a window box, or for hanging basket, or grown on a

 plants. Likes heat and a little manure water now and 

 then. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for Si
