The growing of plants in hanging vases has become quite popular. 

 They are made of various forms and material, from the common earthen- 

 ware to the finest China and terra-cotta, ornamental and gilt; also of 

 wire and rustic work, varying in price, from 50 cents to $5 each. 

 The following plants are suited for planting in them, on account of 

 their slender habit and trailing branches. They should be planted in 

 a rich, porous soil, and kept freely watered.

One of the most beautiful of variegated leaved plants. It is a 

 variety of the well-known S. sarmentosa, having leaves distinctly 

 marked with white, green and reddish purple spots. For hanging 

 baskets, rock work or vases, the old variety, even with its plain leaves, 

 was always a favorite, but the effect produced by this finely marked 

 variety is surpassingly beautiful. Price, 50 cts. each. 



OISSUS DISOOLOE. 



We can recommend this as one of the most beautiful of our variegated 

 foliage plants, and is particularly adapted from its climbing habit, 

 for twining around rustic and hanging baskets during the summer 

 months, it requires a hot-house during the winter. Price, 30 to 50 

 cents each. 



SELAGINELLA DEl^TIGULATA YAEIEGATA. 



New Variegated Lycopodium. 



Suitable for hanging baskets and vases; the branchlets are pointed 

 with white, looking in the winter as if tipped with snow ; during the 

 summer it assumes a somewhat greener aspect. 50 cts. each.
