Grand Ne\ir Single Dahlia "Txiren- 

 tieth Century." 



A most distinct single Dahlia, and a variety that will prove 

 especially valuable for cutting ; the flowers are of largest size, 6 

 to 7 inches across, of perfect form, while the plant is a strong 

 grower, of free branching habit, bearing its flowers freely on 

 long stout stems. The color is pure white, overlaid with a 

 beautiful soft pink ; not variegated, but a blending of colors, 

 reminding one of the delicate tracings of some of the Orchids. 



All the cut blooms procurable of this handsome single were 

 sold readily in Philadelphia last year at $4.00 per 100. 



Strong green plants, ready in April, 75 cents each ; J7.50 per 

 dozen. 



All the Dahlias we offer, with the exception of " Twentieth 

 Century." are strong field roots; we will supply one each of the 

 entire collection — 106 varieties in all — a superb collection, for 

 $11.50.

 dozen ; $8.00 per 100. 



DRAC^NA GODSEFFIANA. 



Dracaena GodsefB.ana. 



Undoubtedly one of the most striking ornamental foliage 

 plants of recent introduction. The plant is of an entirely differ- 

 ent habit and appearance from all other Dracsenas. It is of 

 free-branching habit, and throws out many suckers from the 

 base so as to form beautiful, compact, graceful specimens in a 

 very short time. Its foliage is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches 

 long, and 2 to 3 inches wide, of a strong leathery texture, rich 

 dark green color, densely marked with irregular dots and spots of 

 a creamy white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of which the 

 markings in the foliage strikingly remind one. It is a plant 

 which will undoubtedly be grown extensively for decorative pur- 

 poses when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy as a 

 house plant, equaling, if not surpassing in this respect, the 

 Aspidistra and Ficus.
