THE GOLDEN PANDANUS (Pandanus Sanderi) 



Never have we taken such pleasure in ofifering a new plant as we do in presenting this Golden Pandanus, without doubt the 

 most important addition in many years to the comparatively small list of really first-class decorative plants, and one that must 

 become valuable, not only in all decorations, but as a plant for the conservatory, the window garden — in fact, for any position 

 where a decorative plant is required, it giving a richness, life and glow of color which cannot be secured with any other 

 subject, and its introduction has been looked forward to, not alone in this country, but in Europe, the plant being well known 

 on both sides of the Atlantic, it having been exhibited at many of the principal horticultural exhibitions in Europe and America 

 during the past six years, and at all of which it was awarded the highest honors, and was enthusiastically described by the horti- 

 cultural press. 



In general habit of growth it closely resembles P. VeitcJii, excepting that its leaves are longer and more recurved, which gives 

 the plant a more graceful appearance : but the main distinctive feature is its coloring, which, instead of being white, as in F. J'ei/chi, 

 is a rich golden-yellow, while the heart of the plant presents a bronzy-orange coloring, which is brightest in the centre, gradually 

 diminishing towards the tips of the leaves. The longitudinal striping of the foliage shows much the same character as P. Veiulii, 

 being generally, in alternate broader and narrower stripes of gold and green, while in some leaves one half is green and the other 

 half gold. A strong feature in favor of the new variety is that the variegations in the foliage become stronger and more pronounced 

 as they grow older, while in P. Wtchi the older leaves usually lose the variegation entirely. 



The plant was discovered by a collector in one of the South Pacific Islands, where he had been sent by Messrs. Sander & Co., of 

 England, for the purpose of collecting rare Orchids and other tropical plants, and who, with considerable difficulty, succeeded in 

 sending the plant to England, where it was carefully nursed and propagated until the spring of 1901, when we succeeded in buying 

 the entire stock, which then consisted of nearly one thousand plants, at a price far in excess of any ever before paid for a decorative 

 plant of any kind. We have been very successful it propagating it, which enables us to offer it for delivery the coming autumn at 

 prices which are remarkably low for such a grand novelty.
