'fflLMtM 



Araucaria Excelsa 



Ardisia 



Crenulata. A very ornamental greenhouse plant with dark 

 green, glossy, attractive foliage, bearing clusters of very brilliant 

 red berries. A good subject for the window garden. Fine plants 

 in 5-inch pots that will fruit this season. $2.00 each. 



Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). There is no better plant 

 for table decoration than this. The foliage is more delicate 

 than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its filminess. A 

 plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green.

Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants 

 for the window-box when planted near the edge where it can 

 droop over the side of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz.

 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively

 Specimen plants, 8-inch tubs, $6.00 each.

 white. 5-inch pots, $2.50 each; 6-inch pots, $3.50 each.
