NEVER have we taken such pleasure in offering a new plan: as 

 we do in presenting this Golden Pandanus, without doubt the 

 most important addition in many vears 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, Ufe and glow of color 

 which cannot be secured with ar.y 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 horticultural press. 



The colored plate on the reverse side gives a fair idea of its general 

 appearance. In habit ot growth it closely resembles P . Veitchi, 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 P. Veitchi, is a rich golden yellow, while the 

 heart of the plant presents a bronzy-orange coloring, which is brightest in 

 the centre, gradually diminishing toward the tips of the leaves. The 

 longitudinal striping of the foliage shows much the same character as P. 

 Veitchi, 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. Veitchi the older leaves usually lose the variegations 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 con- 

 sisted 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 suc- 

 cessfiil in propagating it, which enables us to offer it for delivery the 

 coming autumn at prices which are remarkably low for such a grand 

 novelty.
