 ding qualities and finest flowers. It has been our aim 

 to grow no other, and our customers may rest assured 

 that this set comprises all the positive colors to be found 

 in any collection of verbenas, together with the best 

 striped and mottled ones grown. A collection of the

Yucca, or Adam's Needle, for a cemetery, we doubt 

 if a more appropriate plant can be found than the Yucca. 

 The immense clusters of pure white blossoms render it 

 very attractive. The leaves are narrow and long, and 

 from their edges depend long threads. The flower stalk 

 arises from the center of the plant to a height of three 

 or four feet, and the bell shaped, white blossoms are 

 produced in abundance. The plant is perfectly hardy 

 and can be set out where required, either in autumn or 

 spring, and it will require no further care. 

 Filajuentosa. 25 cents to $1.00.
