For general decorative purposes, this is one of the very best plants 

 we know. It is of graceful habit, an exceedingly rapid grower, and 

 is not affected by sunshine, storm or drought. It forms a Palm-like 

 tree, and does equally well indoors or in open ground. We specially 

 recommend this lovely decorative plant. It will come as near giving 

 entire satisfaction as anything offered in this book. As a rule it sells 

 for a high price. We offer it at a popular price. Nice plants, 20 cts, 

 each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $i. 



A MAGNIFICENT PAI,M, I/ATANIA BORBONICA. 



Certainly no plant could be more ornamental or satisfactory than 

 this superb variety, which is conceded to be one of the best decorative 

 Palms now known. It is immensely popular and deservedly so, be- 

 cause it is not only remarkably beautiful, but of the easiest culture, 

 standing neglect well and attains a great size. The leaves are large, 

 deeply divided and fan-shaped (see cut) : Requires fairly good soil, 

 moderate moisture and partially shady situation. We have a limited 

 supply in two sizes; at prices named they are bargains. First size, 

 large plants, 25 cts. each; 5 for $1. Larger plants, from 4-inch pots, 

 50 cts. each, postpaid by mail. 



ASPIDISTRA VARIFGATA— SILVER SHIELD. 



Silver Shield is a good name for this fine ornamental-leaved Japan- 

 ese plant. There is absolutely no other that will stand more ill-treat- 

 ment, such as dust, dry air, want of light, etc. Leaves are long, broad, 

 shiny, alternately striped green and pure white ; frequently green, 

 others all white ; likes lots of water. We recommend it as one of the 

 grandest of plants (see cut). A grower going out of business had to 

 dispose of his stock. We bought it, hence the low prices. This val- 

 uable plant cannot be grown for less than 35 cts. per plant. While our 

 stock lasts we will sell this lot at 30 cts. each ; 2 for 50 cts., fine, large 

 plants. Larger plants, from 6-inch pots, 50 cts. each, postpaid by mail.

 a long time. Nice plants, 35 cts. each ; 3 for $1.
