CHRYSANTHEMUM (Marguerites) OR PARIS DAISIES. 



This variety has been confused with the Oxeye Daisy, which it somewhat resembles. It is to

 every admirer of floriculture. The following are really single Chrysanthemums, but differing 

 from the ordinary kinds in the following particulars. They are as tender as Scarlet Geranium, 

 and require to be treated similar to a Yerbena, and if planted in poor soil in a sunny situation 

 they make a most charming line of either white or yellow. They make also handsome pot 

 plants, for which purpose they are largely grown for the Paris and London markets.

DRAC/ENA GOLDIANA. 



One of the most magnificent ornamental 

 foliage plants ever introduced and alto- 

 gether unique in character and aspect. 

 It is a native of Western Tropical Africa. 

 The plant is of erect habit and the stems 

 are closely set with stalked spreading 

 leaves, the petioles of which are of a gray- 

 ish color; terete with a narrow furrow 

 along the upper side, the base being di- 

 lated and sheathing the stem. The blade 

 of leaf is marbled and irregularly banded 

 with dark green and silver gray' in alter- 

 nate straight bands, the colors being about 

 equally distributed. The back of the un- 

 folded leaves is a pale reddish purple or 

 wine color, and the stem where visible. 

 It is, without doubt, one of the most su- 

 perb of ornamental store plants and in- 

 dispensable in all first-class collections. 

 Price on application.
