New Emerald Feather Asparagus M SPRENGERH. 



This is undoubtedly one of the handsomest and most 

 valuable evergreen trailing plants for the house and con- 

 servatory ever introduced. It is especially valuable for 

 pots, vases, baskets, etc., covering all with its beautiful 

 sprays of lovely green feathery foliage, which can be cut 

 freely and are very useful for bouquets, wreaths, and all 

 kinds of floral decorations. It makes a charming orna- 

 mental plant for the window or conservatory in Winter, 

 and is equally valuable for vases, baskets, porch boxes in 

 Summer. It is a strong, vigorous plant, very easily grown, 

 requires but little care and keeps on growing, fresh and 

 green, year after year. Priee, 15, 20 and 25 cts. 

 each; '$1.50, $2.00 and $2.50 per doz., post- 

 paid. Extra size from 5 and O inch pots, 40 

 and 50 cts. each, $4.00 and $5.00 per doz., 

 by express.

 more delicate 

 plant than the 

 Sprengerii, but 

 hardy and easily 

 grown; very sat- 

 isfactory for 

 window and 

 house culture ;

 foliage, as fine as the finest silk or lace. The fronds retain 

 their freshness for weeks when cut, and are greatly admired

 and conservatory, and will thrive nicely in the temperature of 

 an ordinary living-room. Entirely unequalled for the grace and 

 beauty of its lovely spray-like fronds. Price, nice thrifty 

 plants, 15 and 20 cts. each, $1.50 and $2.00 per 

 doz., postpaid; larger size, 35 cts. each, $3.50
