XXI. Aspi 



We can furnish sound and well-rooted plants from October to 

 April; they are grown in the open ground and will be furnished 

 without soil; they must, however, be sent by the quickest way possible 

 The plants will be packed very carefully in moss and cases, in order 

 to prevent the leaves from getting damaged; they will, however, not 

 all be ready for sale and part of them must be grown again in pots. 

 The plants are undivided. Of course the plants with striped or spotted 

 leaves produce sometimes also some leaves that are only slightly varie- 

 gated or even green, which, as they belong to the plant, cannot be 

 taken off and must consequently be charged as variegated ones. The 

 plants are sent of course at buyer's risk , they are , however, packed 

 so carefully that in our opinion they will stand well, even a prolonged 

 journey. By parcel post we can forward baskets of 11 Lb. weight 

 containing about 80 to 100 leaves for trial, but they will not give 

 an exact idea of the quality, as large plants cannot for their size 

 be sent as parcels.

XXII. Fruits of Lagenaria vulgaris. 



These highly interesting fruits of many interesting shapes are not yet sufficiently known, although they are a most 



attractive object for show-windows, and at the same time a very salable article. The very often really gigantic fruits, 



for instance those of the Hercules club, are so decorative that they sell very readily, and there is no kind that is not 

 highly decorative.

XXIII. Cycas revoluta 



(see Electro page 64). 



Small sound and good trunks (bulbs detached from the mother plant) grown here and therefore much better adapted 

 to grow freely than those imported from warmer countries.
