 useful house plant, thriving in a hallway or a comparatively 

 dark place in the room where nothing else will succeed. 5-inch 

 pots, $2.00; 6-inch pots, $2.50 and 7-inch pots, $3.50 each.

Asparagus 



Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). There is no better plant 

 for table decoration than this. The foliage is more delicate

Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging-baskets, for 

 bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants

 droop over the side of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $2.50 

 and $5.00 per doz.

 leaves, these bracts assuming a rich golden bronze tint when the 

 plant is exposed to full light, and the two-lipped white flowers are 

 produced successively between these bracts. The lower lip of the 

 flower has a tesselated marking of pale purple, while the upper 

 lip forms a hood over the dark stamens. 50 cts. each.
