Dbutzia Lemoinki. 



Dentzia Liemomei. 



Without doubt one of the most important new hardy 

 plants offered in many years. It is a hybrid between D. 

 gracilis and D. parviflora. and has the advantage over the 

 former of having flowers nearly three times as large, which 

 are produced in broad based cone-sliaped heads of from 20 

 to 30 flowers each, and are of purest white, which open out 

 very full. It is perfectly hardy, and will not only prove a 

 valuable plant for the garden, but is certain to become one 

 of the standard plants for forcing into flower in vdnter, 

 more especially at Easter, and it is quite sure to take the 

 place of the popular D. gracilis. This plant has received 

 the highest awards from the National Horticultural Society 

 of France, and has created quite a sensation wherever 

 shown. Good one year old plants 20 cts. each, $2.25 

 doz. 



Draceena Godseffiana. 



Undoubtedly the most striking new plant intro- 

 duced this year. As shown in the illustration, the 

 plant is of an entirely difierent habit and appearance 

 from all other Dracaenas ; it is of free-branching 

 habit, and throws out many suckers from the base 

 so as to form beautiful, compact, graceful specimens 

 in a very short time. Its foliage is broadly lanceo- 

 late, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 inches wide ; of 

 a strong leathery texture ; rich dark green color, 

 densely marked with irregular dots and spots of a 

 creamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of 

 which the markings in the foliage strikingly remind 

 one. The illustration gives but a faint idea of its 

 striking beauty ; it is a plant which will undoubt- 

 edly be grown very extensively for decorative purposes 

 when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy 

 as a house plant, equaling if not surpassing in this 

 respect the Aspidistra and Ficus. Strong plants in 

 4-inch pots, $3.00 each, $30.00 per doz.

 large specimens. 5 inch' pots, 50 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz.

 known as it deserves to be ; a most useful decorative 

 pfant that will stand as much abuse as a Eubber. We

4 inch pots, 10 ins. high, 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



5 " 18 " 50 " 5.00 "

 green bands alternating and of various widths, the whole 

 surface of the plant being covered with a silvery sheen of 

 bloom. It is altogether different from anything hereto-
