Drac^na Godskffiana. 



Dracsenas. 



Qodsefflana. One of the most striking ornamental 

 foliage plants of recent introduction. The plant is of 

 an entirely diflferent habit and appearance from all other 

 Dracsenas; of free-branching habit, and throws out many 

 suckers from the base so as to form beautiful, compact, 

 graceful specimens in a short time. Its foliage is broadly 

 lanceolate, 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 ; will undoubtedly be 

 grown extensively for decorative purposes when it be- 

 comes more plentiful, as it is very hardy as a house 

 plant, equaling, if not surpassing in this respect, the 

 Aspidistra and Ficus.

 upright stems, variegated, with silvery white and green 

 bands alternating, and of various widths, the whole .sur- 

 face of the plant being covered with a silvery sheen of 

 bloom. It is altogether different from anything hereto- 

 fore known in the way of Dracsenas. Good young plants, 

 3 inch pots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per dozen.
