One of the Most Beautiful and Popular 



Foliage Plants of the Century 

 A Decorative Plant of Unusual Value. 



(Asparagus P I u m o sus)— 



The family of Asparagus plants 

 comprises a number of 

 varieties. Some are climbers, some droop- 

 ing or trailing, some erect and bushy. 

 Many of them are highly prized for their 

 beautiful and graceful foliage, and the 

 two varieties which we list on this page 

 are practically the most popular and val- 

 uable of all. The variety Plumosus (As- 

 paragus Plumosus Nanus) is a tall 

 climbing decorative plant and one of 

 the rarest and of delicate beauty. 

 Its bright green foliage is extremely 

 fine and plume-like. The fronds grow 

 from six to eight inches in width and 

 when cut retain their color and shape 

 for weeks. The plant may be grown 

 as a pot plant, a bushy form or 

 climbing. Asparagus possess the ad- 

 vantage of being more graceful and its 

 foliage finer than those of the most del- 

 icate Fern. As a house plant' it will 

 thrive under practically all conditions. 

 The Asparagus likes a good rich soil and 

 fairly warm temperature. The plant does 

 best and carries the richest color of 

 foliage when it is kept in a growing 

 condition through a plentiful supply of 

 nourishment. Nice plants, 26c each; 3 for 

 74c; $2.50 per dozen. Stronger plants, 38c 

 each; 3 for $1.08; $3.65 per dozen. 

 Larger plants, 59c; 3 for $1.60; $5.66 per 

 dozen.
