injury. 35 cts.; large plants by express, 50 cts. 
and 75 cts. 
Pandurata. (Majestic Rubber.Plant.) 'the odd con- 
struction and mammoth leaves of this new deco- 
rative plant make a very striking appearance. The 
leaves are guitar-shaped with the larger end out, 
stiffly uprising from the central stalk. They are 
very thick and rubbery, ten inches wide by fifteen 
inches long; dark green, with creamy white veins, 
which on the under side are purple and boldly pro-
