RAVENALA Madagascariensia. This, the Travel- 
eler's Tree of Madagascar, is of stately and noble 
habit, and but for the musa like character of its 
large, handsome oblong leaves it might be taken for 
a Palm. Its singular character gives it a most in- 
teresting appearance, and it is a most useful decor- 
ative plant. Fine specimens, $5 to $10.

elegant habit, with segmental foliage of a rich color 
and great hardiness. No better decorative plants

befall decorative plants .'j!2 50 to $10 00

dispensable. To this genus belongs the native
