SlEBRECHT & WaDLEY'S CATALOGUE OF 
New Broad-Leaved Dracaenas. 
We present below several new Draccenas of our own hybridization. In these, it has been our aim to obtain not 
only the fine coloring usually striven for by hybridizers, but also a strong and vigorous habit and an enduring constitu- 
tion, in order that the varieties may be fully available for the Iiard usage of decorating and outdoor sub-tropical plant 
i:ig. In this we have succeeded to a remarkable degree, and the new varieties here presented are a very considerable 
advance in this useful genus. 
DRAC.^\A, American Florist. Of upright growth, with recurving leaves, which are of a very bright and lively 
green, varied with clear white and sharply edged with rosy pink. An attractive and useful variety of strong 
growth and graceful habit. A hybrid between D. Cooperi and D. viarsinala alba. $5. 
Mrs. H. McK. Twombley. One of the most remarkable Dracaenas ever seen. A majestic plant of strong 
growth and vigorous, upright habit ; its very broad and beautifully-wave'd foliage, held at an angle of 45°, attracts 
the eye first by symmetry of form, and holds it to be further delighted by remarkable coloring. At the base of the 
plant the older leaves present a deep, blackish crimson surface, varied in the younger foliage with the rich color- 
ing of American Beauty rose, and crowned by central leaves, with delicate tints of pink and crimson, only compar- 
able to the sunrise sky. A specimen plant of this species will always command instant attention. $10. 
Mrs. Terry. A hybrid of D. S^-Oitii and D. lermhtalis, showing its relationship to the latter in general appear- 
ance, but having broader leaves, with a particularly wide base and an odd, beautiful coloring distinctively its own. 
Two-thirds of the entire leaf is a soft, charming, deep rosy pink, the remainder being a greenish brown ; young 
pl.-.nts color brightly while yet small, and grow rapidly into symmetrical form. I7.50. 
Stricla albo-liiicata. Tliis is certainly the best white-variegated Draca;na yet introduced. Nearly all sorts uf 
this type now in cultivation have proved weak in constitution, coloring or variegation, and are, tlierefore, very un- 
satisfactory. But this new form, we are glad to announce, has, after two years' trial, proved itself robust in habit 
and regular in variegation and form of growth, the latter being 
much like that of D. siric/a grandis. Distinct and valuable ; 
hybridized from D. Icrminalis alba and D. Scotlii. $7.50. 
Titswortliiana. Of distinct and compact habit, the leaves refle.x- 
ing to form each a semi-circle. The coloring is attractive ; the 
ground is a light and very bright green, varied with white and 
clear salmon and margined with pink. An excellent variety for 
table decorations, coloring finely when very young. $2. 
Mrs. C. F. Havemeyer. A stately plant, with splendid coloring 
somewhat like that of/), hybrida^ but richer and much more intense. 
The stems of the leaves, as well as the plant-stem, partake of this 
color, wliich we can only describe as a combination of salmon-pink 
and rosy red. The plant grows rapidly, and is quite distinct ; a 
hybrid between D. Scotlii and D. hybrida. $7.50. 
Mrs. Geo. M. Piillnian. One of the finest of our broad-leaved 
hybridizations. A cross between D. Scoltii and D. lerniiiialis 
alba, it mingles the coloring of both. The remarkably broad leaves 
are set in compact arrangement about the stem at a considerable 
angle, assuming a beautiful recurved or semi-pendulous form, 
which reveals the rich coloring of the central foliage, including rich 
green, shading through creamy lemon color to snowy white, again 
melting into clear pink and light crimson. This variegation often 
extends over more than half tlie leaf, and in the older foliage is 
bright, bronzy green, with deep pink shades and suffusion. $10. 
Mrs. Geo. J. Magee. A handsome, broad-leaved hybrid [D. 
Scotlii "KD. stricla grandis). The color is light green, beauti- 
fully varied with bright, clear pink, and edged with the saine 
shade. The whole stem is of a handsome, light crimson, which is 
prominent in the entire plant, giving it a remarkable character. 
The plant is strong and regular in growth, coloring freely while very 
young. $5. 
Dracaena Sanderiana. 
This grand novelty of recent introduction is a most beautiful addi- 
tion to this already charming class of foliage i)lants. As will be seen 
in the illustration, it is of a very distinct character, and altogether 
(lift'erent from anything ever introduced. As a single plant it is most 
valuable for jardiniere work and table decorations, but if three to 
nine plants are massed together it makes the finest exhibition speci- 
men that can be found. The leaves are of a heavy texture, adding 
i)i<.\c/ii.NA bA.MjLi;i.\.NA. greatly to its value as a decorative plant, fio, $15 and |2o.
