DIEFFENBACHIAS. 
A charming variety amoug tlio foliage plants upon which we de- 
pend so ninch for bi'ight ornaiuentation can be given by a more 
libei'al use of the Dieffenbachias, wliicli are noble heat-loving plants, 
witii very broad, tine leaves as handsomely pointed as the Croton's. 
They begin to be very useful when small, and fine old specimens 
grow 6 to 8 feet in height. To all with whom they are not already 
favorites, we would recommend them as among our very handsomest 
and most serviceable foliage plants. 
DIEFFENBACHIA BAUSEI, the variety illustrated, is a very 
handsome plant, with broad leaves, a foot or more in length, on white 
petioles; their surface is a bright, .sunny, golden green, margined and 
irregularly blotched with dark green, and profusely spotted with 
white. $1. 
FICUS ELASTICA. 
Rubber Plant. 
The thick, polished, 
dark green leaves of this 
fine old plant seem formed 
especially to resist the 
dust and gas to which 
plants in dwelling houses 
are exposed. Its large, 
shining leaves and erect 
form are always much 
admired. 50 ets. and up. 
FICUS ELASTICA AUREA VARIEGATA.
