ffercd. It is an Australian variety, and a favorite with all on account 
ts beautiful appearance and easy culture. Give it plenty of water, a 
ituation in the room where the sun will strike it, and this is all it re- 
uires. The leaves are of a light green color, spreading, fan-shaped, and 
ccply cut. The inner part of the leaves have a hairy-like appearance 
hat renders it very effective. For hardiness and hard usage no plant 
1 cultivation to-day can compare with it. It is a superb variety, and 
re would advise all to include it in their order. 4.0c. each.
