Asparagus — Sprengerii. 
Sprengerii. A graceful and pret- 
ty new variety useful for 
hanging baskets or decorative 
purposes. Its long drooping 
fronds are rich glossy green 
in color and are from 2 to 5 
feet in length, and when cut 
will retain their freshness for 
weeks. An excellent plant for 
the dwelling house as it suc- 
cessfully stands the dry at- 
mosphere. 
Young plants 15c. 
Strong plants 25c. 
Specimen plants ?1 to $5. 
AZALEA INDICA. 
Beautiful plants for window or 
conservatory decoration, the dif- 
ferent varieties having their sea- 
son of bloom from January to 
May. They require an abund- 
ance of water when in bloom 
and lack of this is most often 
the cause of their not lasting 
long when in flower. They like 
a cool situation and in summer 
do best when planted out in a 
partially shaded situation and 
frequently sprayed over the fo- 
liage. They should never be al- 
lowed to dry out at any stage of 
their growth; we have them in 
shades of pink to deep rose, red, 
white and variegated. While we 
have them in flower at most all 
times during the winter we aim 
to have the most of them in 
flower at the Easter season, 
when we are able to supply any 
color. Strong blooming plants 
$1.00 to S3. 00 each. 
ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. 
An elegant and graceful ever- 
green plant well adapted to 
house culture. Attractive and 
graceful in appearance at all 
times and especially popular at 
the Christmas season, it does 
best in a rather cool situation. 
Otherwise the culture is the 
same as for palms. 
Fine plants ?1 to $5 each.
