BOTANICAL, INDEX 
AJYTHURIUM DICK II. 
fMONG the new plants offered for the first time this year is the above named 
Anthurium, named in honor of one of our most worthy Florists, John Dick, 
of Philadelphia. The leaves are long, stiff and supported their entire length 
by a very strong and large mid-rib. The flowers have a charming fragrance, 
similar to that of Magnolia Conspicua, only more delicate. The centre of the 
flower is of a magenta color and margined with creamy white, while the 
back is a delicate pink color. As Mr. Dick’s stock is quite limited, only those who 
apply soon will have the good fortune to secure a specimen.
