PRINCE OF WALES. 
This is an exceedingly handsome variety of this new and popular class of Pelargoniums. It is of 
excellent habit, very free blooming, and produces good trusses of large effective flowers ; they are not 
really double, but from their fulness of form and extra number of petals, which are prettily undulated, 
they have the appearance of being so. The colour is a bright vermilion with light centre and light 
edge to the petals, the superior ones being marked with light crimson and darkly blotched. 1 guinea.

DRACAENA GOLDIEANA. 
TO BE SENT OUT IN 1878. 
One of the most magnificent ornamontal-foliaged plants ever introduced, and altogether unique in 
character and aspect. It is a native of Western Tropical Africa. The plant is of erect habit, and the 
stems are closely set with stalked spreading leaves, the petioles of which are of a grayish colour, terete 
with a narrow furrow along the upper side, the base being dilated and sheathing the stem. The blade 
of the leaf is cordate-ovate acuminate, with a yellowish-green costa, and banded with dark green and 
silver-gray in alternate straight or fimcato bands, the colours being about equally distributed. The 
back of the unrolled leaves is a pale reddish-purprle or wine-colour, aird the stem where visible at the 
upper joints is of similar hue, the lower parts becoming green. It is, rvithout doubt, one of the 
finest of all stove plants, and indispensable in all first-class collections. For illustration, vide page
