ASPIDISTRA ELATIOR ANGUSTIFOLI A FOL. VARIEGATA. 
An effective variegated plant, with lanceolate dark green leaves, which are broadly rayed and 
striped with cream colour.

ASPIDISTRA ELATIOR MACROPH YLLA FOL. VARIEGATA. 
A similar plant to the preceding, but with broad foliage, which is exceedingly handsome and 
effective. Price 10s. 6 d. each. 
BERBERIS STENOPHYLLA. 
A very hardy hybrid between Darmrnii and cmpetrifolia. The flowers are of a fine apricot 
colour, and produced in racemes 8f from three to five together from the leaf axils, instead of singly, 
as in B. empetrifolia, of which this new shrub has something the character, but it is more vigorous. 
The flowers are succeeded by purple black berries, which, like the flowers, hang in racemes of 
from three to five from the leaf axils, and are about as large as currants. This hybrid makes shoots 
4 feet long in a season, is clothed in neat, narrow evergreen foliage, and adorned with a profusion 
of gay orange coloured blossoms in early summer. It is decidedly a great acquisition.
