A PURE WHITE ALSTRCEMERIA. 
ALSTBCEMERIA PEBEGRINA ALBA— Very few persons know this class of plant, 
and but very little has been said respecting them, yet there is not another plant that can rival them 
for cut flowers and beautiful appearance. They are easily grown ns pot plants, and may be 
had in bloom for months by successional treatment, flowering most profusely, and everyone i 
charmed with a bunch. The above is a pure white variety, and possesses the same advantages for 
cut purposes and pot culture— in fact, ns a pot plant it is of first-class utility and impor.auce. It is 
one of the best old-fashioned plants that has been brought forward for many years, ® 
for conservatorv or greenhouse decoration. Awarded a First-Class Certificate at the lemple
