ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. 
Cryptomeria Japonica. In this species of Cryptomeria we have a most dainty 
and handsome jardiniere plant for house culture and decoration. It is a plant that 
has all the beauty of the Araucaria Ex- 
celsa or Norfolk Island Pine (for which 
it is often mistaken) but of drooping and 
more graceful habit. It also has the 
happy faculty of successfully withstand- 
ing the trying atmosphere of living 
rooms, and thriving where many plants 
will not succeed. Foliage a beautiful 
shade of light green. Said to be hardy 
in open ground south of Philadelphia. 
(See cut.) Price 30 dls. and 50 As. 
Araucaria Excelsa (Norfolk Island 
Pine). As a decorative plant this is one 
of the handsomest and most serviceable. 
Its deep green, feathery foliage arranged 
in whorls, rising one above the other at 
regular distances, forms a plant of rare 
grace and beauty. This is also called the 
“Monkey Puzzle Tree.” These cannot 
be sent by mail. 
Price $1.00 and $^.oo each. 
Grevillea Robusta. A magnificent 
plant for decorative purposes, of rapid, 
easy growth, finely cut foliage, rivaling a rare fern. The young growths are a light 
bronze color, the tips being covered with a soft down closely resembling raw silk, 
hence the name of “ Silk Oak.” Price 15 and 75 As. 
Maranta Zebrina. A very beautiful foliage plant, fine glossy leaves of bright 
green. Elegantly blotched with a dark bronze green. A plant of remarkable beauty. 
(See cut.) Price 50 As. and $1.00.

from France has fcliage elegantly variegated in 
yellow, white and pink, on a tender shade of green ; 
white flowers ; strong and free-growing. A fine 
new foliage plant, besides quite handsome flowers. 
Very desirable. Price 20 As. 
Dracaena Indivisa (Dragon Tree). One of 
the most desirable of our ornamental foliage 
plants for decoration, either in or out doors. Its 
fine foliage renders it very useful for the window 
garden, planted as a center piece in a rustic stand, 
jardiniere, or window box, or for summer decora- 
tion in vases and ornamental beds ; also especially 
well adapted for centers of vases and baskets.
