DRACAENA CODSEFFIANA. 
Undoubtedly one of the most striking new ornamental foliage plants of recent 
introduction. The plant is of an entirely different habit and appearance from all other 
Dracienas ; it is of free-branching habit, and throws out many suckers from the base 
so as to form beautiful, compact, graceful specimens in a very short time. Its foliage 
is broadly lanceolate, five to six inches long, and two to three inches wide; of a 
strong, leathery texture ; rich dark green color, densely marked with irregular dots 
and spots of a creamy white. It is a plant which will undoubtedly be grown very ex- 
tensiwly for decorative purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy 
as a house plant, equaling if not surpassing in this respect the Aspidistra and Ficus.

ALTHEA. 
Joan of Arc (new). Or double flower- 
ing Rose of Sharon. It begins to bloom 
almost as soon as planted, and every leaf 
brings forth pure white double flowers, 
frequently nine inches round, which are 
mistaken by many for glorious Camellias. 
These chaste flowers are borne during 
the entire season, and even during winter, 
if the plant is taken up or potted, there- 
by ornamenting both the garden and the 
house. As a pot plant, it is most at- 
tractive and desirable, and as a shrub in 
open ground it is hardy as other varieties, 
and the finest flower yet seen. (See 
cut.) Price 30 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, $1.50 and $2.50 each. 
TROPAEOLUM PHOEBE. 
A most attractive and deliciously scented variety, producing flowers throughout 
the winter and summer season, of a deep golden yellow, with a rich crimson-feathered 
blotch in each segment, outer edges notched or scalloped, the whole forming into an 
exquisitely shaped blossom. A free, vigorous grower. When in the height of its 
perfection, strings of growth eight to ten feet long, resplendent with its parti-colored 
flowers, can be cut for decoration. This new fancy Nasturtium is fine for anj' purpose 
where this class of plants can be used. Price 25 6ls. 
PENTAS LANCEOLATA. 
A pretty half-shrubby greenhouse plant, not unlike a Bouvardia in general habit 
and appearance, but flowering much more profusely and continuously. It may be 
planted in the open border during the summer, but it is valuable chiefly as a winter 
flowering pot plant for the window or conservatory, for which purpose it is especially 
well suited, being in flower all the time. The pure white flowers are produced in flat
