Sanseviera Zeylanica. 
stamens, each cluster measuring 15 inches in circum- 
ference, and often attaining a length of 12 inches. The 
flowers are succeeded by bright scarlet berries, which 
remain perfect for a long time. It is the most beautiful 
flowerintr vine that we have seen. 15 cts. 
. JXasmtnoldes grandiflora. A beautiful new plant, 
which inclines to a trailing or climbing habit ; it never 
grows higher than from 3 to 5 feet, and can be pinched 
back to a bush form. Its flowers are star-shaped, in 
enormous panicles often a foot across, pure white, with 
a violet tinge on the back of petals and buds. In pots 
this is a fine bloomer, both for summer and winter ; 
but when trained against an outdoor wall or trellis, 
and showing hundreds of magnificent bloom panicles 
it is superb. 10 cts. , the 2 for 20 cts. 
Strobilanlbe a Dyerianua. 
Swainsonia galegifolia alba. 
SWA1NSONIA GALEGIFOLIA ALBA. 
A most desirable everblooming plant, with pure 
white flowers, produced in sprays of from 12 to 20 
flowers each, the individual blooms resembling a sweet 
pea. As a decorative plant for the window or conser- 
vatory we know of nothing that will give as much satis- 
faction as the Swainsonia. Its easy culture, its free- 
dom of bloom, and the beauty of the flower and plant 
will undoubtedly make this a most popular plant. 
10 cts. each, 3 for 25 cts. 
STROBILANTHES dyerianus. 
This plant will undoubtedly become universally 
popular on account of its brilliant and exquisite color- 
ing, its extraordinarily easy growth and usefulness as 
a decorative plant. The long racemes of lovely violet 
blossoms with which the plant is covered in midwinter 
greatly enhance its value, beauty and usefulness. The 
undulation on the surface of the foliage is furnished 
with a bluish metalic hue, shading into light rose, with 
a light green margin. It will prove a valuable acquisi- 
tion. 10 cents each, 15 for $1. 
SANSEVIERA ZEYLANICA. 
Splendidly adapted for the decoration of drawing- 
rooms and halls, as it stands drouth and dust with 
impunity, and needs scarcely any water. The leaves 
grow to a length of 3 or 4 feet, striped crosswise, with 
broad white variegations on a dark green ground. It 
is a beautiful plant, which should be abundantly grown 
for positions out of the reach of sunlight, where other 
plants will not thrive. For vases and baskets it forms 
a fine center piece, and grows and thrives outdoors 
during summer. Fine plants, 20 cts. 
Japanese Wineberry plants are worth $1 per dozen, 10 cts. each.
