FICUS KI.ASTICA. 
DOUBLE WHITE DAISY, 
SNOW CREST. 
A most distinct variety, and an improve- 
ment on all existing sorts. Its habit of 
growth and size of flowers, in compari- 
son with older varieties, is gigantic. The 
flowers, which are borne on stout, stiff 
stems from 6 to 10 inches long, are of the 
purest white and full to the center. When 
fully developed they rise to a conical or 
sugar-loaf form, and well-grown speci- 
mens will cover a silver dollar. It makes 
an admirable hardy garden plant, or may 
be forced for cut-flowers under the same 
treatment as violets. 10c. each, $1 per doz. 
ECHEVERIA SECUNDA 
GLAUCA. 
A class of plants with fleshy leaves of a 
metallic hue, well adapted for dry, sunny 
situations, and should be more exten- 
sively used ; combined with alteman- 
theras and other low-growing plants, it 
makes a fine showing. 15 cts. each, 
$1.50 per doz. u ~ 
FICUS. 
Elastica. The well-known India- 
rubber Tree ; one of the very best plants 
for table or parlor decoration. Its thick, 
leathery leaves enable it to stand ex- 
cessive heat and dryness, while its deep, 
glossy green color always presents a 
cheerful aspect. Fine plants, 50 cts., 
75 cts. and each. 
Ficus elastica variegata. This is un- 
doubtedly one of the finest decorative 
ornamental foliage plants of late introduc- 
tion. In habit and growth it is like the 
ordinary F. elastica, but the leaves of this 
novel plant have a pleasing yellow varie- 
gation throughout. In every respect a 
most charming plant. Fine plants, $1 
to $1.50 each.
