Furcraca. Ai I i 
A new plant which grows from a bulb, as shown in cut. 
It has lovely Dracuena-llkefoliage and is as ornamental asa 
fine Palm, growing in time to great size and sending up 
flower stems ten feet high with hundreds of Tuberose-like 
blossoms. A most beautiful pot plant. 25c. each; 3 for HOc 
Eletteria (Tmlainoinoin. ^ 
A plant little known and hardly in cultivation in this 
country, but one of great beauty and usefulness. The leaves 
have a highly aromatic fragrance, which is very fine, es- vb?\ ^ws-y yni| 
pecially for scenting clothes or working into bouquets or WH 
vases of flowers. The seeds arc also highly aromatic, and 
when taken in the month have a pleasant taste and add a 
delicious fragrance to the breath. For this purpose I hey arc 
often sold at high prices. The foliage of the plan! is in itself 
highly ornamental, to say nothing of its fragrance, but 
when in bloom it Is indeed charming. It blooms during the 
fall or early winter. Flowers white, borne in spikes, and 
closely resembling some of the most beautiful Orchids, and f 
last for weeks before fading. 30c. each : 3 for 50o. Jp?
