PANDANUS UTILIS. 
(Screw Pine.) 
One of the most noble, beautiful and 
useful decorative plants that can be 
grown. For majesty of form and grace¬ 
fully arranged foliage it is almost without 
an equal, while its vigorous constitution 
enables it to stand more neglect, without 
serious injury, than almost any other 
plant we know of. Whether in the win¬ 
dow garden, the center of a vase, or 
hanging basket, or among the piazza 
plants in summer, it fills a place for 
which it seems especially adapted. The 
sharply serrated edges of the leaves 
are bright red and the body of the leaf 
green, glistening in the sunlight and 
rendering it unusually attractive. A plant 
which will delight everybody. Each 50c 
to $2.00. 
Pandanus Yeitchii. (See cut.) Is 
even more attractive than the foregoing. 
The leaves are light green, beautifully 
marked with broad stripes and bands of pure white and most gracefully curved.' No collection of 
decorative plants should be without this magnificent variety. Each 75c to $2.50. 
Pandanus Yeitchii.
