Dracaena Rothiana. 
Dracaena Rothiana. Not a new but rare plant of which great 
merit of extreme hardiness has only now been discovered. As the 
plate shows it is of a compact growth with thick leathery foliage, 
green with narrow white margin. One of the best decorative plants 
for home, greenhouse or out-of-doors in the summer. Price, strong 
plants, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. Extra large, $2.SO each. 
Dracaena Bronze Beauty. (Manda) Another of my raising; a 
very hardy variety with broad foliage of bronze color, while the centre 
leaves have a beautiful combination of pink and red which brightens 
the plant very much. Strong plants, $ 1.00 each, extra strong $2.50 each. 
Dracaena Black Beauty Improved. (Manda) A grand plant' with 
long and broad arching leaves of rich red color, the centre leaves 
being bright pink. A very large growing plant. Awarded First Prize 
Silver Medal at Chicago for the best Foliage Plant. Strong Plants, 
$1.50 each, specimens $3.50 to $5.00 each. 
Dracaena Gracilis. Old but good; a plant that should be exten¬ 
sively grown, as it can be used in small stages for centres of Fern 
dishes, later on for vases and other decorative work when large. 
As the name implies the habit is very graceful, the leaves are narrow 
dark bronze green, very hardy and beautiful. Nice plants, 25c. each, 
$2.50 per dozen. Larger, 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen. 
Begonia Bowringeana. Catalogued by me formerly as “Sp. 
China.” An upright variety growing one to two- ft. in height and 
having large, beautiful velvety leaves. The markings of these are 
exceptionally fine, the body of the leaf is a rich, dark velvety green 
with bright, silvery zones. The midrib and veins are a dark, rich 
crimson. Price, 50c. each, $5.00 per dozen.
