‘ | 'HE below-named are all well-known tested 
varieties of the leading plants that are 
used for “carpet bedding,” “massing,” “rib¬ 
bon line” planting or general bedding. We 
grow immense quantities of this class of 
stock, and we are in a position to execute 
the largest orders in a prompt, satisfactory 
manner. 
A NEW semi-double forr 
to be a cross between this beautiful variety and A. Japonica Rosea, 
n general style and habit it is identical with the white Anemone. It is of 
the same strong habit of growth, and is even more free-flowering than the 
onginal type. I lie flowers, which are 2)4 to 3 inches across, have several 
pu . le white petals, and have the advantage of lasting much longer 
ban the single varieties. We consider this a good acquisition, and cannot 
recommend it too highly. (See cut.) Price, 25c. each, 5 for $1.00. (For other 
Anemones see list of hardy herbaceous plants, page 156.) 
Araucaria excelsa. 
AllIOUS names have been suggested for this grand plant to properly 
convey to the mind the appearance of it. Some have called it the 
“ Christmas Tree Palm” from its re¬ 
semblance to a Christmas tree ; others 
have called it the “ Star Palm,” be¬ 
cause tlie leaves are arranged to form 
a perfect star, but no descriptive name 
can give any adequate idea of its 
beauty. It has deep green, feathery 
foliage, arranged in whorls, rising one 
above the other at regular distances; 
its symmetry of form, grace and 
beauty of foliage are unequaled in the 
vegetable kingdom. It is easily grown 
in the house and is highly ornamental.
