Descriptive catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees, evergreens, grape vines, shrubs, bulbs, etc. descriptivecatal1889stor Year: 1889 78 THE STORES A HARBISOX CO.'S CATALOGUE Eulaiia. JAPOMCA —A hardy perennial from Japan, \xiih. long, narrow leaves striped with green and white, throving• tip stalks fotir to six feet high, terminating with a cluster of hower spikes on which the individual flowers are ar- ranged : the flowers are surround- ed vith long, silky threads, which. when fully ripe, or when placed in a warm room, expand, giving the whole head a most graceful and beautiful appearance, not tmlike that of an ostrich feather ' curled. These dried flowers are valuable as parlor ornaments, as 'they retain their beatity a long time. JAPOXICA ZEBRIXA—This is one of the most striking and distinct plants in cultivation. 1 nlike most plants with variegated foli- age, the striping or marking is across the leaves instead of longi- tudinally, the leaves being striped every two or three inches by a band of yellow one-half inch wide. Late in the fall it is cov- ered with flower spikes, that re- semble ostrich plumes in shape, which, when cut and dried, make ii and some ornaments for the liouse in Avinter. It is perfectly hardy and when once planted, will increase in beauty from year g to year. Should be in every col- Itrction. Helianthus Multiflorus Plenus.
