Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Tropical crops Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Trees Seedlings Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. EUCHARIS FARFUGIUM GRANDE. EUPHORBIA. E. Havauensis. A cactus-like plant with three- sided stems, mottled and marbled with white on a dark green ground. A very handsome de- corative plant, and valuable in collect ions of Cacti, although not a true cac- tus. We saw specimens i n Key West 20 feet in height, with stems 12 inches in di- ameter. From the abundance of milky juice in this plant, it would probably yield consider- able of the drug Euphorbiuni, which is made princi- pally from a closely allied species—E. resinifera—a plant indigenous to Morocco. 50 cents each ; large specimen plants, $1 to $5. E. moiistrosa. A "sport" from the preceding, the stems of which are wrinkled and compressed in flat coxcomb-like shapes. It is a strange, odd looking plant, and the form is very rare. $3 each. E. heterophylla. Hypocrite. There are two forms of this, both native ; pretty red bracts. 10 cts. E. pulcherrima (Pomsettia piilcherrivia). A well known greenhouse plant, native of Mexico, grown for the scarlet bracts which surround its flow- ers, which are freely produced in winter, and which remain bright for months at a time. 50 cents each. E. splendeiis. A thorny shrub from Mauritius, well known in greenhouse cultivation ; its showy flower-like bracts are bright scarlet; succeeds well here in the open ground. 25 cents each. FARFUGIUM GRANDE. A handsome plant with large, round, dark green leaves, spotted yellow. Succeeds best in a partially shaded situation ; is popular and successful as a house plant. 25 cents each. FOURCROYA CUBENSIS. A very handsome decorative plant, resembling some species of Agaves. Will be found very useful for centers of large
