DREER, PHILADELPHIA—DECORATIVE PLANTS ASPARAGUS. Pluitiosus Nanus {Asparagus Fern). If there is a better plant for table decoration than this we do not know it. The foliage is more deli- cate than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its filminess. A plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green, among which the stems of a few flowers can be thrust in such a manner as to make the combination far superior artistically, to most expensive decorations pre- pared for the table by the professional florist. and 25 cts. each; $ and 12,50 per doz. Sprengeri (Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging baskets, for bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants for the window-box when planted on the outside, where it can droop over the edge of the box. 15 cts. and 25 cts. each; $ and $ per doz. ASPIDISTRA. The Aspidistra is the easiest of all decorative plants to grow well. Give it a loamy soil and plenty of water and it will ask for nothing more. A useful plant for the veranda in summer and for hardiness has no equal as a house plant at any season; it will succeed even in a compar- atively dark hall where few other plants would live. Lurida. Green-leaved, 60 cts., 75 cts. and $ each. Lurida Variegata. A pretty varie- gated form, the foliage being striped with white. 75 cts. and $ each. *EA. Sanderiana This beautiful free-flowering variety is very popular, especially as a plant for Easter. Its brillant rosy-crim- son blossoms are produced from early in March until midsummer; in fact, a plant will frequently flower the greater part of the year. 25 cts. and 50 cts.
