New Asparagus Sprengeri. BEGONIA. Semperflorens Elegantissima Alba. One of the finest introductions of late years ; no other white Begonia can approach it; the flower is large, pure glistening white, and is doubly valuable from the fact that it is borne on long stems. A fine free grower, and the foliage is nearly hid- den under the profusion of snowy flowers. 50 cts. each. Carex Japonica Variegata. An exquisitely graceful new Japanese grass with slender green foliage edged with white. It is extremely easy to grow and makes a most excellent plant for house culture as well as for the garden where it is said to be quite hardy. 20 cts. each, 6 for $ Dracaena Sanderiana. A new and entirely distinct species and one of the finest novelties introduced for years. It has thick textured narrow leaves which are closely set on slender upright stems variegated with silvery white and green bands alternating and of various widths, the whole surface of the plant being covered with a silvery sheen of bloom. It is altogether different from any- thing heretofore known in the way of Dracaenas. $ each. Bougainvillea Glabra Sanderiana. It affords us great pleasure to offer this new and most useful flowering plant known. We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a green house where it has continued flowering for seven months, small and large plants alike being covered with blossoms. Even plants in thumb pots* were laden with bloom. The house in which our plants have been cultivated has been a sheet of flowers from May until December. Many excellent judges state that this will be a favorite market plant as it produces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crimson flowers, lasting so long in perfection and produced in smallest pots under all conditions, in amazing profusion. 50 cts. each.
