(Parrot's Feather.) This novelty we offer on account of the ex- quisite beauty of its foliage. It prefers shal- low water, sending its stems creeping along on the surface, forming a mass of lovely soft green color. The leaves are arranged in whorls along the stem, and are as finely divided as the most delicate fern. The ends of these creeping stems stand erect, forming beautiful tufts or tassels. The plant is hardy if the stems lie in deep water. It can be easily kept in a pan or tnb, placed in a cool greenhouse, where it forms a very pretty ob- ject in winter. It might also be grown in a water-tight hanging basket, with a pretty ef- fect as a parlor or house ornament. 25 cents each. LIMNAIMTHEMUM INDICUIVJ. {Water Snozvflake.) In this exquisite novelty the famous chrys- anthemum, "Mrs. Alpheus Hardy," has a rival in miniature. It has attracted the ad- miration and wonder of every visitor the past season. In growth, the plant resembles a water lily, with leaves from three to five inches across. The flowers are produced upon the stem of the leaf, and are about as large as a fifty-cent piece, as shown in the engraving. They are white, and the upper surface of the petals is covered with a delicate fringe, giving them the appearance of crystal, star-shaped snow- flakes. They are produced freely the whole season. It may be cultivated in the same manner as the tender water lilies, either in a water garden or a tub, and should be wintered in a greenhouse or cellar. $1 each. HEDYCHIUM CORONARIUM.
