Color pure w' lemon-tinged throat, and of lovely fragrance. Flowers keep two weeks after being cut. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts,; 7 for »L S^NSEVIERA ZEALANICA.—Too much cannot be said in favor of this as a decorative pot plant. There are none so beautiful in foliage, and few that will stand neglect so well as it; it laughs at ill treatment and neglect; thrives without water; gas or dust does not affect it; it is always clean and beautiful. Has long, leathery, sword-like leaves, elegantly marked with bars of silvery gray an immense feathery flower; spikes shoot up from the centre of th plant, which emits a delightful fragrance; grand in every way. 12 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.
