Set of the above Ficus Radicans Variegata This charming and effective variety of Ficus Radicans is without doubt destined to become 'a plant for every- one,' its easy culture, effective variegation and regular growth making it one of the best ornamental variegated plants ever sent out. The elegant appearance of this pretty plant and its effective variegation is most striking, the leaves being freely and irregularly margined with white, the variegation sometimes extending to nearly the entire leaf, some of the young shoots and leaves being wholly white. As a variegated plant for a hanging pot or vase it cannot be excelled, while its bright and cheer- ful variegation will commend it to everyone as an ideal plant for the margins of stages and growing as single plants round sticks or on a trellis. It was unanimously awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. (Introducer's de- scription. ) We offer good small plants in 3-inch pots, $ each.

Habit and foliage very good. 35
