Limnocharis Plumieri, An erect growing plant, standing 1 to 2 feet out of the water, with elliptical leaves 4 to 6 inches long, and of a rich velvety green. Flowers straw color. 25 cts. each ; $2 50 per doz. Myriophyllum Proserpina = COides {Parrot's Feather). Long, trailing stems, clothed with whorls of the most exquisite foliage, as finely cut as the leaves of the Cypress Vine, and much more delicate. Planted in a water-tight hanging-basket, so water can be kept standing on the surface, it will trail finely. (See cut.) 10 cts. each; $ per do^. Ouvirandra Fenestralis {Lace-leaf or Lattice-leaf Plant). The chief interest of this plant lies in the remarkable singularity of the leaves, which are of a dark, olive-green color, merely a network of vascular tissue, resembling lace, or a skeletonized leaf. A compost of good, rich soil, as recommended for water lilies, is, suitable for this plant. The pot or pan should be placed in a tub of water and kept clean and sweet, and from direct sunlight. (See cut.) Price, $2,50 each. Pistia Stratiotes {Water Lettuce). A very curious floating plant. It forms a rosette of light green velvety leaves, about 6 inches across; likes plenty of heat, and should be shaded from the direct rays of the sun. 15 cts. each ; $ per doz. Sagittaria flontevidiensis {Giant Arrowhead). Attains gigantic proportions, growing 4 to 5 feet high ; leaves 15 inches long; flower-scape towers above the foliage, bearing white flowers with dark blotch at base of each petal. 20 cts. each ; $ per doz.
