Popular plants for bedding and for cutting. We can supply the six distinct and beautiful varieties offered and described on page 65. 15 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. ASPARAGUS Plumosus Nanus (Asparagus Fern). If there is a better plant for table decoration than this we do not know it. The foliage is more delicate than that of the finest Fern, being lace-like in its filminess. A plant with half a dozen stalks is a mass of dainty, misty green, among which the stems of a few flowers can be thrust in such a manner as to make a pretty decoration for the table. 25 cts. an<l 50 cts. each; $ and $ per doz. Sprengeri {Emerald Feather). Excellent for hanging- baskets, for bracket use and for cutting. It is one of the best of all plants for the windowrbox when planted on the outside, where it can droop over the edge of the box. 25 cts. and 50 cts. each; $ and $ per doz. Scandens DeflextlS. A comparatively scarce variety, similar in habit of growth to Sprengeri, but with finer, lighter green foliage. May be used for the same purposes as Spren- geri, and is particularly nice when grown as an individual specimen plant. 50 cts. each. (135)
