. Rare Florida flowers and fruits. Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Shrubs Catalogs. SOLANTJM on the walls perfectly dr~y for two weeks. It has practically super- seded the Smilax among fioral decorators, and in the short time since its introduction has attain- ed a greater degree of popularity than was enjoyed by that old favorite in its palmiest days. It succeeds perfectly as a house plant and everybody should grow it. Nice plants, only 15c. each; larger and very fine, 30c. each. Plumosus Nanus—An ele- gant dwarf Asrparagm with stems tufted. The leaves or plumes are very dark green, as finely woven as the finest silken mesh, and flat inform i'ke a Fem-frond. It is one of the handsomest and most delicate appearing of all foliage plants, surpassing Maiden Hair Ferns in grace, fineness of texture and richness of color. Yet in spite of its filmy, delicate appearance it is a sturdy, dust and gas-proof plant which will flourish in any apartment. Cut sprays retain their freshness in water for three or four weeks and for "bouquet green" its mazy fronds are sim- ply exquisite. If kept in a starved state it will assume a dwarf form 8 inches to a foot high and well furnished with feathery growth. But give it rich soil and root room and it assumes a climb- ing habit, clinging to strings or other support like Smilax. Trained on a globe-shaped trellis, as shown in the cut, it will form an object of exquisite beauty which must be seen to be appreci- ated. Nice plants, 15c. each; larger and very fine, 30c.
