The Spotted Calla, as it is commonly known, is very effective when planted out in the summer near the lily pond. Price 25 cents each. CYPEHUS ALTERNIFOLIUS. Another well-known greenhouse plant, which is really an aquatic or bog grass. Planted out near the margin of the tank, or in pots submerged in the tank, it makes large growth, and is very ornamental and useful for cutting. Price 15 and 25 cents each. CYPERUS PAPYRUS-PAPYRUS ANTI- QUORUM, (The Egyptian Paper Plant). A most remarkable aquatic plant; a species of reed which was employed by the Egyptians in early times for making paper. It has large, tortuous roots, a tri- angular stem, several feet in height, gradually tapering to the top, surrounded by a tuft of fine hbrous fila- ments, which sub-divide into still smaller, on which are the small seedy florets; it grows chiefly in marshy places and on the banks of rivers, in rich alluvial soil or mud, after the style of our native Cat-tail Flag. It is a very ornamental plant in the greenhouse, and does equally well planted in the sub-tropical garden as Cannas are, but is indispensable where Water-Lilies are grown. Price 25 and 50 cents each. CYPERUS NATALENSIS. An ornamental species, large pandanus-like foli- age; an elegant specimen plant. Price 15 and 25 cents each. CYPERUS PUNGENS. This is very similar to C. Alternifolius, but is a deep green color, and grows taller, and is much stiffer; requires to be planted in rich soil. Price 20 cents each. CYPERUS STRICTUS. A strong growing variety and quite distinct. The flowers are borne on strong triangular stalks, and appear very similar to Papyrus when in young state. Price 20 cents each. May oth, 1804.
