A very pretty new fancy show variety that combines all the shades found in apple blossoms, from red, pink and carmine to pure white. The first flowers are deep red-pink and carmine, but as the season advances they gradually open lighter until they become pure white. 25 cts. each. Little Beauty. One of the most beautiful double pompone Dahlias ever offered, a perfect shaped flower of a lovely soft pink color and an early continuous and free bloomer. 35 cts. each. DRACiENA GODSEFFIANA. Undoubtedly one of the most striking new ornamental foliage plants of recent introduction. As shown in the illustration, the plant is of an entirely different habit and appearance from all other Dracaenas ; it is of free-branch- ing habit, and throws out many suckers from the base so as to form beautiful, compact, graceful specimens in a very short time. Its foliage is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 inches wide ; of a strong leathery tex- ture ; rich dark green color, densely marked with irregu- lar dots and spots of a creamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of which the markings in the foliage strikingly remind one. The i'.lustration gives but a faint idea of its striking beauty ; it is a plant which will undoubt- edly be grown very extensively for decorative purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy as a house plant, equaling if not surpassing in this respect the Aspidistra and Ficus.
