Oreocome Candollri. OREOCOME CANDOLLEI. The most beautiful decorative hardy perennial plant that has yet come to our notice. When we saw this plant growing in the open border the past Summer, we were at once struck with the elegant graceful beauty of its foliage, which in well-established plants grows from 24 to 30 inches long, is of a bright, fresh green color, and resembles the fronds of the beautiful Mexican Tree-Fem, Cibotinum Schiedei. The flower stems should be removed as fast as they appear, which develops the foliage to its full beauty ; the plant possesses a grace and elegance found in no other hardy plant. (See cut.) 75 cts. each. NEW GOLDEN YELLOW CALLA RICHARDIA ELLIOTTIANA. The first bulbs of this grand new variety were brought to England by Captain Elliott, from Central Africa, in 1892, and were sold at auction in London at fabulous prices, single bulbs bringing $ each. Since then the stock has been increased so slowlv that even during 1898 the price in England has been from $4:00 to $ each. We have been fortunate in securing a limited lot at a special advantageous price and are now in a position to offer good bulbs of the true variety at the low price of $ each. The plant has the same habit of growth as the ordinary White Calla, J?. Ethiopica, with flowers of the same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous golden-yellow color ; the foliage is dark green, with a number of translucent creamy-white spot
