Price 15c. each. Spanish Dagger, or Yucca Aloifolia. One of the most imposing and tropical-appear- ing plants with which we are acqviainted, and it will stand any amount of neglect except too severe freezing; but is hardy as far north as South Carolina. It is always ornamental from its smallest size until it becomes an imposing speci- men. Leaves very dark green, stiff and pointed, forming a fine head. Begins blooming while quite small, producing an immense head of creamy, bell-shaped flowers, followed by Banana-like fruits. As a decorative plant it cannot be sur- \ as sed, being fully as desirable as the finest Palms, and even more striking in appearance. We can furnish the canes or trunks in lengths from one to two and one-half feet. These are old plants as large round as a man's wrist, or larger, and stripped of their leaves. Every one of them will root at once on being potted, no matter if they have lain dry for months, and put out a fine head of leaves, soon forming a grana specimen which it would require years to produce from a small plant. \\ e have thrown a lot of the trunks on the ground, and let them lie exposed to the burn- ing sun for six months: then stripped off the dead leaves, dug holes and planted them like fence posts, and without a pirticle of further care they every one rooted quickly and grew off vigorously.
