We are glad to be able to offer the true Shamrock, as so many spurious plants have been called Shamrock and sold as such. This stock is genuine and thoroughly acclimated, having been grown here several years. A very beautiful pot plant with dark chocolate and green foliage. Each stem with 4 to 5 leaves, like 4-leaf clover. A lovely foliage plant that attracts great attention. 20c. each; 3 for 50e. Sai^seVeria £ealai)ica. There is scarcely a decorative plant listed that is more striking in foliage and habit than this, and certainly none other that will stand as much downright neglect and hardship. It will grow in a dark haft, a cool bedroom, or stand on the mantle in a heated sitting-room. It will stand gas and dust, and will go for months without a drop of water, yet re- main as thrifty as ever. Singular- ly beautiful, as well as easily grown. Erect, ridged, sword-like leaves, reaching a length of from four to six feet. The leaves are thick and fleshy, dark green color, with clouded bars of white. In May or June it sends up long, plumy flower spikes of soft feath- ery whiteness. Just the plant for sunless windows or halls, where nothing else will grow. 20e. each; 3 for 50c,.
