Panax plumatum. OLEAfragrans.*S DE. Tea, or Sweet Olive. One of the most desirable flowering shrubs of southern gardens. The white flowers, although small, are produced in clusters, and emit the most pleasing fragrance. It is well said that " each individual bloom has more sweetness than the most fragrant lily." As a conservatory shrub for northern florists, it will be found invaluable and of ready sale. The blooming period be- gins in the fall, and lasts for several months. It is of easy culture, and especially desirable as a window plant. Fine plants, flowering sizes, 25 cts. and 40 cts. each. OPUNTIA tuna.**S. Tuna Cactus, a giant " Prickly Pear," with intensely rich pur- plish red fruits. Fruit is used for adding color to various jellies. The Cactus itself, after having the spines singed ofl", is fed to cattle in dry parts of Mexico and elsewhere. Yellow flowers, 3 inches across, are ver)' pretty. Strong cuttings, 15 cts. each. O. vulgaris. *S. Common Prickly Pear. Hardy well up into the middle states. A low- growing, very spiny species, with gorgeous 3'ellow flowers of satiny texture. Strong cut- tings, 10 cts. each. ORCHIDS. See Epidendrum and Phaius, in this department. Other sorts we have given up. OXYANTHUS Natalensis. * * * S E. A highly ornamental shrub, related to Gardenia, bearing large, elegant flowers in racemes. Leaves are pointed, elliptic and evergreen. Introduced from tropical Africa. 50 cts. each. PANAX.* * * S D E. This genus of extremely- ornamental tropical foliage plants is only slightly removed from Aralia. Some of the species are valuable economic plants, like ginseng, etc. P. excelsum. Very finely cut, ferny leaves (decompound), somewhat like Aralia Jilicifolia, margined with white. 25 cts., 50 cts. and 75 cts. each. (See illustration, on back cover.) P. plumatum. Plumy foliage, somewhat after the style of preceding, but green only. A very choice sort for house decoration; of easy growth. Any good soil will answer. This, as with other species, is not particular as to soil or exposure to sun. Full sunshine or partial shade will do for all. One of our %i sepcimens is here reproduced from a photograph. Elegant decorative specimens, 40 cts. each. Larger, 75 cts. and $1 each. P. Victoriee. A splendid, dwarf, finely com- pound species, wnth elegant variegations of white. 50 cts. each. (See illustration, on back cover.) P. sp. with yellow variegation. Much like Victoriae, but a rich creamy yellow instead of white. 40 cts. each. PANCRATIUM (Hymenocallis). * S D E. Among the handsomest flowering bulbs of the Amaryllis family, and all too little appreciated, though they are beginning to be grown more than they were, as people find out their beauties. Widely advertised the past years. Suitable for pot-growing, and should be in every conservatory. All delightfully scented. P. Carlbbaeum. Spider Lily, Spanish Lily. West Indies, extreme South Florida. A bulb of easiest culture, producing large clusters of fragrant tlow^ers, a few plants giving a succession of bloom all summer. Color pure white. Introduced by us for the first time to the plant growers of America and Europe. A truly magnificent flowering plant, with wide, evergreen leaves. 10 cts. each, 85 cts. per doz. Very large, 15 cts. to 20 cts. each. P. fragrans. A good grower; narrow leaves and large flowers of finest vanilla fragrance. Rare and new. 40 cts. each. P. littorale. This form was recently discovered and sent to Berlin by one of the German military expeditions "in Darkest Africa," and is superior, both in vigor and size of flower, to the South American type of P. littorale, which resembles P. Caribbcsum. Large flowers, and very showy grower; choice, 50 cts. each.
