S^NSEVIERA ZEALANICA.— Too much cannot be said
in favor of this as a decorative pot plant. There are none
so beautiful in foliage, and few that will stand neglect so
well as it ; it laughs at ill treatment and neglect ; thrives
without water ; gas or dust does not affect it ; it is always
clean and beautiful. Has long, leathery, sword-like leaves,
elegantly marked with bars of silvery gray an immense
feathery flower; spikes shoot up from the centre of th
plant, which emits a delightful fragrance ; grand in every
way. 12 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.
THE MANETTIA VINE.— In order to get the most suc-
cessful results from this lovely vine allow the roots to be-
come pot-bouni. This causes the plant to bloom profusely
when it is quite small. Those who have seen this vine in
bloom will coincide with us that there is not another vine
prettier for window or pot culture, and when grown to per
fection is exceedingly beautiful. Beyond the one point
given above, it thrives for all with small care ; the lovely
wreaths and garlands of brilliant scarlet and orange-col-
ored flowers, interspersed with bright, oblong foliage
present a striking contrast. 15 cts. each ; 4 for 50 cts.
GARDENIA FLORIDA, CAPE JESSAMINE. —Well
known and popular ; blooms pure white, large, very fra-
grant. Splendid for pot culture. 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50cts.

doubt the most beautiful-leaved climbing plant now
known. The leaves are long, heart-shaped and as hand-
somely marbled and mottled as a Begonia Rex ; the under
side is a transparent wine red ; entitled to be called su-
perbly beautiful. Grows remarkably quick and makes
immense quantities of foliage. For trailing over the side
of a window box, or for hanging basket, or grown on a
trellis in pots, it is one of the most useful and beautiful
plants. Likes heat and a little manure water now and
then. Strong plants, 15 cts. each; 4 for 50 cts.; 9 for Si
