Dracaena Godseffiana. Undoubtedly one of the most striking new ornamentalfoliage plants of recent introduction. The plant is of anentirely different habit and appearance from all otherDracaenas ; it is of free-branching habit, and throws outmany suckers from the base so as to form beautiful, com-pact, graceful specimens in a very short time. Its foliageis broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches long, and 2 to 3 incheswide ; of a strong leathery texture ; rich dark green color,densely marked with irregular dots and spots of a creamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of which the mark-ings in the foliage strikingly remind one. It is a plantwhich will undoubtedly be grown very extensively for dec-orative purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it isvery hardy as a house plant, equaling, if not surpassing inthis respect, the Aspidistra and Ficus. 2£ inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.3 3.50 25.00 Dracaena Sanderiana. 3 inch pots, $3.00 per dozen.
