Dracaena Qodseffiana. Undoubtedly one of the most striking new ornamental foliageplants of recent introduction. The plant is of an entirelydifferent habit and appearance from all other Dracaenas ; it is offree-branching habit, and throws out many suckers from the baseso as to form beautiful, compact, graceful specimens in a veryshort time. Its foliage is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches long,and 2 to 3 inches wide ; of a strong leathery texture ; rich darkgreen color, densely marked with irregular dots and spots of acreamy-white, not unlike an Aucuba Japonica, of w.hich themarkings in the foliage strikingly remind one. It is a plantwhich will undoubtedly be grown ver) e.xtensively for decorativepurposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very hardy as ahouse plant, equaling, if not surpassing in this respect, theA.spidistra and Ficus. 2j^ inch pots, $2 00 per doz.; $15 00 per 100. 3 3 50 25 00 5 1 50 each.
