Summary[edit]

Description

DREER'S WHOLESALE PRICE LIST.
GodseflQana. I'ndoubtedly one of the most striking
new ornamental Ibliagie plants of recent introduction.
The plant is of an entirely ditiferent haV)it and appearance
from all other Dracaenas ; it is of free-branching habit,
and throws out many suckers from the base so as to form
beautiful compact, graceful specimens in a very short
time. Its foliage is broadly lanceolate, 5 to 6 inches
long, and 2 to 3 inches wide ; 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 markings in the
foliage strikingly remind one. It is a plant which will
undoubtedly be grown very extensively for decorative
purposes when it becomes more plentiful, as it is very
hardy as a house plant, equaling, if not surpassing in
this respect, the Aspidistra and Ficus.
2j inch pots, $0 35 each ; $ 3 50 per dozen.
5 " " 2 50 " 30 00 " "

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
