Roots tuberous, white, elliptic, not densely clustered: sts. numerous, scarcely climbing. 6 ft. or less: side branches numerous, small, angled: twigs 1-3 in. long: cladodes 3-8, ½-1½ in. long, flat, linear, smooth, pointed, slightly falcate, rich green: lf.-scale on main st. with a .slender brown brittle spine 2 gin. long: fls. in May-June, in open racemes 1-3 in. long; pedicels 1-2 from each bract; fls. whitish pink, fragrant, perianth wide-spreading, ⅕ in.: berry slightly 3-lobed, 1-3- seeded, bright coral-red, up to ½ in. diam. Natal.—One of the most popular plants for cut- green, easily grown in a moderate temp. Plants in tubs or baskets are very ornamental when covered with the bright red berries which ripen about Christmas-time. Easily grown from seed, which germinates in a temperate house in about 4 weeks. The best asparagus for a house plant. Var. compactus, a dwarf variety seldom over 18 in. long. Var. variegatus, a form having variegated Lvs; otherwise like the type. Var. falcatoides, a large strong- growing form: phylloclades solitary to 5-6 more or less falcate. A. sarmentosus, Hort., not Linn., is a short compact form of A. Sprengeri. The true A. sarmentosus is quite a different plant and not in cult. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
