culture in the greenhouse. The branches are furnished with 

 flat, fleshy, heart-shaped leaves, distinctly margined with cream- 

 colour, and form a diffuse yellowish mass, entirely covering the 

 surface of the ground. This has proved one of the most distinct 

 and attractive bedding plants of the season ; indeed it is difficult 

 to convey an adequate idea of its effect when used as an edging 

 or in groups by itself" We have but to add that the entire 

 stock is in Mr. Ball's hands, and that it is now being dis- 

 tributed by him.
