means a common speties. yet at the 

 same time it is fairly well known. It be- 

 longs to the group furnished with dark 

 green needle-like leaves, or rather phyl- 

 lodes, that play the part of the true 

 leaves. These phyllodes are about an 

 inch in length, and arranged for the 

 greater part in whorls, hence the specific 

 name of vertieillata. The flowers are of 

 a light yellow tint, and disposed in 

 cylindrical clusters, which are borne in 

 great profusion. It is not one of the 

 species that can be recommended for 

 flowering in small pots, such as A. Drum- 

 mondi, but as large specimens in pots 

 or tubs, or, better still, planted out in 

 the greenhouse or conservatory, it is 

 one of the most desirable. It may also 

 be used as a pillar in a lofty structure. 

 The densely-arranged dark green spiny 

 phyllodes give it an ornamental appear- 

 ance at all seasons. 



Lake Geneva, Wis. — Geo. S. Holmes,

 Montieello, III., where he has charge of
