YUCCA GLORIOSA AND YUCCA GLAUCESCENS. 



These, which are vulgarly called ADAM'S NEEDLE, 

 are frutescent plants of the Aloe tribe, natives of 

 America, exhibiting at this season noble pyramids 

 of whitish flowers, from four to six inches in height. 

 The blossom continues for a long time. They re- 

 quire a warm border and light rich mould.
