In praise of this class of ornamental shrubs, it is almost impossible to speak too highly : 

 they are not only of invaluable use for greenhouse decoration, but also, during summer, 

 they will be of equal service in the flower garden, where their beautiful foliage and neat 

 habit alone cannot fail to render them very attractive. 



They are all remarkably fine in foliage ; but a lophantha and longiflora are pre-eminently 

 so. Acacia Julibrissin is half-hardy and elegant, with tassel-like tufts of rosy flowers. 

 Previous to sowing, soak the seed in water at 120° for six hours. Greenhouse shrubs.
