them might be planted with great success, thus adding to their grotesque and 

 ornamental character : and, I am sure, from my knowledge of succulent plants, 

 that there are none m the whole circle of Flora which would better repay the 

 care of the cultivator, not only in summer, but during the dark winter months 

 by the bizarrene of their outlines and the beauty of their flowers. Whoever 

 has seen the splendid collections of these plants on the Continent, and the 

 once famous collection at Clermont (of which I was the parent and the 

 nurse), will readily agree with my opinions on the subject.
