 considered an almost irdi>;- 

 pensable plant for flower gar- 

 den or lawn embellishment.

 of them are planted in all the 

 principal parks, cemeteries 

 and private places m the 

 country A more gorgeous 

 signt can scarcely be imagined 

 than the manv great masses 

 of them of all colors we fre- 

 juentlv see 'We are now no 

 longer content to grow

 did foliage peculiar to their family.
