HEDYCHIUM. 



Gardnerianum— For general decorative purposes this has few equals. The 

 foliage resembles very much that of the stronger growing kinds of Cannas, 

 but its striking beauty lies in its blossoms. These are borne in immense 

 clasters on long, stout stems; they, in fact, terminate the regular branches or 

 stems of the plant. In color they are yellow, and are very fragrant. Either 

 for greenhouse or lawn decoration this plant is unsurpassed. It is of very 

 easy culture and readily propagated. Although a native of East India, it is 

 quite at home on our lawns during the summer months. H. H. P.
