FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS. 



_ These most.beautitul variegated-leaved plants are destined to early popularity. It has been generally supposed that they would thrive 

 only in a warm, humid atmosphere completely shaded from the sun, and in consequence they have been grown in shaded greenhouses. 

 They may be planted out, however, after the middle of June in the sunniest situations, provided they are sheltered from strong wind, if 

 given a deep, light loam and plenty of water. We have seen magnificent beds of them within the tropics, exposed to the full blaze of the 

 sun and growing in ordinary garden soil. They are quite as desirable for bedding purposes as for cultivation in pots in the conservatory. 

 The tubers should be started in the greenhouse in February or March, aud if intended for out-door beds, gradually hardened off before 

 being transferred to the open ground.

BAY TREES. Laurus Nobilis. 



Bay trees are perhaps the noblest and most useful of decorative 

 evergreens, being equally serviceable both for out-of-door decoration 

 in summer and indoors in winter. They are especially adapted to 

 give relief to geometrical lines and stiff architecture. They are also 

 useful in furnishing approaches, court-yards, terraces, piazzas and 

 verandahs, as well as for vestibules, halls and balconies.
