DRAC^NAS. 



This plant is better adapted to the greenhouse, or con- 

 servatory in which the temperature and moisture can be 

 controlled, than it is to the window-garden, where the air is 

 almost always dry and the temperature fluctuating. Such 

 varieties, however, as Fragrnns, MnssaiKjeiina, and 

 IitdioiS't can be grown quite satisfactorily in the living-room. 



The Dracjena should be given a light, fibrous soil, with just enough 

 loam in it to give it body. Drainage should be good. Watering should 

 be liberal and showering frequent. The variegated sorts require plenty 

 of light to bring out the richness of their coloring.
