Dreer's Decorative Dracaenas 



This plant is better adapted to the greenhouse, or conser- (V-- _r ~^~-^. 

 vatory in which the temperature and moisture can be con- t— 

 trolled, than it is to the window garden, where the air is 

 almost always dry and the temperature fluctuating. Such 

 varieties, however, as Fragrans, Mas&angeann, and 

 Indivisa can be grown quite satisfactorily in the living room. 



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

 loam in it to give it a body. Drainage should be good. The water- 

 ing should be liberal and showering frequent. The variegated sorts 

 require plenty of light to bring ou: the richness of their coloring.

 plant. Its large, circular leaves, thickly spotted with creamy-

 be made for drainage. Once a month apply a fertilizer, as it is 

 a gross feeder when allowed to have its way. Keep it in the
