DRACAENAS. 



This plant is better adapted to the greenhouse, or a plant-room 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 Frugnuix Ufassaji'ge'ana, Lmdevi arid Tiidimsa can be grown quite satisfac- 

 torily in the living-room. The richly-colored varieties are among the finest ornaments of the greenhouse. 

 The Dracaena 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.
