mAOMrX o* MAGOALTHEE, 



One of the most desirable of our ornamental foliage 

 plants for decoration, either in or out-doors, as it does 

 not appear to suffer under the dry atmosphere of rooms; 

 and, in a partially-shady situation, stands remarkably 

 well during the summer out of doors. Its bright-colored 

 crimson and scarlet shaded foliage renders it very useful 

 for the window garden, planted as a centre-piece in a 

 Rustic stand, Jardinier, or Window-box, or for summer 

 decoration in vases, ornamental beds, etc. It thrives 

 best in a light rich soil, composed of leaf-mould, sand, 

 loam, and thoroughly decomposed manure. The color 

 of the foliage is improved by mixing small bits of char- 

 coal with the soil, and using the same also for drainage. 



Dracexa Terminalis, the most useful variety 

 for decoration. Price, 50 cts. to $1.00 each; 

 $4.50 to $9.00 per dozen.
