For House Culture. 

 Yew plants reward the cultivator more liberally with wealth of 

 "bloom than these, and no collection of plants, however small should 

 iie -without them. The engraving shows one cluster of flowers, when 

 a plant is covered with dozens and even hundreds of such clusters of 

 ilowers the effect can be better imagined than described. The most 

 inexperiencnd cultivator can grow them. We offer a grand collect- 

 ion — the best we could select in Europe — comprising the most dis- 

 tinct and best varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of crim-
