CAMBIUMS- 



This class of beautiful variegated foliage 

 plants, margined and delicately traced with va- 

 rious rich colors, and elegantly spotted and mot- 

 tled, are exceedingly handsome when alone or 

 intermingled with other plants. As a decorative 

 plant, they are unequalled, for the greenhouse or 

 conservatory in the summer months. They re- 

 quire a moist, warm temperature; great care must 

 be taken in their earlier stages of growth, to pre- 

 vent decay of the tubers, or damping off. The 

 tubers can be best preserved during the winter in 

 charcoal dust in a warm room, and must be 

 started, in the spring, in a warm house or hot- 

 bed with bottom heat: also do well planted in a 

 shady situation out of doors in June.
