DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 



71 



Plants with Variegated Foliage. 



The attention and interest displayed by Amateurs in this class of 

 plants, during the past few years, has given a great stimulus to their 

 cultivation, and given them a prominence which their flowering pro- 

 perties, in many instances, could not have secured for them. We have 

 divided them into two sections, — one for Green-house, and the other for 

 Hot-house cultivation. The Green-house section are generally easy 

 of cultivation, as much so as other plants of the families to which they 

 severally belong. The Hot-house section generally requires a moist, 

 warm atmosphere. Our limits, however, will not permit more special 

 details. We herewith give a selection.
