DEAOHNA, or DSAGOIT TEEE. 



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 remark- 

 ably well during the summer 

 out of doors. Its bright colored 

 crim.'^on and scarlet shaded foli- 

 age renders it very useful for 

 the window-garden, planted as a 

 centre-piece in a rustic stand, 

 jardiniere, or window-box, or for 

 summer decoration in vases, or- 

 namental beds, etc. It thrives 

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

 oughly decomposed manure. The color of the foliage is improved by 

 mixing small bits of charcoal with the soil, and using the same also 

 for drainage.
