The distinctive character and merits of this highly ornamental class of flowers deserve 

 considerable attention. Their massive beauty stands unrivalled as a picturesque relief to 



the dark background of evergreen shinbs. They look handsome in large groups, and form 

 a showy and effective outline in flower-gardens and borders, or an admirable boundary line 

 for extensive avenues in park scenery. (^See also page 52.)
