CAA"i\A, Nat. Ord. .Maranta'cece. 

 For the adornment of the conservatory, drawing-room, or flower-garden, these magnificent 

 plants are unrivalled ; their stately growth, combined with their rich and various coloured 

 flowers, and ]iicturesquc and beautiful foliage, render them the most strikingly effective of 

 ornamental plants. When intermixed with other plants, or dispersed in pots about terraces, 

 o-ravel walks, or on the margins of lawns or lakes, they impart quite an oriental asjject ; 

 during last summer, in the gardens around Paris, these jjlants created quite a sensation. 

 Being of easy culture and rapid growth, no one need be without them. Steep the seeds for a 

 few hours in hot water before sowing, then place the pot in a cucumber frame, or some other 

 warm situation, the plants Avill be ready to plant out in June, or to shift into larger pots for 

 the decoration of halls, terraces, &c., where they soon become objects of great interest. Half- 



hardy perennials.
