! RICEVrS, Nat. Ord. JSuphorbiacece. 



I A magnificent and highly ornamental genus ; the picturesque foliage, and stately growth, 



i combined with brilliant coloured fruit of the Giant varieties, impart to select plantations, 



I shrubbery and mixed flower borders, quite an oriental aspect. In the gardens round Paris 



i they form one of the principal features of attraction, and if planted out and grown as single 



I specimens on our lawns and pleasure grounds, as an ornamental foliage plant, they would 



■ form a new and striking feature. The Dwarf varieties .ire of a compact growth, with rich 



I and beautiful coloured foliage, stems, and fruit ; they are very effective, and particularly valu- 



I able for small gardens, and exposed situations.
