SOLA'NUM, Nat. Ord. Solana' cece. Ornamental fruit and foliage plants. 

 The foUo-iuing embrace the most picturesque, grotesque, and beautiful of this highly ornamental and elegant 

 genus of plants for sub-tropical effect in summer, and conservatory decoration throughout the year. They are 

 mostly of rapid growth, seedling plants soon becoming effective and ornamental. Pyracanthum is a perfect gem ; 

 Marginatu)n conspicuous for its white foliage ; Robustum for its massive brown tinted leaves ; Laciniatum and 

 Rcclinatum for their exceedingly eleqantly divided foliage ; Glaucophyllum for its Oleander-like habit and bluish- 

 green leaves ; Warscc^viczioidis for majesty of form is unquestionably the grandest of the Solanttms. In this manner 

 ihe striking characteristics of each might be individually described.
