 YUCCA (Adam's Needle). 



Adapted to all soils, and very useful either in 



connection with other plants in shrubberies, or 



as a single lawn plant, or in groups of several. 



The foliage is always interesting and useful for 



its sub-tropical effects, but when the flower spike 



is thrown up and develops, the effect is unrivalled 



by any other hardy plant. A group of ten to one 



hundred plants on the lawn is ornamental the 



year round, and when in flower is extremely 



showy. Few plants will grow as well in very 



dry situations, which is an added merit of great 



importance. 



Angustifolia (Rocky Mountain Yucca, 1 ft.) — This 

 sort has very narrow leaves and blooms before the 

 others, in the second week in June. 



*Filmentosa (2 ft.) — The well-known garden Yucca, 



blooming toward the close of June. It is the best adams needle (yucca). 

 known and most largely planted of all the Yuccas. 



Recurvifolia (2 ft.) — Resembling Filamentosa, but the recurved foliage distin- 

 guishes it.
