A General List, Including many Valuable Natural Orders. 
fERE are included a large class of very handsome and valuable plants not hitherto mentioned. The larger 
portion of them are gi-own for the beauty of their foliage, and some of our most important decorative plants — 
such as Acalypha, Aralia, Croton, Dracaena, etc. — are embraced in this division. While all of these require 
for their rapid development of full beauty a hot-house temperature, yet many of the section will retain all their 
beauty, although making but little if any growth, in a very much lower temperature. They are thus available for 
outside decorations. .
