" Dragon Trees." 
These are standard plants for all sorts of ornamentation. The 'firm-textured, 
enduring leaves, be they broad or narrow, spreading or recurved, in all cases pre- 
serve, a distinctly graceful and stately habit. They have, also, a marked individ- 
uality in the gay painting of their leaves, the young growth of which is especially 
bright. They are of easy culture, and keep a fine appearance throus-' nany hardships.
