PARTRIDGE BREAST ALOE. 
Lat: Aloe Variegata. 
Cl: HEXANDRIA. 
Old: MONOGYNIA. 
The plant from which this drawing was 
taken, was two feet high, but in general it sel- 
dom exceeds eighteen inches. 
It continues in blossom all the summer, and 
its foliage is extremely beautiful. 
It is increased by offsets, suckers, or by 
cutting the leaves, which should lay some days 
to dry previous to their being planted. 
This plant requires light earth, and the root- 
ing is greatly facilitated by being placed in a 
Hot-bed.
