Scientific gardening has reached an epoch when sub-tropical or Leaf Gardens in any part of the three 
kingdoms are no longer a chimera. It is simply a question of the right place for the plants, the right plants for 
the" place, and the treatment necessary to ensure success. In this style of gardening, the Carina must necessarily 
take the prominent position: possessing, as it docs, large picturesque foliage, varied both m form and colour, 
with a chasteness yet boldness of outline peculiar to itself and which renders it an equally pleasing associate 
either with shrubs or flowers. A /though we have alluded to the foliage only of these plants, it must not be forgotten 
that theirflerwers are very decorative, rising conspicuously, as they do, from amidst the amplitude of leaves. 
A stock of Cannas is easily secured by sowing the seed early in spring in a strong moist heat, and theplantswill 
be decorative the first season ; or the seed may be sown later to form rhizomes for another year. 
The following varieties are a selection of those most recently introduced, and we are glad of thus having the 
opportunity afforded of offering some important additions to the Cannas now cultivated in this country.

In addition to the culinary value of the fruit, Capsi- 
cum plants are very ornamental, when loaded 
with their highly-polished and richly-coloured 
fruits, and are /hen admirably adapted for dinner- 
table decoration. The long yellow fruited, and the 
citron-coloured variety Prince of Wales have a 
beautiful waxy appearance by gaslight, and as a 
tleasing relief are sometimes dished with the dessert.
