FUNKIA. 
These are fine hardy ornamental border plants, pushing their leaves early in Spring, and in Summer throwing 
up a profusion of beautiful Lily-like spikes of bell-shaped flowers. The species Sieboldiana and Subcordata 
grandiflora are remarkable for their exceedingly handsome foliage, and are largely used in beds as fine foliage 
plants and as edgings to sub-tropical beds. Sieboldiana has large glaucous green leaves ; Subcordata grandiflora 
has ornamental, large, light fresh green foliage, and in autumn throws up grand spikes of pure white flowers, 
rivalling the Stephanotis. For edgings to beds, Ovata aurea maculata elegantissima, argemea marginata, lan- 
ceolata, plantanifolia. and viridis, should be freely used ; while for beds of smaller dimensions, edgings of Ovaia 
spaihulata, aurea undulata varieg«ita, and aurea will be found most suitable. In mixed flower holders all the 
kunkias are valuable plants, while in semi-wild places, the large foliaged varieties are highly ornamental, 
planted in the grass. As a conservatory plant, the Funkias are all desirable, being equally ornamental in flower 
and foliage. eaih-s. d.
