plants affording such a magnificent display of colour and wealth of bloom, that the low price at 
which beautiful kinds are now offered, should ensure a place for them in every greenhouse 
and conservatory.

every description of decorative work, being especially useful for early forcing whero cut flowers 
are required, as with little trouble they may be had in bloom in November.
