INTDIJLN SHOT. 
HESE give a very beantiful and tropical aspect to pleasure grounds, by their stately growth 
and broad, massive foliage, relieved by rich crimson, scarlet, orange, or yellow flowers 
during the summer months ; their foliage, comprising various shades of rich green, glaucous 
and chocolate-crimSbn leaf-tints, fits them admirably for effective groups, their appearance tendering 
them a striking contrast to other plants. 
They are also invaluable for large pot plants as portable specimens in pleasure-CTonnd decoration, 
and equally so for summer groups in large conservatories, in which their great diversity of foliage 
appears to advantage, and they are very ornamental for any purpose. . The following are the best 
for conservatory, porches, or standing in tubs, pots, &c. ; about a garden they are grand objects, and 
for beds or single clumps are the finest flowering varieties of this family we ever had.
