decoration of greenhouses and conser- 
vatories, their showy spikes of flower 
remaining in full beauty for a length of 
time, exhibiting a wealth and variety Of 
gorgeous colouring scarcely obtainable in

brilliant yellow, others intense shades of 
scarlet, orange, salmon, crimson, red, 
maroon, &c., many being dotted, striped, 
maculated or rayed with yellow or scarlet, 
otliers again being crimson or scarlet, 
margined with a band of golden yellow ; 
the flowers indeed are most diversified 
and pleasing in every way.
