CLI BRANS’ LIST OF AMERICAN PLANTS. 
AMERICAN PLANTS. 
This line and ornamental class is remarkable for freeness in blooming and almost 
general suitability for forcing. No garden should be without a supply of them, 
as not only do they look green and gay during the winter, but when in bloom 
decorate the borders with showy brilliant flowers, or when forced, supply a variety 
of colour which enhances their value for conservatory decoration. Rhodo- 
dendrons and Azaleas are amongst the very best of shrubs for smoky districts.
