In handling the shoots gloves should always be worn, on account of the minute 
prickles.— John Cox, Redleaf. 
ECHEVEKIA GLAUCO-METALLICA. 
INCE the new style of garden decoration, to which the term ‘^sub-tropical 
gardening” is applied, has come into favour—a favour which, when 
properly regulated, it well deserves—the merits of some of the species of 
Echeveria have been more generally recognized. The little tufted- 
growing Echeveria glauca forms one of the choicest of edgings, growing well too, 
if not, indeed, best, when planted horizontally against the raised edges of the 
beds. The bolder Echeveria metallica^ with its singular coppery hue and its 
remarkable contour, is equally useful for bolder effects, and comes in especially 
well when grouped with some of the lower-growing surface-clothing succulents.
