. Nothing can excel the beauty and 
richness of coloring that is found in this 
class of plants. They are'Beautiful as pot 
plants for the conservatory, making hand¬ 
some specimens for decorative and exhi¬ 
bition purposes, and are now used exten¬ 
sively as bedding plants, for which pur¬ 
pose they are exceptionally well adapted. 
They should be planted in full sun in a 
position where they can be liberally sup¬ 
plied with water, which develops the 
most wonderful colorings in the foliage.

the past few years, was made with this 
plant.
