A very effective and well-known Yucca, long grown in our 
gardens, and in good situations rising to a height of eight feet or 
more. ‘The stems have but little strength, and most of the large 
plants require some support to keep them from breaking under 
the effects of high winds or when heavily capped with snow. 
When the plant attains a certain age, and is in a good sunny 
situation, it is free to flower. With me, on two large plants I 
get flower-spikes every season. My figure is from a large plant 
in the Hillfield garden. For treatment see observations on 
culture, &c., Tab. 313.—W. W. S.
