VON DER DECKEN’S LOBELIA. 
This giant Lobelia, which sometimes attains a height of thirty feet, is a near relation of the dwarf bedding-plant so well 
known in our gardens. The broader, darker porticn of the column shown in the photo is the leafy part of the plant; the 
narrower part above is the flower-spike.
