This class of beautiful varie- gated foliage plants, margined and delicately traced with va- rious rich colors, and elegantly spotted and mottled with rich shades of green, crimson, violet, rose and white, are exceedingly handsome when alone, or ' intermingled with other plants. As a decorative plant they are unequalled, and for planting out in partly shaded places they have suc- ceeded admirably, for which purpose plant out June 1st, in shady positions, in well-en- riched and deeply dug ground ; a mixture of finely decomposed manure or leaf mould and sand should be employed. They require a moist, warm temperature; great care must be taken in their earliest stages of growth to prevent decay of ^\& tubers or damping off. The tubers can be best pre- served during the winter in charcoal dust
