'2o cts. each; $ per doz. GUNNERA. Scabra. Probably the noblest of all hardy per- ennial decorative foliage plants, with leaves which, under favorable conditions, frequently measure 5 to 10 feet across, a well grown plant attaining a height of 5 feet by 1-5 to 20 feet in diameter ; but to produce a satisfactory growth it must receive liberal treatment. Very rich, deep, moist soil is indispensable. Full exposure to the sun is advisable, but they should be sheltered from severe winds and must never suffer for the want of water. Ample protection should be provided in winter by a liberal covering of leaves. $ each. BAMBOOS fBambusa). These are being used more extensively each season. Whether planted as single specimens or in clumps on the lawn, used in sub-tropical gardening or grouped with ornamental Grasses (see next page), they are always pleasing; planted on the edges of ponds, in connection with aquatic gardening, they are of special value, giving a graceful effect that cannot be obtained with any other class of plants. All the varieties listed are hardy, having withstood the past five winters with us without the least protection. Aurea.
