The very decorative and at-tractive A. radiata (Fig. 17) and A. r. Anstralis (Fig. 18),with their striking Palm-like fronds, are erroneouslyconsidered as very difficult to manage, consequentlythey axe not grown as extensively as they reaUy de-serve ; they are most interesting, though of compara-tively small dimensions. Failure in their culture must,in many cases, be attributed to tho excessive heat towhich they are subjected, which causes them to get thrippy and lose their vitivlity; but when kept ina temperature of GOdeg. in the winter, raising to the summer, with constant moistui*e around them,they remain perfectly clean and healthy. They thrivebest in fibrous peat, fibrous loam, broken in small pieces,coarse silver sand, and small crocks, in about equalproportions. It is also absolutely necessary that thepots in which
