It especially is admirably suited for the decoration of apartments or halls. Tlic leaves are from six to eighteen inches in length and from three to six wide. The upper side is dark bright shining green; \cllowish green is the color below. The Ficus is of easy culture, although many dismal failures are admitted by some good growers in rooting cuttings, owing per- haps to the use of unripened wood or to the growing of plants in too warm and close a temperature. The Ficus is a lover of air and sunshine and cuttings taken from well-ripened wood of plants that have been outdoors all summer seldom fail to take root. Old plants that have Ijeen grown in the house and have become pot-bound and stopped growing can be made into specimens by planting them out in the garden in summer in good rich soil, ])nt they must he put back into pots before cold weather sets in.
