Excerpt from Choice Stove and Greenhouse Ornamental-Leaved Plants Foliaged Plants, which have for a number of years been looked upon as purely stove plants, but which we now find not only thrive well in the greenhouse and conservatory, but actually grow in the open air during the summer months. Nor is this any matter for astonish ment, when we reflect that even Palms, which we usually associate in our minds with great heat, are said to exist in abundance in the forest-clad slopes of the Andes, at some and feet altitude, and the same may be said of many species from the Himalayas. With these are found many plants which would be beautiful ornaments to our cool houses, if their natural positions were only more often borne in mind by the cultivator. It cannot be too strongly impressed upon the attention of collectors, that an account of the posi tion, the altitude, and natural surroundings of every plant they gather, is of the greatest assistance to the practical man at home, and that through want of such knowledge many valuable and beautiful plants have been lost to cultivation, after having been introduced in a living state to this country.
