This is a very ornamental little plant, or greenhouse shrub, that may be readily managed as a window-plant. In February, its berries (a great ornament) are in perfection, the plant being at that time covered with a profusion of its coral-like fruit that hang in small clusters beneath and among the leaves, and which retain the brilliancy of their color for a great length of time. Even without the berries, it is a very beautiful plant for a room, having long, serrated leaves, of a fine, glossy green. Ardisia crenulata will grow very well either in a cold room or one where there is a fire, and should receive a supply of water frequently, until the commencement of April, after which it may have it every day. This, like all other plants with shining leaves, soon shows the dust; it is, therefore, a good plan to sponge the leaves once a week, by which means it will always be a gay and lively ornament for the sitting-room, and its health will, at the same time, be promoted A mixture of loam and peat soil is found to grow it well.
