+  The low'ring eye, the petulance, the frown,
+  And sullen sadness, that o'ershade, distort,
+  And mar the face of beauty, when no cause

+  These Flora banishes, and gives the fair
+  Sweet smiles and bloom, less transient than her own."

+
+The genus of which this charming plant is the most distinguished
+species, has been named in honour of _Lady Anne Monson_. The whole
+family are natives of the Cape, and in their habit and fructification
+bear great affinity to the Geranium. The present species was introduced
+into this country in 1774, by Mr. MASSON.
+
+We received this elegant plant just as it was coming into flower, from
+Mr. COLVILL, Nurseryman, King's-Road, Chelsea, who was so
+obliging as to inform me that he had succeeded best in propagating it by
+planting cuttings of the root in pots of mould, and plunging them in a
+tan-pit, watering them as occasion may require; in due time buds appear
+on the tops of the cuttings left out of the ground.
+
+It rarely or never ripens its seed with us.
+
+Should be treated as a hardy greenhouse plant; may be sheltered even
+under a frame, in the winter.

+
+Receives its name of _triste_ from the sombre appearance of its flowers;
+but this must be understood when placed at some little distance, for, on
+a near view, the principal colour of the blossoms is a fine rich brown,
+inclined to purple.
+
+Is a native of Spain, and of course a greenhouse plant with us, but it
+must not be too tenderly treated, as it loses much of its beauty when
+drawn up, it should therefore be kept out of doors when the season will
+admit, as it only requires shelter from severe frost, and that a common
+hot-bed frame will in general sufficiently afford it.
+
+It flowers during most of the summer months; as it rarely or never
+ripens its seeds with us, the usual mode of propagating it, is by
+cuttings, which strike readily enough in the common way.
+
+MILLER relates that it was first introduced into this country
+by Sir CHARLES WAGER, from Gibraltar seeds.

+
+
+Culture is well known to produce great alterations in the appearance of
+most plants, but particularly in those which grow spontaneously on dry
+mountainous situations, and this is strikingly exemplified in the
+present instance, this species of _Potentilla_, becoming in every
+respect much larger, as well as much smoother than in its natural state.
+_Vid._ VAILL. above quoted.
+
+It is a hardy herbaceous plant, a native of Switzerland, Siberia, and
+other parts of Europe, and flowers in July.
+
+LINNÆUS considers it as an annual; MILLER, as a
+biennial; we suspect it to be, indeed have little doubt of its being a
+perennial; having propagated it by parting its roots, but it may be
+raised more successfully from seed.

+
+[Illustration: No 76]
+
+Though the _Epilobium_ here figured has not been many years introduced
+into this country, it is a plant which has long been well known, and
+described.
+
+LINNÆUS makes it a variety only of the _Epilobium
+angustifolium_; HALLER, a distinct species, and in our opinion,
+most justly.
+
+Those who have cultivated the _Epilobium angustifolium_ have cause to
+know that it increases prodigiously by its creeping roots. The present
+plant, so far as we have been able to determine from cultivating it
+several years, in our Garden, Lambeth-Marsh, has not shewn the least
+disposition to increase in the same way, nor have any seedlings arisen
+from the seeds which it has spontaneously scattered: we have, indeed,
+found it a plant rather difficult to propagate, yet it is highly
+probable that at a greater distance from London, and in a more
+favourable soil, its roots, though not of the creeping kind, may admit
+of a greater increase, and its seeds be more prolific.
+
+It is a native of the Alps of Switzerland, from whence it is frequently
+dislodged, and carried into the plains by the impetuosity of torrents.
+
+It flowers with us in July and August, and being a hardy perennial, and
+perhaps the most elegant species of the genus, appears to us highly
+deserving a place in the gardens of the curious.

+
+It has been suggested by some of our readers, that too many common
+plants, like the present, are figured in this work. We wish it to be
+understood, that the professed design of the Botanical Magazine is to
+exhibit representations of such. We are desirous of putting it in the
+power of all who cultivate or amuse themselves with plants, to become
+scientifically acquainted with them, as far as our labours extend; and
+we deem it of more consequence, that they should be able to ascertain
+such as are to be found in every garden, than such as they may never
+have an opportunity of seeing. On viewing the representations of objects
+of this sort, a desire of seeing the original is naturally excited, and
+the pleasure is greatly enhanced by having it in our power to possess
+it. But, while we are desirous of thus creating Botanists, we are no
+less anxious to gratify the wishes of those already such; and we
+believe, from a perusal of the Magazine, it will appear that one-third
+of the plants figured, have some pretensions to novelty.
+
+The _Centaurea montana_ is a native of the German Alps, flowers during
+the greatest part of the summer, is a hardy perennial, and will grow in
+any soil or situation, some will think too readily.

+
+We shall be thought, perhaps, too partial to this tribe of plants, this
+being the fifth species now figured; but it should be remembered, that
+as the spring does not afford that variety of flowers which the summer
+does, we are more limited in our choice; the flowers of this delightful
+season have also greater claims to our notice, they present themselves
+with double charms.
+
+This species, which, as its name implies, possesses more fragrance than
+many of the others, is a native of the South of Europe, flowers in the
+open border in April, is a hardy-perennial, thriving in almost any soil
+or situation, but succeeds best in a loamy soil and eastern exposure.
+Varies with double flowers, in which slate it is often used for forcing.
+
+No notice is taken of this species by MILLER, except as a
+variety of the N. _Jonquilla_, from which it differs _toto calo_.

+
+[Illustration: No 79]
+
+This species of _Lotus_ has been called black-flower'd, not that the
+flowers are absolutely black, for they are of a very rich brown inclined
+to purple, but because they appear so at a little distance; the light
+colour of the foliage contributes not a little to this appearance.
+
+"It grows naturally in the Island of St. James; is too tender to live
+abroad in England, so the plants must be kept in pots, and in the winter
+placed in a warm airy glass cafe, but in the summer they should be
+placed abroad in a sheltered situation. It may be easily propagated by
+cuttings during the summer season, and also by seeds, but the plants
+which have been two or three times propagated by cuttings, seldom are
+fruitful." _Miller's Gard. Dict._
+
+It continues to flower during the whole of the summer; as it is very apt
+to die off without any apparent cause, care should be taken to have a
+succession of plants from seeds, if possible.

+[Illustration: No 80]
+
+This plant, not less celebrated for its superior efficacy in destroying
+worms[A], than admired for its beauty, is a native of the warmer parts
+of North America; the older Botanists, and even LINNÆUS, at one
+time considered it as a _honeysuckle_, but he has now made a new genus
+of it, which he has named in honour of SPIGELIUS, a Botanist of
+considerable note, author of the _Ifagog. in yem herbar_. published at
+_Leyden_ in 1633.
+
+"This plant is not easily propagated in England, for the roots make but
+slow increase, so that the plant is not very common in the English
+Gardens at present; for although it is so hardy as to endure the cold of
+our ordinary winters in the open air, yet as it does not ripen seeds,
+the only way of propagating it is by parting of the roots; and as these
+do not make much increase by offsets, so the plants are scarce; it
+delights in a moist soil, and must not be often transplanted." _Miller's
+Dict._
+
+The scarcity of this plant, even now, is a proof of the justness of Mr.
+MILLER's observation; it is in fact a very shy plant, and
+scarcely to be kept in this country but by frequent importation.
+
+It flowers in June and July.

+
+The Bladder Senna, a native of the South of France and Italy, produces a
+profusion of bloom from June to August, when its inflated pods please
+from the singularity of their appearance; on these accounts, it is one
+of the most common flowering shrubs cultivated in gardens and
+plantations.
+
+"It is propagated by sowing its seeds any time in the spring in a bed of
+common earth; and when the plants are come up, they must be kept clear
+from weeds, and the Michaelmas following they should be transplanted
+either into nursery-rows, or in the places where they are designed to
+remain; for if they are let grow in the seed-bed too long, they are very
+subject to have tap roots, which render them unfit for transplanting;
+nor should these trees be suffered to remain too long in the nursery
+before they are transplanted, for the same reason." _Miller's Gard.

+
+We have learned by experience, that a very wet soil will prove fatal to
+these shrubs.

+
+To Mr. LEE, of the Vineyard, Hammersmith, the first, and as we
+understand, the only Nurseryman as yet in possession of this plant,
+which has but lately been introduced into this country from the Cape, we
+are indebted for the present specimen.
+
+Mr. JACQUIN, jun. who has figured and described it in the _Acta
+Helvetica_, gives it the name of _Lachenalia_, in honour of WARNERUS
+de la CHENAL, a very eminent Swiss Botanist, and the particular
+friend of the late illustrious HALLER. Our readers should be
+informed, that it had before been called by two other different names,
+viz. _Hyacinthus orchiodes_, and _Phormium aloides_, under the latter of
+which it now stands in the 14th edition of the _Systema Vegetabilium_,
+as well as that of _Lachenalia_.
+
+Its trivial name of _tricolor_ it receives from the three colours
+observable in the flowers; but it must be noticed, that it is only at
+the middle period of its flowering, that these three colours are highly
+distinguishable; as it advances, the brilliant orange of the top flowers
+dies away; the spots on the leaves also, which when the plant is young,
+give it the appearance of an orchis, as it advances into bloom become
+less and less conspicuous.
+
+Like most of the Cape plants, the _Lachenalia_ requires to be sheltered
+in the winter; during that season it must therefore be kept in a
+greenhouse, or hot-bed frame, well secured.
+
+It flowers in the spring, but its blowing may be accelerated by the
+warmth of the stove, for it bears forcing well enough.
+
+It is increased by offsets from the bulbs.

+
+[Illustration: No 83]
+
+The _Hibiscus syriacus_, known generally by the name of _Althæa frutex_,
+is a native of Syria, and forms one of the chief ornaments of our
+gardens in autumn; we view it, however, with less delight, as it is a
+sure indication of approaching winter.
+
+There are many varieties of it mentioned by authors, as the _purple,
+red-flowered, white-flowered, variegated red and white flowered_, and
+the _striped-flowered_, to which may be added, another variety, lately
+introduced, with double flowers: it varies also in its foliage, which is
+sometimes marked with white, sometimes with yellow.
+
+As from the lateness of its flowering, and the want of sufficient
+warmth, it rarely ripens its seeds with us; the usual mode of increasing
+it is by layers, and sometimes by cuttings; but the best plants are
+raised from seeds. MILLER observes, that the scarce varieties
+may be propagated by grafting them on each other, which is the common
+method of propagating the sorts with striped leaves.
+
+In the time of PARKINSON it was not looked on as a hardy shrub:
+he thus writes,--"they are somewhat tender, and would not be suffered to
+be uncovered in the winter time, or yet abroad in the garden, but kept
+in a large pot or tubbe, in the house or in a warme cellar, if you would
+have them to thrive." _Park. Parad._

+
+This species, a native of the Alps, of Switzerland, and Austria, is

+hardy perennial, increases most readily in a moist shady situation, is
+usually kept in pots for the convenience of sheltering it in very severe
+seasons; but it will grow readily enough in the open border. All plants
+that flower early, though ever so hardy, require some kind of shelter,
+previous to, and during their flowering.

+This species of Violet, a native of Virginia, is very rarely met with in

+flowered this spring in the garden of THOMAS SYKES, Esq. at
+Hackney, who possesses a very fine collection of plants, and of American
+ones in particular.
+
+It is more remarkable for the singularity of its foliage than the beauty
+of its blossoms; the former exhibit a very good example of the _folium

+
+MILLER, who calls it _multifida_ from a former edition of
+LINNÆUS's _Species Plantarum_, says, that the flowers are not
+succeeded by seeds here, hence it can only be propagated by parting its
+roots.
+
+The best mode of treating it, will be to place the roots in a pot of
+loam and bog earth mixed, and plunge the pot into a north border, where
+it must be sheltered in the winter, or taken up and kept in a common

+The GORTERIA, of which there are several species, and most of them, like

+GORTER, author of the _Flora Zutphanica_ and _Ingrica_; the trivial name

+term which it is sometimes apt to exchange for the more common botanic
+name of _ringens_; an instance of such mistake occurs in the 6th edition
+of MILLER's _Gard. Dict._

+
+This species, by far the most magnificent of the Iris tribe, is a native

+LINNÆUS informs us, that it was imported into Holland from
+Constantinople in 1573.
+
+Though an inhabitant of a much warmer climate than our own, it thrives
+readily in the open borders of our gardens; and, in certain favourable
+situations, flowers freely about the latter end of May or beginning of
+June. It succeeds best in a loamy soil and sunny exposure, with a pure
+air moisture, which favours the growth of most of the genus, is
+injurious and sometimes even fatal to this species.
+
+As it rarely ripens its seeds with us, it is generally propagated by
+parting its roots in autumn. These are also usually imported from
+Holland, and may be had of the importers of bulbs at a reasonable rate.
+
+Being liable to be destroyed by seasons unusually severe, it will be
+prudent to place a few roots of it in pots, either in the greenhouse or
+in a hot-bed frame during the winter.

+
+This species of Saxifrage differing so widely from the others, both in
+its habit and fructification, as to create a doubt in the minds of some,
+whether it ought not to be considered as a distinct genus, is a native
+of China, and one of the many plants which have been introduced into our

+
+Its round variegated leaves, and strawberry-like runners, the uncommon
+magnitude of the two lowermost pendant petals, joined to the very
+conspicuous glandular nectary in the centre of the flower, half
+surrounding the germen, render this species strikingly distinct.
+
+It is properly a greenhouse plant; in mild winters indeed it will bear
+the open air, especially if placed at the foot of a wall, or among
+rock-work; but, in such situations, it is frequently killed in severe
+seasons.
+

+its runners, as to be even troublesome.

+
+It appears from the _Hortus Kewensis_, the publication of which is daily
+expected, that the plant here figured was first brought to this country
+from the Canary Islands, by Mr. FRANCIS MASSON, in the year
+1777.
+
+It is highly deserving the notice of the Botanist, not only as being by
+far the least species of the genus, but on account of its Nectaria;
+these, though not mentioned by LINNÆUS in his character of the genus,
+have been described by other authors, particularly JACQUIN and HALLER;
+and though not present in most, and but faintly visible in a few species
+of _Sempervivum_, in this plant form a principal part of the
+fructification; they are usually seven in number, but vary from six to
+eight.
+
+In the specimens we have examined, and which perhaps have been rendered
+luxuriant by culture, the number of stamina has been from twelve to
+sixteen; of styles, from six to eight; of flowers on the same stalk,
+from one to eight.
+
+It flowers during most of the summer months, succeeds very well with the
+common treatment of a greenhouse plant in the summer, but does best in a
+dry stove in the winter.
+
+Is readily increased by parting its roots.

+
+On comparing the present plant with the _Bermudiana graminea flore

+and now in pots before me, the difference appears so striking, that I am
+induced with him and MILLER to consider them as distinct
+species; especially as, on a close examination, there appear characters
+sufficient to justify me in the opinion, which characters are not
+altered by culture.
+
+It is a native of the Bermudian Islands, and flowers in the open border
+from May to the end of July; it is not uncommon to keep it in the
+greenhouse, for which, from its size &c. it is very well adapted; but it
+is not necessary to treat it tenderly, as it will bear a greater degree
+of cold than many plants usually considered as hardy.
+
+It may be propagated most readily by seeds, or by parting its roots in
+the autumn; should be planted on a border with an eastern aspect; soil
+the same as for bulbs.

+
+This is one of the numerous tribe of _Geraniums_ introduced from the
+Cape since the time of MILLER: it takes the name of _Radula_,
+which is the Latin term for a rasp or file, from the rough rasp-like
+surface of the leaves.
+
+There are two varieties of it, a _major_ and a _minor_, which keep
+pretty constantly to their characters; and as this species is readily
+raised from seeds, it affords also many seminal varieties.
+
+As a Botanist, desirous of seeing plants distinct in their characters,
+we could almost wish it were impossible to raise these _foreign
+Geraniums_ from seeds; for, without pretending to any extraordinary
+discernment, we may venture to prophecy, that in a few years, from the
+multiplication of seminal varieties, springing from seeds casually, or
+perhaps purposely impregnated with the pollen of different sorts, such a
+crop will be produced as will baffle all our attempts to reduce to
+species, or even regular varieties.
+
+Such as are partial to this tribe, will no doubt wish to have this
+species in their collection; the blossoms are pretty, and the foliage is
+singular, but it remains but a short time in flower.

+
+According to MILLER, this species grows naturally in _Jamaica_,

+roundish berries, which, when ripe, turn black, having a pulpy covering

+
+The present plant is a native of _Chili_, and was introduced to the

+takes the name of _Fuchsia_ from _Fuchs_ a German Botanist of great
+celebrity, author of the _Historia Stirpium_ in _folio_, published in
+1542, containing five hundred and sixteen figures in wood; and which,
+though mere outlines, express the objects they are intended to
+represent, infinitely better than many laboured engravings of more
+modern times.
+
+Every person who can boast a hot-house will be anxious to possess the
+_Fuchsia_, as it is not only a plant of peculiar beauty, but produces
+its rich pendant blossoms through most of the summer; the petals in the
+centre of the flower are particularly deserving of notice; they somewhat
+resemble a small roll of the richest purple-coloured ribband.
+
+Though this plant will not succeed well in the winter, nor be easily
+propagated unless in a stove, it will flower very well during the summer
+months, in a good greenhouse or hot-bed frame, and though at present
+from its novelty it bears a high price, yet as it is readily propagated,
+both by layers, cuttings, and seeds, it will soon be within the purchase
+of every lover of plants.

+
+This species of _Tropæolum_ (which like the _majus_ already figured in
+this work, is a native of _Peru_) has long been an inhabitant of our
+gardens; it was the only species we had in the time of PARKINSON, by
+whom it is figured and described; it appears indeed to have been a great
+favourite with that intelligent author, for he says this plant "is of so
+great beauty and sweetnesse withall, that my garden of delight cannot
+bee unfurnished of it, and again the whole flower hath a fine small
+sent, very pleasing, which being placed in the middle of some Carnations
+or Gilloflowers (for they are in flower at the same time) make a
+delicate Tussimusie, as they call it, or Nosegay, both for sight and
+sent."
+
+As the _Passiflora cærulea_, from its superior beauty and hardiness, has
+in a great degree supplanted the _incarnata_, so has the _Tropæolum
+majus_ the _minus_; we have been informed indeed that it was entirely
+lost to our gardens till lately, when it was reintroduced by Dr.
+J. E. SMITH, who by distributing it to his friends, and the
+Nurserymen near London, has again rendered it tolerably plentiful.
+
+Like the _majus_ it is an annual, though by artificial heat it may be
+kept in a pot through the winter, as usually is the variety of it with
+double flowers; but as it will grow readily in the open air, in warm
+sheltered situations, it should be raised on a hot-bed, like other
+tender annuals, if we wish to have it flower early in the summer,
+continue long in blossom, and produce perfect seeds.

+the flowers exhibit a pretty, innocent appearance, and strongly diffuse
+an agreeable honey-like smell. They continue to blow through most of the
+summer months.
+
+It is a very proper plant for a wall or piece of rock-work; care must be
+taken, however, not to sow too much of the seed in one pot, as it
+spreads wide, but it may easily be reduced at any period of its growth,
+as it does not creep at the root.
+
+The specific description in the _Hortus Kewensis_ above referred to,
+admirably characterizes the plant, but surely at the expence of its
+generic character.

+
+Grows wild among the corn in the South of Europe, is an annual, and,
+like the _Sweet Alyssum_, generally cultivated in our gardens, and most
+deservedly so indeed, for when a large assemblage of its blossoms are
+expanded by the rays of the sun, their brilliancy is such as almost to
+dazzle the eyes of the beholder.
+
+Those annuals which bear our winter's frosts without injury, are
+advantageously sown in the autumn; for by that means they flower more
+early, and their seeds ripen with more certainty; the present plant is
+one of those: it usually sows itself, and is therefore raised without
+any trouble.
+
+It begins to flower in May and June, and continues to enliven the garden
+till August or September.

+
+Mons. L'HERITIER, the celebrated French Botanist, who in the
+number, elegance, and accuracy of his engravings, appears ambitious of
+excelling all his contemporaries, in a work now executing on the family
+of _Geranium_, has thought it necessary to divide that numerous genus
+into three, viz. _Erodium_, _Pelargonium_, and _Geranium_.
+
+The _Erodium_ includes those which LINNÆUS (who noticing the
+great difference in their appearance, had made three divisions of them)
+describes with five fertile stamina, and calls Myrrhina; the
+_Pelargonium_ those with seven fertile stamina, his _Africana_; the
+_Geranium_, those with ten fertile stamina, his _Batrachia_.
+
+They are continued under the class _Monadelphia_, in which they now form
+three different orders, according to the number of their stamina, viz.
+_Pentandria_, _Heptandria_, and _Decandria_. If the principles of the
+Linnæan system had been strictly adhered to, they should perhaps have
+been separated into different classes; for though the _Pelargonium_ is
+Monadelphous, the _Geranium_ is not so; in consequence of this
+alteration, the _Geranium peltatum_ and _radula_, figured in a former
+part of this work, must now be called _Pelargonium peltatum_, and
+_radula_, and the _Geranium Reichardi_ be an _Erodium_.
+
+The leaves of this plant have somewhat the taste of sorrel, whence its
+name, it flowers during most of the summer, and is readily propagated by
+cuttings. MILLER mentions a variety of it with scarlet flowers.
+
+It is a native of the Cape, and known to have been cultivated in Chelsea
+Garden, in the year 1724.

+
+[Illustration: No 104]
+
+In the spring of the year 1781, I received roots of this plant from Mr.
+ROBERT SQUIBB, then at New-York, which produced flowers the
+ensuing summer, since that time, I have had frequent opportunities of
+observing a very peculiar circumstance in its oeconomy; after
+flowering, instead of producing seeds, it throws out _gemmæ vivaces_, or
+_bulbs_ of an unusual form, from the alæ of the leaves, which falling
+off in the month of October, when the plant decays, produce young plants
+the ensuing spring.
+
+As it is distinguished from all the known species of _Lysimachia_ by
+this circumstance, we have named it _bulbifera_ instead of _stricta_,
+under which it appears in the _Hortus Kewensis_.
+
+Some Botanists, whose abilities we revere, are of opinion that the
+trivial names of plants, which are or should be a kind of abridgment of
+the specific character, ought very rarely or never to be changed: we are
+not for altering them capriciously on every trivial occasion, but in
+such a case as the present, where the science is manifestly advanced by
+the alteration, it would surely have been criminal to have preferred a
+name, barely expressive, to one which immediately identifies the plant.
+
+The _Lysimachia bulbifera_ is a hardy perennial, grows spontaneously in
+boggy or swampy ground, and hence requires a moist soil. It flowers in
+August.

+
+[Illustration: No 105]
+
+Under the name of _Spiderwort_, the old Botanists arranged many plants
+of very different genera: the name is said to have arisen from the
+supposed efficacy of some of these plants, in curing the bite of a kind
+of spider, called _Phalangium_; not the _Phalangium_ of
+LINNÆUS, which is known to be perfectly harmless: under this
+name, PARKINSON minutely describes it; he mentions also, how he
+first obtained it.
+
+"This Spiderwort," says our venerable author, "is of late knowledge, and
+for it the Christian world is indebted unto that painful, industrious
+searcher, John Tradescant, who first received it of a friend that
+brought it out of Virginia, and hath imparted hereof, as of many other
+things, both to me and others."
+
+TOURNEFORT afterwards gave it the name of _Ephemerum_,
+expressive of the short duration of its flowers, which LINNÆUS
+changed to _Tradescantia_.
+
+Though a native of Virginia, it bears the severity of our climate
+uninjured, and being a beautiful, as well as hardy perennial, is found
+in almost every garden.
+
+Though each blossom lasts but a day, it has such a profusion in store,
+that it is seldom found without flowers through the whole of the summer.
+There are two varieties of it, the one with white the other with pale
+purple flowers. The most usual way of propagating it is by parting its
+roots in autumn to obtain varieties, we must sow its seeds.

+
+[Illustration: No 106]
+
+The Candy-Tuft is one of those annuals which contribute generally to
+enliven the borders of the flower-garden: its usual colour is a pale
+purple, there is also a white variety of it, and another with deep but
+very bright purple flowers, the most desirable of the three, but where a
+garden is large enough to admit of it, all the varieties may be sown.
+
+For want of due discrimination, as MILLER has before observed,
+Nurserymen are apt to collect and mix with this species the seeds of
+another, viz. the _amara_, and which persons not much skilled in plants
+consider as the white variety; but a slight attention will discover it
+to be a very different plant, having smaller and longer heads, differing
+also in the shape of its leaves and seed vessels, too trifling a plant
+indeed to appear in the flower-garden.
+
+Purple Candy-Tuft is a native of the South of Europe, and flowers in
+June and July: it should be sown in the spring, on the borders of the
+flower-garden in patches; when the plants come up, a few only should be
+left, as they will thereby become stronger, produce more flowers, and be
+of longer duration.

+LINNÆUS; not common in our gardens, though cultivated as long
+ago as 1699, by the DUCHESS OF BEAUFORT; (_vid. Hort. Kew._)
+unnoticed by MILLER.
+
+This species, superior in beauty to many of the genus, is an annual, and
+consequently raised only from seeds, these must be sown in the spring,
+on a hot-bed, and when large enough to transplant, placed separately in
+pots of light loamy earth, then replunged into a moderate hot-bed to
+bring them forward, and in the month of June removed into a warm border,
+where, if the season prove favourable, they will flower very well
+towards August; but, as such seldom ripen their seeds, it will be proper
+to keep a few plants in the stove or greenhouse for that purpose,

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project

+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the

+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+planting cuttings of the root in pots of mould, and plunging them in a

+but this must be understood when placed at some little distance, for, on
+a near view, the principal colour of the blossoms is a fine rich brown,
+inclined to purple.</p>
+
+<p>Is a native of Spain, and of course a greenhouse plant with us, but it
+must not be too tenderly treated, as it loses much of its beauty when
+drawn up, it should therefore be kept out of doors when the season will
+admit, as it only requires shelter from severe frost, and that a common
+hot-bed frame will in general sufficiently afford it.</p>
+
+<p>It flowers during most of the summer months; as it rarely or never
+ripens its seeds with us, the usual mode of propagating it, is by
+cuttings, which strike readily enough in the common way.</p>

+are indebted for the present specimen.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. <span class="smcap">Jacquin</span>, jun. who has figured and described it in the <i>Acta
+Helvetica</i>, gives it the name of <i>Lachenalia</i>, in honour of <span class="smcap">Warnerus
+de la Chenal</span>, a very eminent Swiss Botanist, and the particular
+friend of the late illustrious <span class="smcap">Haller</span>. Our readers should be
+informed, that it had before been called by two other different names,
+viz. <i>Hyacinthus orchiodes</i>, and <i>Phormium aloides</i>, under the latter of
+which it now stands in the 14th edition of the <i>Systema Vegetabilium</i>,
+as well as that of <i>Lachenalia</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Its trivial name of <i>tricolor</i> it receives from the three colours
+observable in the flowers; but it must be noticed, that it is only at
+the middle period of its flowering, that these three colours are highly
+distinguishable; as it advances, the brilliant orange of the top flowers
+dies away; the spots on the leaves also, which when the plant is young,
+give it the appearance of an orchis, as it advances into bloom become
+less and less conspicuous.</p>
+
+<p>Like most of the Cape plants, the <i>Lachenalia</i> requires to be sheltered
+in the winter; during that season it must therefore be kept in a
+greenhouse, or hot-bed frame, well secured.</p>
+
+<p>It flowers in the spring, but its blowing may be accelerated by the
+warmth of the stove, for it bears forcing well enough.</p>
+
+<p>It is increased by offsets from the bulbs.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[Pg 21]</a></span></p>

+<p>The <i>Hibiscus syriacus</i>, known generally by the name of <i>Alth&aelig;a frutex</i>,
+is a native of Syria, and forms one of the chief ornaments of our
+gardens in autumn; we view it, however, with less delight, as it is a
+sure indication of approaching winter.</p>
+
+<p>There are many varieties of it mentioned by authors, as the <i>purple,
+red-flowered, white-flowered, variegated red and white flowered</i>, and
+the <i>striped-flowered</i>, to which may be added, another variety, lately
+introduced, with double flowers: it varies also in its foliage, which is
+sometimes marked with white, sometimes with yellow.</p>
+
+<p>As from the lateness of its flowering, and the want of sufficient
+warmth, it rarely ripens its seeds with us; the usual mode of increasing
+it is by layers, and sometimes by cuttings; but the best plants are
+raised from seeds. <span class="smcap">Miller</span> observes, that the scarce varieties
+may be propagated by grafting them on each other, which is the common
+method of propagating the sorts with striped leaves.</p>
+
+<p>In the time of <span class="smcap">Parkinson</span> it was not looked on as a hardy shrub:
+he thus writes,&mdash;"they are somewhat tender, and would not be suffered to
+be uncovered in the winter time, or yet abroad in the garden, but kept
+in a large pot or tubbe, in the house or in a warme cellar, if you would
+have them to thrive." <i>Park. Parad.</i><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span></p>

+<p>It appears from the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i>, the publication of which is daily
+expected, that the plant here figured was first brought to this country
+from the Canary Islands, by Mr. <span class="smcap">Francis Masson</span>, in the year
+1777.</p>
+
+<p>It is highly deserving the notice of the Botanist, not only as being by
+far the least species of the genus, but on account of its Nectaria;
+these, though not mentioned by <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span> in his character of the
+genus, have been described by other authors, particularly
+<span class="smcap">Jacquin</span> and <span class="smcap">Haller</span>; and though not present in most,
+and but faintly visible in a few species of <i>Sempervivum</i>, in this plant
+form a principal part of the fructification; they are usually seven in
+number, but vary from six to eight.</p>
+
+<p>In the specimens we have examined, and which perhaps have been rendered
+luxuriant by culture, the number of stamina has been from twelve to
+sixteen; of styles, from six to eight; of flowers on the same stalk,
+from one to eight.</p>
+
+<p>It flowers during most of the summer months, succeeds very well with the
+common treatment of a greenhouse plant in the summer, but does best in a
+dry stove in the winter.</p>
+
+<p>Is readily increased by parting its roots.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span></p>

+sufficient to justify me in the opinion, which characters are not
+altered by culture.</p>
+
+<p>It is a native of the Bermudian Islands, and flowers in the open border
+from May to the end of July; it is not uncommon to keep it in the
+greenhouse, for which, from its size &amp;c. it is very well adapted; but it
+is not necessary to treat it tenderly, as it will bear a greater degree
+of cold than many plants usually considered as hardy.</p>
+
+<p>It may be propagated most readily by seeds, or by parting its roots in
+the autumn; should be planted on a border with an eastern aspect; soil
+the same as for bulbs.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span></p>

+<p>This is one of the numerous tribe of <i>Geraniums</i> introduced from the
+Cape since the time of <span class="smcap">Miller</span>: it takes the name of <i>Radula</i>,
+which is the Latin term for a rasp or file, from the rough rasp-like
+surface of the leaves.</p>
+
+<p>There are two varieties of it, a <i>major</i> and a <i>minor</i>, which keep
+pretty constantly to their characters; and as this species is readily
+raised from seeds, it affords also many seminal varieties.</p>
+
+<p>As a Botanist, desirous of seeing plants distinct in their characters,
+we could almost wish it were impossible to raise these <i>foreign
+Geraniums</i> from seeds; for, without pretending to any extraordinary
+discernment, we may venture to prophecy, that in a few years, from the
+multiplication of seminal varieties, springing from seeds casually, or
+perhaps purposely impregnated with the pollen of different sorts, such a
+crop will be produced as will baffle all our attempts to reduce to
+species, or even regular varieties.</p>
+
+<p>Such as are partial to this tribe, will no doubt wish to have this
+species in their collection; the blossoms are pretty, and the foliage is
+singular, but it remains but a short time in flower.</p>

+<p>According to <span class="smcap">Miller</span>, this species grows naturally in <i>Jamaica</i>,
+and most of the other Islands in the <i>West-Indies</i>, where it is called
+<i>wild Sage</i>; the flowers, which are very brilliant, are succeeded by
+roundish berries, which, when ripe, turn black, having a pulpy covering

+
+<p>It is readily propagated by cuttings.</p>
+
+<p>Different plants vary greatly in the colour of their blossoms, and the

+<p>The present plant is a native of <i>Chili</i>, and was introduced to the
+royal gardens at Kew, in the year 1788, by Capt. <span class="smcap">Firth</span>; it
+takes the name of <i>Fuchsia</i> from <i>Fuchs</i> a German Botanist of great
+celebrity, author of the <i>Historia Stirpium</i> in <i>folio</i>, published in
+1542, containing five hundred and sixteen figures in wood; and which,
+though mere outlines, express the objects they are intended to
+represent, infinitely better than many laboured engravings of more
+modern times.</p>
+
+<p>Every person who can boast a hot-house will be anxious to possess the
+<i>Fuchsia</i>, as it is not only a plant of peculiar beauty, but produces
+its rich pendant blossoms through most of the summer; the petals in the
+centre of the flower are particularly deserving of notice; they somewhat
+resemble a small roll of the richest purple-coloured ribband.</p>
+
+<p>Though this plant will not succeed well in the winter, nor be easily
+propagated unless in a stove, it will flower very well during the summer
+months, in a good greenhouse or hot-bed frame, and though at present
+from its novelty it bears a high price, yet as it is readily propagated,
+both by layers, cuttings, and seeds, it will soon be within the purchase
+of every lover of plants.</p>

+<p>This species of <i>Trop&aelig;olum</i> (which like the <i>majus</i> already
+figured in this work, is a native of <i>Peru</i>) has long been an inhabitant
+of our gardens; it was the only species we had in the time of <span
+class="smcap">Parkinson</span>, by whom it is figured and described; it
+appears indeed to have been a great favourite with that intelligent
+author, for he says this plant "is of so great beauty and sweetnesse
+withall, that my garden of delight cannot bee unfurnished of it, and
+again the whole flower hath a fine small sent, very pleasing, which
+being placed in the middle of some Carnations or Gilloflowers (for they
+are in flower at the same time) make a delicate Tussimusie, as they call
+it, or Nosegay, both for sight and sent."</p>
+
+<p>As the <i>Passiflora c&aelig;rulea</i>, from its superior beauty and hardiness, has
+in a great degree supplanted the <i>incarnata</i>, so has the <i>Trop&aelig;olum
+majus</i> the <i>minus</i>; we have been informed indeed that it was entirely
+lost to our gardens till lately, when it was reintroduced by Dr.
+<span class="smcap">J. E. Smith</span>, who by distributing it to his friends, and the
+Nurserymen near London, has again rendered it tolerably plentiful.</p>
+
+<p>Like the <i>majus</i> it is an annual, though by artificial heat it may be
+kept in a pot through the winter, as usually is the variety of it with
+double flowers; but as it will grow readily in the open air, in warm
+sheltered situations, it should be raised on a hot-bed, like other
+tender annuals, if we wish to have it flower early in the summer,
+continue long in blossom, and produce perfect seeds.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_54" id="Page_54">[Pg 54]</a></span></p>

+<p>Mons. <span class="smcap">L'Heritier</span>, the celebrated French Botanist, who in the
+number, elegance, and accuracy of his engravings, appears ambitious of
+excelling all his contemporaries, in a work now executing on the family
+of <i>Geranium</i>, has thought it necessary to divide that numerous genus
+into three, viz. <i>Erodium</i>, <i>Pelargonium</i>, and <i>Geranium</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Erodium</i> includes those which <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span> (who noticing the
+great difference in their appearance, had made three divisions of them)
+describes with five fertile stamina, and calls Myrrhina; the
+<i>Pelargonium</i> those with seven fertile stamina, his <i>Africana</i>; the
+<i>Geranium</i>, those with ten fertile stamina, his <i>Batrachia</i>.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_64" id="Page_64">[Pg 64]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>They are continued under the class <i>Monadelphia</i>, in which they now form
+three different orders, according to the number of their stamina, viz.
+<i>Pentandria</i>, <i>Heptandria</i>, and <i>Decandria</i>. If the principles of the
+Linn&aelig;an system had been strictly adhered to, they should perhaps have
+been separated into different classes; for though the <i>Pelargonium</i> is
+Monadelphous, the <i>Geranium</i> is not so; in consequence of this
+alteration, the <i>Geranium peltatum</i> and <i>radula</i>, figured in a former
+part of this work, must now be called <i>Pelargonium peltatum</i>, and
+<i>radula</i>, and the <i>Geranium Reichardi</i> be an <i>Erodium</i>.</p>
+
+<p>The leaves of this plant have somewhat the taste of sorrel, whence its
+name, it flowers during most of the summer, and is readily propagated by
+cuttings. <span class="smcap">Miller</span> mentions a variety of it with scarlet flowers.</p>
+
+<p>It is a native of the Cape, and known to have been cultivated in Chelsea

+
+<p>In the spring of the year 1781, I received roots of this plant from Mr.
+<span class="smcap">Robert Squibb</span>, then at New-York, which produced flowers the
+ensuing summer, since that time, I have had frequent opportunities of
+observing a very peculiar circumstance in its [oe]conomy; after
+flowering, instead of producing seeds, it throws out <i>gemm&aelig; vivaces</i>, or
+<i>bulbs</i> of an unusual form, from the al&aelig; of the leaves, which falling
+off in the month of October, when the plant decays, produce young plants
+the ensuing spring.</p>
+
+<p>As it is distinguished from all the known species of <i>Lysimachia</i> by
+this circumstance, we have named it <i>bulbifera</i> instead of <i>stricta</i>,
+under which it appears in the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Some Botanists, whose abilities we revere, are of opinion that the
+trivial names of plants, which are or should be a kind of abridgment of
+the specific character, ought very rarely or never to be changed: we are
+not for altering them capriciously on every trivial occasion, but in
+such a case as the present, where the science is manifestly advanced by
+the alteration, it would surely have been criminal to have preferred a
+name, barely expressive, to one which immediately identifies the plant.</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Lysimachia bulbifera</i> is a hardy perennial, grows spontaneously in
+boggy or swampy ground, and hence requires a moist soil. It flowers in
+August.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_67" id="Page_67">[Pg 67]</a></span></p>

+
+<p>Under the name of <i>Spiderwort</i>, the old Botanists arranged many plants
+of very different genera: the name is said to have arisen from the
+supposed efficacy of some of these plants, in curing the bite of a kind
+of spider, called <i>Phalangium</i>; not the <i>Phalangium</i> of
+<span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span>, which is known to be perfectly harmless: under this
+name, <span class="smcap">Parkinson</span> minutely describes it; he mentions also, how he
+first obtained it.</p>
+
+<p>"This Spiderwort," says our venerable author, "is of late knowledge, and
+for it the Christian world is indebted unto that painful, industrious
+searcher, John Tradescant, who first received it of a friend that
+brought it out of Virginia, and hath imparted hereof, as of many other
+things, both to me and others."</p>
+
+<p><span class="smcap">Tournefort</span> afterwards gave it the name of <i>Ephemerum</i>,
+expressive of the short duration of its flowers, which <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span>
+changed to <i>Tradescantia</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Though a native of Virginia, it bears the severity of our climate
+uninjured, and being a beautiful, as well as hardy perennial, is found
+in almost every garden.</p>
+
+<p>Though each blossom lasts but a day, it has such a profusion in store,
+that it is seldom found without flowers through the whole of the summer.
+There are two varieties of it, the one with white the other with pale
+purple flowers. The most usual way of propagating it is by parting its
+roots in autumn to obtain varieties, we must sow its seeds.<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_70" id="Page_70">[Pg 70]</a></span></p>

+<p>The Candy-Tuft is one of those annuals which contribute generally to
+enliven the borders of the flower-garden: its usual colour is a pale
+purple, there is also a white variety of it, and another with deep but

+garden is large enough to admit of it, all the varieties may be sown.</p>
+
+<p>For want of due discrimination, as <span class="smcap">Miller</span> has before observed,

+another, viz. the <i>amara</i>, and which persons not much skilled in plants
+consider as the white variety; but a slight attention will discover it
+to be a very different plant, having smaller and longer heads, differing
+also in the shape of its leaves and seed vessels, too trifling a plant
+indeed to appear in the flower-garden.</p>
+
+<p>Purple Candy-Tuft is a native of the South of Europe, and flowers in
+June and July: it should be sown in the spring, on the borders of the
+flower-garden in patches; when the plants come up, a few only should be

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the

+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free
+distribution of electronic works, by using or distributing this work
+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+http://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+  And mar the face of beauty, when no cause

+  These Flora banishes, and gives the fair
+  Sweet smiles and bloom, less transient than her own."

+
+The genus of which this charming plant is the most distinguished
+species, has been named in honour of _Lady Anne Monson_. The whole
+family are natives of the Cape, and in their habit and fructification
+bear great affinity to the Geranium. The present species was introduced
+into this country in 1774, by Mr. MASSON.
+
+We received this elegant plant just as it was coming into flower, from
+Mr. COLVILL, Nurseryman, King's-Road, Chelsea, who was so
+obliging as to inform me that he had succeeded best in propagating it by
+planting cuttings of the root in pots of mould, and plunging them in a
+tan-pit, watering them as occasion may require; in due time buds appear
+on the tops of the cuttings left out of the ground.
+
+It rarely or never ripens its seed with us.
+
+Should be treated as a hardy greenhouse plant; may be sheltered even
+under a frame, in the winter.

+
+Receives its name of _triste_ from the sombre appearance of its flowers;
+but this must be understood when placed at some little distance, for, on
+a near view, the principal colour of the blossoms is a fine rich brown,
+inclined to purple.
+
+Is a native of Spain, and of course a greenhouse plant with us, but it
+must not be too tenderly treated, as it loses much of its beauty when
+drawn up, it should therefore be kept out of doors when the season will
+admit, as it only requires shelter from severe frost, and that a common
+hot-bed frame will in general sufficiently afford it.
+
+It flowers during most of the summer months; as it rarely or never
+ripens its seeds with us, the usual mode of propagating it, is by
+cuttings, which strike readily enough in the common way.
+
+MILLER relates that it was first introduced into this country
+by Sir CHARLES WAGER, from Gibraltar seeds.

+
+[Illustration: No 75]
+
+
+Culture is well known to produce great alterations in the appearance of
+most plants, but particularly in those which grow spontaneously on dry
+mountainous situations, and this is strikingly exemplified in the
+present instance, this species of _Potentilla_, becoming in every
+respect much larger, as well as much smoother than in its natural state.
+_Vid._ VAILL. above quoted.
+
+It is a hardy herbaceous plant, a native of Switzerland, Siberia, and
+other parts of Europe, and flowers in July.
+
+LINNAEUS considers it as an annual; MILLER, as a
+biennial; we suspect it to be, indeed have little doubt of its being a
+perennial; having propagated it by parting its roots, but it may be
+raised more successfully from seed.

+
+[Illustration: No 76]
+
+Though the _Epilobium_ here figured has not been many years introduced
+into this country, it is a plant which has long been well known, and
+described.
+
+LINNAEUS makes it a variety only of the _Epilobium
+angustifolium_; HALLER, a distinct species, and in our opinion,
+most justly.
+
+Those who have cultivated the _Epilobium angustifolium_ have cause to
+know that it increases prodigiously by its creeping roots. The present
+plant, so far as we have been able to determine from cultivating it
+several years, in our Garden, Lambeth-Marsh, has not shewn the least
+disposition to increase in the same way, nor have any seedlings arisen
+from the seeds which it has spontaneously scattered: we have, indeed,
+found it a plant rather difficult to propagate, yet it is highly

+It has been suggested by some of our readers, that too many common
+plants, like the present, are figured in this work. We wish it to be
+understood, that the professed design of the Botanical Magazine is to
+exhibit representations of such. We are desirous of putting it in the
+power of all who cultivate or amuse themselves with plants, to become
+scientifically acquainted with them, as far as our labours extend; and
+we deem it of more consequence, that they should be able to ascertain
+such as are to be found in every garden, than such as they may never
+have an opportunity of seeing. On viewing the representations of objects
+of this sort, a desire of seeing the original is naturally excited, and
+the pleasure is greatly enhanced by having it in our power to possess
+it. But, while we are desirous of thus creating Botanists, we are no
+less anxious to gratify the wishes of those already such; and we
+believe, from a perusal of the Magazine, it will appear that one-third
+of the plants figured, have some pretensions to novelty.
+
+The _Centaurea montana_ is a native of the German Alps, flowers during
+the greatest part of the summer, is a hardy perennial, and will grow in

+We shall be thought, perhaps, too partial to this tribe of plants, this
+being the fifth species now figured; but it should be remembered, that
+as the spring does not afford that variety of flowers which the summer
+does, we are more limited in our choice; the flowers of this delightful
+season have also greater claims to our notice, they present themselves
+with double charms.
+
+This species, which, as its name implies, possesses more fragrance than
+many of the others, is a native of the South of Europe, flowers in the

+
+This species of _Lotus_ has been called black-flower'd, not that the

+colour of the foliage contributes not a little to this appearance.
+
+"It grows naturally in the Island of St. James; is too tender to live
+abroad in England, so the plants must be kept in pots, and in the winter
+placed in a warm airy glass cafe, but in the summer they should be
+placed abroad in a sheltered situation. It may be easily propagated by
+cuttings during the summer season, and also by seeds, but the plants
+which have been two or three times propagated by cuttings, seldom are
+fruitful." _Miller's Gard. Dict._

+
+This plant, not less celebrated for its superior efficacy in destroying
+worms[A], than admired for its beauty, is a native of the warmer parts
+of North America; the older Botanists, and even LINNAEUS, at one
+time considered it as a _honeysuckle_, but he has now made a new genus
+of it, which he has named in honour of SPIGELIUS, a Botanist of
+considerable note, author of the _Ifagog. in yem herbar_. published at
+_Leyden_ in 1633.
+
+"This plant is not easily propagated in England, for the roots make but
+slow increase, so that the plant is not very common in the English
+Gardens at present; for although it is so hardy as to endure the cold of
+our ordinary winters in the open air, yet as it does not ripen seeds,
+the only way of propagating it is by parting of the roots; and as these
+do not make much increase by offsets, so the plants are scarce; it
+delights in a moist soil, and must not be often transplanted." _Miller's
+Dict._
+
+The scarcity of this plant, even now, is a proof of the justness of Mr.
+MILLER's observation; it is in fact a very shy plant, and
+scarcely to be kept in this country but by frequent importation.
+
+It flowers in June and July.

+either into nursery-rows, or in the places where they are designed to

+
+To Mr. LEE, of the Vineyard, Hammersmith, the first, and as we
+understand, the only Nurseryman as yet in possession of this plant,
+which has but lately been introduced into this country from the Cape, we
+are indebted for the present specimen.
+
+Mr. JACQUIN, jun. who has figured and described it in the _Acta
+Helvetica_, gives it the name of _Lachenalia_, in honour of WARNERUS
+de la CHENAL, a very eminent Swiss Botanist, and the particular
+friend of the late illustrious HALLER. Our readers should be
+informed, that it had before been called by two other different names,
+viz. _Hyacinthus orchiodes_, and _Phormium aloides_, under the latter of
+which it now stands in the 14th edition of the _Systema Vegetabilium_,
+as well as that of _Lachenalia_.
+
+Its trivial name of _tricolor_ it receives from the three colours
+observable in the flowers; but it must be noticed, that it is only at
+the middle period of its flowering, that these three colours are highly
+distinguishable; as it advances, the brilliant orange of the top flowers
+dies away; the spots on the leaves also, which when the plant is young,
+give it the appearance of an orchis, as it advances into bloom become
+less and less conspicuous.
+
+Like most of the Cape plants, the _Lachenalia_ requires to be sheltered
+in the winter; during that season it must therefore be kept in a
+greenhouse, or hot-bed frame, well secured.
+
+It flowers in the spring, but its blowing may be accelerated by the
+warmth of the stove, for it bears forcing well enough.
+
+It is increased by offsets from the bulbs.

+
+The _Hibiscus syriacus_, known generally by the name of _Althaea frutex_,
+is a native of Syria, and forms one of the chief ornaments of our
+gardens in autumn; we view it, however, with less delight, as it is a
+sure indication of approaching winter.
+
+There are many varieties of it mentioned by authors, as the _purple,
+red-flowered, white-flowered, variegated red and white flowered_, and
+the _striped-flowered_, to which may be added, another variety, lately
+introduced, with double flowers: it varies also in its foliage, which is
+sometimes marked with white, sometimes with yellow.
+
+As from the lateness of its flowering, and the want of sufficient
+warmth, it rarely ripens its seeds with us; the usual mode of increasing
+it is by layers, and sometimes by cuttings; but the best plants are
+raised from seeds. MILLER observes, that the scarce varieties
+may be propagated by grafting them on each other, which is the common
+method of propagating the sorts with striped leaves.
+
+In the time of PARKINSON it was not looked on as a hardy shrub:
+he thus writes,--"they are somewhat tender, and would not be suffered to
+be uncovered in the winter time, or yet abroad in the garden, but kept
+in a large pot or tubbe, in the house or in a warme cellar, if you would
+have them to thrive." _Park. Parad._

+MILLER, who calls it _multifida_ from a former edition of

+The best mode of treating it, will be to place the roots in a pot of

+
+Though an inhabitant of a much warmer climate than our own, it thrives

+As it rarely ripens its seeds with us, it is generally propagated by
+parting its roots in autumn. These are also usually imported from
+Holland, and may be had of the importers of bulbs at a reasonable rate.

+
+This species of Saxifrage differing so widely from the others, both in
+its habit and fructification, as to create a doubt in the minds of some,
+whether it ought not to be considered as a distinct genus, is a native
+of China, and one of the many plants which have been introduced into our
+gardens since the time of MILLER.
+
+Its round variegated leaves, and strawberry-like runners, the uncommon
+magnitude of the two lowermost pendant petals, joined to the very
+conspicuous glandular nectary in the centre of the flower, half
+surrounding the germen, render this species strikingly distinct.
+
+It is properly a greenhouse plant; in mild winters indeed it will bear
+the open air, especially if placed at the foot of a wall, or among
+rock-work; but, in such situations, it is frequently killed in severe
+seasons.
+
+It flowers in May and June, but does not produce its blossoms so freely
+as some others.
+
+No difficulty attends the propagation of it, for it increases so fast by
+its runners, as to be even troublesome.

+
+It appears from the _Hortus Kewensis_, the publication of which is daily
+expected, that the plant here figured was first brought to this country
+from the Canary Islands, by Mr. FRANCIS MASSON, in the year
+1777.
+
+It is highly deserving the notice of the Botanist, not only as being by
+far the least species of the genus, but on account of its Nectaria;
+these, though not mentioned by LINNAEUS in his character of the genus,
+have been described by other authors, particularly JACQUIN and HALLER;
+and though not present in most, and but faintly visible in a few species
+of _Sempervivum_, in this plant form a principal part of the
+fructification; they are usually seven in number, but vary from six to
+eight.
+
+In the specimens we have examined, and which perhaps have been rendered
+luxuriant by culture, the number of stamina has been from twelve to
+sixteen; of styles, from six to eight; of flowers on the same stalk,
+from one to eight.
+
+It flowers during most of the summer months, succeeds very well with the
+common treatment of a greenhouse plant in the summer, but does best in a
+dry stove in the winter.
+
+Is readily increased by parting its roots.

+
+On comparing the present plant with the _Bermudiana graminea flore
+minore coeruleo_ of DILLENIUS, both of which I have growing,
+and now in pots before me, the difference appears so striking, that I am
+induced with him and MILLER to consider them as distinct
+species; especially as, on a close examination, there appear characters
+sufficient to justify me in the opinion, which characters are not
+altered by culture.
+
+It is a native of the Bermudian Islands, and flowers in the open border
+from May to the end of July; it is not uncommon to keep it in the
+greenhouse, for which, from its size &c. it is very well adapted; but it
+is not necessary to treat it tenderly, as it will bear a greater degree
+of cold than many plants usually considered as hardy.
+
+It may be propagated most readily by seeds, or by parting its roots in
+the autumn; should be planted on a border with an eastern aspect; soil
+the same as for bulbs.

+
+This is one of the numerous tribe of _Geraniums_ introduced from the
+Cape since the time of MILLER: it takes the name of _Radula_,
+which is the Latin term for a rasp or file, from the rough rasp-like
+surface of the leaves.
+
+There are two varieties of it, a _major_ and a _minor_, which keep
+pretty constantly to their characters; and as this species is readily
+raised from seeds, it affords also many seminal varieties.
+
+As a Botanist, desirous of seeing plants distinct in their characters,
+we could almost wish it were impossible to raise these _foreign
+Geraniums_ from seeds; for, without pretending to any extraordinary
+discernment, we may venture to prophecy, that in a few years, from the
+multiplication of seminal varieties, springing from seeds casually, or
+perhaps purposely impregnated with the pollen of different sorts, such a
+crop will be produced as will baffle all our attempts to reduce to
+species, or even regular varieties.
+
+Such as are partial to this tribe, will no doubt wish to have this
+species in their collection; the blossoms are pretty, and the foliage is
+singular, but it remains but a short time in flower.

+
+According to MILLER, this species grows naturally in _Jamaica_,
+and most of the other Islands in the _West-Indies_, where it is called

+roundish berries, which, when ripe, turn black, having a pulpy covering

+
+It is readily propagated by cuttings.
+
+Different plants vary greatly in the colour of their blossoms, and the

+
+The present plant is a native of _Chili_, and was introduced to the
+royal gardens at Kew, in the year 1788, by Capt. FIRTH; it
+takes the name of _Fuchsia_ from _Fuchs_ a German Botanist of great
+celebrity, author of the _Historia Stirpium_ in _folio_, published in
+1542, containing five hundred and sixteen figures in wood; and which,
+though mere outlines, express the objects they are intended to
+represent, infinitely better than many laboured engravings of more
+modern times.
+
+Every person who can boast a hot-house will be anxious to possess the
+_Fuchsia_, as it is not only a plant of peculiar beauty, but produces
+its rich pendant blossoms through most of the summer; the petals in the
+centre of the flower are particularly deserving of notice; they somewhat
+resemble a small roll of the richest purple-coloured ribband.
+
+Though this plant will not succeed well in the winter, nor be easily
+propagated unless in a stove, it will flower very well during the summer
+months, in a good greenhouse or hot-bed frame, and though at present
+from its novelty it bears a high price, yet as it is readily propagated,
+both by layers, cuttings, and seeds, it will soon be within the purchase
+of every lover of plants.

+
+This species of _Tropaeolum_ (which like the _majus_ already figured in
+this work, is a native of _Peru_) has long been an inhabitant of our
+gardens; it was the only species we had in the time of PARKINSON, by
+whom it is figured and described; it appears indeed to have been a great
+favourite with that intelligent author, for he says this plant "is of so
+great beauty and sweetnesse withall, that my garden of delight cannot
+bee unfurnished of it, and again the whole flower hath a fine small
+sent, very pleasing, which being placed in the middle of some Carnations
+or Gilloflowers (for they are in flower at the same time) make a
+delicate Tussimusie, as they call it, or Nosegay, both for sight and
+sent."
+
+As the _Passiflora caerulea_, from its superior beauty and hardiness, has
+in a great degree supplanted the _incarnata_, so has the _Tropaeolum
+majus_ the _minus_; we have been informed indeed that it was entirely
+lost to our gardens till lately, when it was reintroduced by Dr.
+J. E. SMITH, who by distributing it to his friends, and the
+Nurserymen near London, has again rendered it tolerably plentiful.
+
+Like the _majus_ it is an annual, though by artificial heat it may be
+kept in a pot through the winter, as usually is the variety of it with
+double flowers; but as it will grow readily in the open air, in warm
+sheltered situations, it should be raised on a hot-bed, like other
+tender annuals, if we wish to have it flower early in the summer,
+continue long in blossom, and produce perfect seeds.

+
+Grows spontaneously in dry situations, in the southernmost parts of
+Europe, where it is shrubby; and in similar situations it is so in some
+degree with us; but on our flower-borders, where it is usually sown, it
+grows so luxuriantly, that the stalks becoming juicy and tender, are
+generally destroyed by our frosts; hence it is an annual from
+peculiarity of circumstance; as such, it is very generally cultivated;
+the flowers exhibit a pretty, innocent appearance, and strongly diffuse
+an agreeable honey-like smell. They continue to blow through most of the
+summer months.
+
+It is a very proper plant for a wall or piece of rock-work; care must be

+
+Mons. L'HERITIER, the celebrated French Botanist, who in the
+number, elegance, and accuracy of his engravings, appears ambitious of
+excelling all his contemporaries, in a work now executing on the family
+of _Geranium_, has thought it necessary to divide that numerous genus
+into three, viz. _Erodium_, _Pelargonium_, and _Geranium_.
+
+The _Erodium_ includes those which LINNAEUS (who noticing the
+great difference in their appearance, had made three divisions of them)
+describes with five fertile stamina, and calls Myrrhina; the
+_Pelargonium_ those with seven fertile stamina, his _Africana_; the
+_Geranium_, those with ten fertile stamina, his _Batrachia_.
+
+They are continued under the class _Monadelphia_, in which they now form
+three different orders, according to the number of their stamina, viz.
+_Pentandria_, _Heptandria_, and _Decandria_. If the principles of the
+Linnaean system had been strictly adhered to, they should perhaps have
+been separated into different classes; for though the _Pelargonium_ is
+Monadelphous, the _Geranium_ is not so; in consequence of this
+alteration, the _Geranium peltatum_ and _radula_, figured in a former
+part of this work, must now be called _Pelargonium peltatum_, and
+_radula_, and the _Geranium Reichardi_ be an _Erodium_.
+
+The leaves of this plant have somewhat the taste of sorrel, whence its
+name, it flowers during most of the summer, and is readily propagated by
+cuttings. MILLER mentions a variety of it with scarlet flowers.
+
+It is a native of the Cape, and known to have been cultivated in Chelsea
+Garden, in the year 1724.

+
+In the spring of the year 1781, I received roots of this plant from Mr.
+ROBERT SQUIBB, then at New-York, which produced flowers the
+ensuing summer, since that time, I have had frequent opportunities of
+observing a very peculiar circumstance in its oeconomy; after
+flowering, instead of producing seeds, it throws out _gemmae vivaces_, or
+_bulbs_ of an unusual form, from the alae of the leaves, which falling
+off in the month of October, when the plant decays, produce young plants
+the ensuing spring.
+
+As it is distinguished from all the known species of _Lysimachia_ by
+this circumstance, we have named it _bulbifera_ instead of _stricta_,
+under which it appears in the _Hortus Kewensis_.
+
+Some Botanists, whose abilities we revere, are of opinion that the
+trivial names of plants, which are or should be a kind of abridgment of
+the specific character, ought very rarely or never to be changed: we are
+not for altering them capriciously on every trivial occasion, but in
+such a case as the present, where the science is manifestly advanced by
+the alteration, it would surely have been criminal to have preferred a
+name, barely expressive, to one which immediately identifies the plant.
+
+The _Lysimachia bulbifera_ is a hardy perennial, grows spontaneously in
+boggy or swampy ground, and hence requires a moist soil. It flowers in
+August.

+
+Under the name of _Spiderwort_, the old Botanists arranged many plants
+of very different genera: the name is said to have arisen from the
+supposed efficacy of some of these plants, in curing the bite of a kind
+of spider, called _Phalangium_; not the _Phalangium_ of
+LINNAEUS, which is known to be perfectly harmless: under this
+name, PARKINSON minutely describes it; he mentions also, how he
+first obtained it.
+
+"This Spiderwort," says our venerable author, "is of late knowledge, and
+for it the Christian world is indebted unto that painful, industrious
+searcher, John Tradescant, who first received it of a friend that
+brought it out of Virginia, and hath imparted hereof, as of many other
+things, both to me and others."
+
+TOURNEFORT afterwards gave it the name of _Ephemerum_,
+expressive of the short duration of its flowers, which LINNAEUS
+changed to _Tradescantia_.
+
+Though a native of Virginia, it bears the severity of our climate
+uninjured, and being a beautiful, as well as hardy perennial, is found
+in almost every garden.
+
+Though each blossom lasts but a day, it has such a profusion in store,
+that it is seldom found without flowers through the whole of the summer.
+There are two varieties of it, the one with white the other with pale
+purple flowers. The most usual way of propagating it is by parting its
+roots in autumn to obtain varieties, we must sow its seeds.

+
+The Candy-Tuft is one of those annuals which contribute generally to
+enliven the borders of the flower-garden: its usual colour is a pale
+purple, there is also a white variety of it, and another with deep but
+very bright purple flowers, the most desirable of the three, but where a
+garden is large enough to admit of it, all the varieties may be sown.
+
+For want of due discrimination, as MILLER has before observed,
+Nurserymen are apt to collect and mix with this species the seeds of
+another, viz. the _amara_, and which persons not much skilled in plants
+consider as the white variety; but a slight attention will discover it
+to be a very different plant, having smaller and longer heads, differing
+also in the shape of its leaves and seed vessels, too trifling a plant
+indeed to appear in the flower-garden.
+
+Purple Candy-Tuft is a native of the South of Europe, and flowers in
+June and July: it should be sown in the spring, on the borders of the
+flower-garden in patches; when the plants come up, a few only should be
+left, as they will thereby become stronger, produce more flowers, and be
+of longer duration.

+A native of the West-Indies, and of Virginia according to

+unnoticed by MILLER.
+
+This species, superior in beauty to many of the genus, is an annual, and
+consequently raised only from seeds, these must be sown in the spring,
+on a hot-bed, and when large enough to transplant, placed separately in
+pots of light loamy earth, then replunged into a moderate hot-bed to
+bring them forward, and in the month of June removed into a warm border,
+where, if the season prove favourable, they will flower very well
+towards August; but, as such seldom ripen their seeds, it will be proper
+to keep a few plants in the stove or greenhouse for that purpose,
+otherwise the species may be lost.

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
