+
+The _Monarda fistulosa_, a hardy herbaceous plant, growing spontaneously
+in Canada, and other parts of North-America, has long been cultivated in
+the English gardens, to which it recommends itself as much by the
+fragrance of its foliage, as the beauty of its flowers; of this species
+the plant here figured is an uncommonly beautiful variety, its blossoms
+far surpassing those of the original in size, as well as brilliancy of
+colour, the floral leaves also are highly coloured; we have represented
+a single blossom of the common _Monarda fistulosa_, that the difference
+of the two may be rendered obvious.
+
+This variety has been very lately introduced from Holland, by Messrs.
+GRIMWOOD and Co. Kensington; it flowers from June to September,
+and is propagated by parting its roots in spring or autumn.

+
+This species of St. John's-Wort, particularly distinguished by the
+largeness of its flowers, has very generally been considered as the
+_Ascyron_ of LINNÆUS, owing to his giving to that plant the
+synonyms which properly belong to the present one: in his _Mantissa_,
+this species is called _calycinum_, which name is adopted in the 14th
+edition of the _Systema Vegetabilium_, and also in the _Hortus
+Kewensis_, where the proper synonyms are applied to it, and from which
+we learn, that it is a native of the country near Constantinople, and
+was introduced into this country by Sir GEORGE WHELER, Bart. in
+1676.
+
+It is a hardy perennial, increasing much by its roots, which are of the
+creeping kind, and by parting of which in the autumn it is most readily
+propagated; like the periwinkle, it is a plant well adapted to cover a
+bank, or bare, spots under trees, where other plants will not thrive.
+
+It flowers from July to September.

+
+[Illustration: No 147]
+
+The _Dais cotinifolia_ is an ornamental Green-house Shrub, of the
+deciduous kind, and though it appears from the _Hortus Kewensis_ to have
+been introduced by Mr. JAMES GORDON, of Mile-End, in 1776, is
+yet a great rarity with us, and only to be found in some of the first
+collections.
+
+Its scarcity, and consequent very high price, is attributed to the
+Nursery-men's not having yet discovered the means of propagating it
+freely.
+
+Messrs. GRIMWOOD and Co. of Kensington, have some very fine
+plants of it, which flower every year in the months of June and July,
+but as yet have produced no perfect seeds, which they may be expected to
+do when grown older; such having been known to ripen them in Holland.
+
+It is a native of the Cape, and appears to have been long possessed by
+the Dutch, as its Generic Character taken from D. V. ROYEN, is
+printed in the Genera Plantarum of LINNÆUS in 1764.
+
+There are only two known species, and they vary in the number of their
+Stamina, and divisions of the Corolla.

+
+Though long since described, we have been in possession of this species
+of Crane's-Bill but a few years; it is one of the many new ones
+introduced by Mr. MASSON from the Cape, and at the same time
+one of the most desirable, as its blossoms which are ornamental, are
+freely produced during most of the summer, and the plant itself is
+readily propagated by cuttings.
+
+The flowers vary considerably, both in size, and colour; its foliage is
+different from that of most others, and, as its name imports, like that
+of the Birch-Tree.
+
+It requires the same treatment as most other Green-House Plants.

+
+ZINNIA _multiflora_ floribus pedunculatis. _Linn. Syst. Veg. ed. 14.
+ Murr. p. 777._
+
+[Illustration: No 149]
+
+The _Zinnia, multiflora_, a native of Louisania, is a plant of more
+modern introduction, but requires the same treatment, and flowers at the
+same time, as the _Tagetes patula_, with which, though far inferior in
+brilliancy of colour, it contributes to decorate the borders of the
+flower-garden from June to September.
+
+There is a variety of it with yellow flowers, nearly as common in our
+gardens as the present plant.
+
+LINNÆUS gave to this genus the name of ZINNIA, in
+honour of JOH. GOTTFR. ZINN, the pupil of HALLER, and
+his successor at the University of Gottingen.
+
+The plant we have figured, answers to the name and to the specific
+description of LINNÆUS'S _multiflora_; having never seen his
+_pauciflora_, we cannot say whether there be any just cause for
+suspecting them to be varieties of each other.

+
+For richness and variety of tints few flowers can vie with this species
+of Tagetes, which forms one of the chief ornaments of our gardens at the
+close of summer.
+
+Some authors make it a native of Africa, others of America.
+
+Two principal varieties are usually kept in the gardens, the common
+small sort with a strong disagreeable smell, and a larger one here
+figured, usually called sweet-scented, the former is of more humble
+growth, its branches more spreading, its blossoms smaller than those of
+the latter, the flowers of which have usually a greater portion of the
+yellow tint, and the smell of the other so modified as to be far less
+disagreeable; sweet-scented we fear it can scarcely be called: from the
+seed of both sorts some flowers will be produced extremely double, and
+others single.
+
+MILLER recommends the seed to be frequently changed, to prevent
+them from degenerating.
+
+It is one of our tender annuals which require to be raised on a gentle
+hot-bed, if we are desirous of having them early; if that be not an
+object, they may be sown under a common hand-glass on a warm border the
+beginning of May, and, when large enough, planted out in the
+flower-beds, where they are to remain.
+
+DODONÆUS observes, that the leaves, if held up to the light,
+appear as if perforated; and he adduces some instances, which prove the
+plant to be of a poisonous nature.

+
+Plants which draw their support from other living ones, of which there
+are numerous instances, are by Botanists termed parasitical, and of this
+kind are most of the present family; deriving their generic name, which
+is of Greek extraction, from growing on trees, into the bark of which
+they fix their roots; some of them are also found to grow on dead wood,
+as the present plant, which is described by Sir HANS SLOANE, in
+his history of Jamaica, _V. 1. p. 250. t. 121. f. 2._ as not only
+growing plentifully on trees, but also on the palisadoes of St. Jago de
+la Vega.
+
+Instances of these plants flowering in England are very rare; Commodore
+GARDNER, in the year 1789, presented to the Apothecaries
+company some roots of this plant, taken up in the woods of Jamaica with
+great care, and which being successfully treated by Mr.
+FAIRBAIRN in their garden at Chelsea, one of them threw up a
+flowering stem last February, from whence our drawing was made.
+
+Mr. FAIRBAIRN planted the roots in pots of earth, composed of
+rotten wood and decayed leaves, plunging them into the tan-bed of a pit
+of considerable size.
+
+In its fructification, the Epidendrum obviously agrees with the Orchis
+tribe, but differs essentially in the oeconomy of its roots; in the
+Orchis the roots spring from the crown of the bulb, which is formed in
+the earth; in the Epidendrum the bulb, or the part which appears to be
+analogous to a bulb, though of a green colour, is produced above ground,
+while the roots or fibres proceed from below it.

+
+The excellent and learned CLUSIUS, in the second appendix to
+his history of rare plants, gives a very good figure of this plant, both
+in flower and seed, accompanied with its history; our PARKINSON
+also represents it in his _Parad. terr._ and gives such a minute
+description of it, as convinces us he must have cultivated it at the
+time he wrote: Mr. MILLER appears not to have been well
+acquainted with it, or he would not have described its root to be like
+that of the Snowdrop; had he said Colchicum, he would not have misled:
+RETZIUS also in his Bot. Obs. gives a figure of it with the
+flower dissected.
+
+The _Bulbocodium_, of which there is only one species, is a mountainous
+plant, a native of Spain, and flowers in the open ground at the same
+time as the Crocus, for a purple variety of which it might easily be
+mistaken at first sight; but it differs from the Crocus in having six
+stamina, and from the Colchicum, to which it is very nearly allied, in
+having one style instead of three.
+
+It is at present a rare plant in our gardens, which we attribute to its
+bulbs not admitting of much increase, as well as to its being liable to
+be killed by frost, and hence requiring more care than it may be thought
+entitled to from its appearance.
+
+It varies in the colour of its flowers.

+
+The _Saponaria Ocymoides_ has been figured in the appendix to the fifth
+volume of the _Flora Austriaca_ in its wild state, as in similar works
+every plant is expected to be; our figure represents a branch of it
+only, taken (as all ours in this work professedly are) from a garden
+specimen which grew on a wall of a particular construction in our garden
+at Brompton, and of which it was the principal ornament through the
+months of May, June, and July, during most of which time it was covered
+with a profusion of bloom[1].
+
+Though it produces blossoms in abundance, it affords but little seed,
+but may be increased by slips or cuttings.
+
+It is a hardy perennial, a native of France, Italy, Switzerland, and
+Carinthia, loves a pure air and a dry situation[2], grows best among
+rocks, stones, or out of a wall, and certainly is one of the best plants
+imaginable for ornamenting of rock-work.
+
+I received seeds of it, and many other rare plants, from my very kind
+friend Mr. DAVAL, of Orbe, in Switzerland.

+
+The _Oxalis-versicolor_ is considered as one of the most beautiful of
+the many species cultivated in gardens; and, though well known to, and
+described by several of the older Botanists, has graced our collections
+but a few years, being introduced to the Royal Garden at Kew, from the
+Cape (where, as well as in Ethiopia, it grows spontaneously) by Mr.
+MASSON, in the Year 1774.
+
+Many of this genus flower early in the spring, the season in which this
+species also puts forth its blossoms, but by dexterous management it may
+be made to flower during most of the year; and this is effected by
+placing the pea-like tubera or knobs which the root sends forth, and by
+which the plant is propagated, in pots filled with loam and bog-earth at
+stated distant periods.
+
+Like most of the Cape plants, it is well adapted to the greenhouse, and
+succeeds best when placed on a front shelf of the house, where it can
+have plenty of light and air; some keep it in the stove, but there the
+plant is drawn up, and the flowers lose a part of their brilliancy: in
+no situation do they ever expand but when the sun shines on them; this
+is the less to be regretted, as they are most beautiful when closed.

+The _Coreopsis verticillata_ is a hardy, perennial, herbaceous plant, a
+native of North-America; producing its blossoms, which are uncommonly
+shewy, from July to October, and is readily propagated by parting its
+roots in Autumn.
+
+It grows to a great height, and is therefore rather adapted to the
+shrubbery than the flower-garden.

+CHORLEY, of Tottenham, to whose lady my collection stands indebted for
+several rare and valuable plants.
+
+This species increases sufficiently fast by offsets, but in the open
+border does not very readily produce flowering stems: as both it and the
+_racemosus_ are apt to become troublesome in a garden from their great
+increase, we would recommend their bulbs to be placed in moderately
+sized pots filled with light earth, and plunged in the borders where
+they are designed to flower; in the autumn they should be regularly
+taken out, the offsets thrown away, and about half a dozen of the
+largest bulbs left, all of which will most probably flower at the usual
+time, the end of March or beginning of April.
+
+PARKINSON, who most admirably describes this and the _racemosus_,
+enumerates three varieties, viz. the _white_, the _blush-coloured_, and
+the _branched_; the first is frequently imported with other bulbs from
+Holland, the second and third we have not seen; the latter, if we may
+judge from PARKINSON'S _fig._ in his _Parad._ is a most curious plant,
+and was obtained, as CLUSIUS reports, from seeds of the white variety;
+whether it now exists is deserving of inquiry.
+
+The _botryoides_ differs from the _racemosus_, in having its leaves
+upright, its bunch of flowers smaller, the flowers themselves larger,
+rounder, of a paler and brighter blue.

+
+RUMPHIUS in his _Herbarium Amboinense_ gives an excellent
+account of this beautiful native of the East-Indies, accompanied by a
+representation of it with double flowers, in which state it is more
+particularly cultivated in all the gardens in India, as well as China;
+he informs us that it grows to the full size of our hazel, and that it
+varies with white flowers.
+
+The inhabitants of India, he observes, are extremely partial to whatever
+is red, they consider it as a colour which tends to exhilarate; and
+hence they not only cultivate this plant universally in their gardens,
+but use its flowers on all occasions of festivity, and even in their
+sepulchral rites: he mentions also an oeconomical purpose to which the
+flowers are applied, little consistent with their elegance and beauty,
+that of blacking shoes, whence their name of _Rosæ calceolariæ_; the
+shoes, after the colour is imparted to them, are rubbed with the hand,
+to give them a gloss, and which thereby receives a blueish tinge, to
+discharge which they have recourse to lemon juice.
+
+With us it is kept in the stove, where it thrives and flowers readily
+during most of the summer; the single blossoms last but a short time,
+yet their superiority arising from the curious and beautiful structure
+of the interior parts of the flower, compensates for the shortness of
+their duration.
+
+It is usually increased by cuttings.

+As this plant has very generally obtained in gardens and nurseries the
+name of yellow Alyssum, we have retained it; for though it is not the
+only one of the genus which produces yellow flowers, it may still be
+called yellow by way of eminence, such is the extreme brilliancy and
+profusion of its blossoms.
+
+It is a native of Crete, and was first cultivated in this country by Mr.
+MILLER, in 1731[3], at Chelsea garden.
+
+It begins to flower about the latter end of April, and continues to
+blossom through great part of May; and it is not uncommon for it to
+flower again in autumn.
+
+If it has a pure air and a dry situation, it will grow in almost any
+soil.
+
+The usual mode of propagating it is by slips, or cuttings. As it is a
+small, shewy, hardy plant, and not disposed to over-run others, it is
+very suitable to embellish rock-work.

+MILLER informs us in his Dictionary, that the _Pulmonaria

+North-America, that the seeds were sent many years since by Mr.
+BANISTER, from Virginia; and some of the plants were raised in
+the garden of the Bishop of London, at Fulham, where for several years
+it was growing.
+
+Though a native of Virginia, it ranks with the hardy herbaceous plants
+of our gardens, and flowers in the open border about the middle of
+April; the blossoms before their expansion are of a reddish purple
+colour, when fully blown they become of a light bright blue, the foliage
+is glaucous, or blueish green; it is said to vary with white and
+flesh-coloured flowers.
+
+In favourable seasons, the Flower-Garden owes much of its gaiety to this
+elegant plant, and at a time when ornament is most desirable.
+
+It requires a pure air, and a situation moderately sheltered, as the
+cold easterly winds which too readily prevail in April, when it is in
+flower, are apt to deface it.
+
+It is usually propagated by parting its roots in autumn, and is a free
+grower.

+
+Though the Sanguinaria cannot be considered as a handsome shewy plant,

+there is something in it to admire, from the time that its leaves emerge
+from the ground, and embosom the infant blossom, to their full
+expansion, and the ripening of its seed vessels.
+
+The woods of Canada, as well as of other parts of North-America, produce
+this plant in abundance with us it flowers in the beginning of April:
+its blossoms are fugacious, and fully expand only in fine warm weather.
+It is a hardy perennial, and is usually propagated by parting its roots
+in autumn; a situation moderately shady, and a soil having a mixture of
+bog-earth or rotten leaves in it suits it best.
+
+Its knobby roots, when broken asunder, pour forth a juice of a bright
+red or orange colour, whence its name of Sanguinaria: with this liquid
+the Indians are said to paint themselves.
+
+DILLENIUS, has figured it in his admirable work, the Hortus
+Elthamensis, where three varieties of it are represented, viz. a large
+one, a small one, and one in which the petals are multiplied, but which

+English ear.
+
+Mr. AITON has given to this species the name of

+It seldom exceeds a foot in height, and, on this account, may be

+cuttings or layers; succeeds best in a pure air and a situation
+moderately dry.

+This species of Ranunculus, an inhabitant of the dry pastures South of

+equal to most.
+
+It was introduced to the Royal Garden, at Kew, from the Cape, by Mr.
+MASSON, in 1774.
+
+There are several varieties of it, but the one here figured is the most
+beautiful.

+
+LINNÆUS has described this plant minutely in his _Mantissa
+Plant_, so that no doubt remains of its being his _maritimus_.
+
+With us, it has been customary for Gardeners and Nurserymen to
+distinguish this species by the name of Virginia Stock, a name highly
+improper, as it is found to be a native of the Mediterranean coast.
+
+The blossoms which this plant first puts forth are of a lively red, in a
+few days they become of a blueish purple colour; to this variety of hues
+the plant owes its chief beauty.
+
+Being of humble growth, and producing a profusion of bloom, which is of
+long duration, it is frequently used as an edging to borders, and
+sometimes sown in little patches with other annuals; in whatever way
+used, it contributes greatly to enliven the borders of the
+flower-garden.
+
+It is one of those annuals whose seeds should be sown in the autumn, as
+it thereby comes much forwarder into bloom, and its blossoms are more
+lively than those arising from seeds sown in the spring; by varying the
+time of sowing, it may be had to flower in spring, summer, and autumn.
+
+Small pots of it in bloom have a pretty appearance, and may be used to
+decorate the windows of those who reside in cities or great towns, where
+the pleasures of the garden are not to be enjoyed.

+
+The magnificent and highly curious species of Sophora here represented,

+
+A finer sight can scarcely be imagined than a tree of this sort,
+extending to a great breadth on a wall with a western aspect, in the
+Apothecaries Garden at Chelsea, where it was planted by Mr.
+FORSYTH about the year 1774, and which at this moment (April
+28, 1791) is thickly covered with large pendulous branches of yellow, I
+had almost said golden flowers; for they have a peculiar richness, which
+it is impossible to represent in colouring; in the winter care is taken
+to cover it carefully with mats, least it should suffer from any
+extraordinarily severe weather.
+
+It usually produces a few seed vessels of an uncommon form, having four
+wings, whence its name of _tetraptera_; from some of the seeds which
+have ripened in this country plants have been raised, and by these the
+plant is found to be propagated with the most success; it may also be
+increased by cuttings and layers.

+We have our doubts whether the plant here figured be the _pavonia_ of

+description there given, as we could wish; as such however it has been
+regarded by some here, and it must be allowed to answer extremely well
+to the name.
+
+It is a small delicate Iris, about a foot and a half high, with very
+narrow leaves, bearing on the top of the stalk one or at most two
+flowers, three of the petals are large and white, with a brilliant blue
+spot at the base of each, edged on the outer side with deep purple; the

+
+It will appear strange, we presume, to most of our readers, when they
+are informed, that the _Ixora coccinea_, a plant at present in few
+hands, and which a short time since was sold in some of our nurseries
+for five guineas, should have been known in this country a hundred years
+ago; and yet Mr. AITON, who has so laudably exerted himself, in
+ascertaining the precise period, when most of the exotics cultivated in
+the royal garden at Kew first made their appearance in Great-Britain,
+informs us on very respectable authority, that this plant was introduced
+by Mr. BENTICK in 1690.
+
+There is every reason to suppose, that this splendid exotic did not long
+survive its introduction; on inquiry, we learn that it was reintroduced
+about fifteen years ago, by the late Dr. JOHN FOTHERGILL, a
+name, to medicine and botany ever dear, in whose rich and magnificent
+collection at Upton was first known to flower; about the same time, the
+late Mr. THOBURN, Nurseryman at Brompton, raised a few Ixoras
+from foreign seeds, and from these (an accident having happened to the
+plant which was Dr. FOTHERGILL'S) are said to have arisen the
+plants at present in this country.
+
+Both RHEEDE and RUMPHIUS describe and figure this
+plant in their respective works, the _Hortus Malabaricus_ and _Herbarium
+Amboinense_; it is mentioned also by several other authors: from their
+various accounts we discover, that in different parts of India, where it
+grows wild, it forms a slender shrub, or tree, about six feet high,
+rising generally with a single stem; that its clusters of flowers, seen
+from afar are so brilliant as to resemble a burning coal, especially in
+a dark wood, whence its name of _Flamma Sylvarum_; that it grows in the
+woods, and flowers in September and October, producing a black fruit,
+the size of small cherries, on which the peacocks are supposed to feed,
+and from whence they have obtained the name of _Cerasa Pavonina_. The
+Chinese call it _Santanhoa_; with them it produces flowers and fruit the
+year through, and they hold the blossoms in such veneration, as to use
+them in the sacrifices they make to their idol IXORA, whence
+LINNÆUS has taken the name applied by him to this genus. The
+root is said to possess some acrimony, and to be made use of by the
+natives in curing the toothach.
+
+It is customary in this country, to treat the _Ixora_ as a stove plant;
+perhaps it may be less tender than we are aware of; it flowers in July
+and August, but has not been known to produce fruit; is increased from
+cuttings, without much difficulty.
+
+Our drawing was taken from a small but very healthy plant in the stove
+of Mr. WHITLEY (late THOBURN and WHITLEY, Brompton).
+
+LINNÆUS describes, and some authors figure this plant with
+stipulæ, which our plant had not, not being arrived at an age, perhaps,
+to produce them.

+In that elaborate and inestimable work, the _Hortus Malabaricus_, we
+have a good figure of the plant here exhibited, accompanied by a minute
+description; the author informs us that it grows spontaneously in India,
+attaining the height even of five or six feet, and affecting a sandy
+soil; the natives consider it as an antidote to poisons in general, and
+regard the bruised root as peculiarly efficacious in curing the bite of
+the serpent, called Cobra de Copella.
+
+We raised plants of it last year from seeds imparted to us by J.
+IBBETTSON, Esq. of the Admiralty; this year, during the months of
+August and September, many of them have flowered, and capsules are
+forming which have every appearance of producing perfect seeds; the root
+of this plant is yellow, and tuberous like that of the Iris, the leaves
+also greatly resemble those of that tribe, it grows to the height of
+about three feet, and produces a considerable number of flowers in
+succession each of which is of short duration.
+
+The root and radical leaves as represented on the plate are much smaller
+than in plants which have been long established.
+
+Our plants stood in pots in the open ground through the winter of 1790-1
+without injury, but it must be remembered, that the weather during that
+period was uncommonly mild; it will be safest therefore to consider
+it as a tender herbaceous plant.
+
+It differs so much in its fructification from many others of the genus,
+that Prof. MURRAY has considered it as a _Moræa_, with which,
+in our humble opinion, it has scarcely any affinity.

+Few of the plants of this genus have been thought to possess sufficient
+beauty for the flower-garden, the present one excepted, the magnificence
+of whose blossoms justly entitles it to rank with the more curious, if
+not the most beautiful of the vegetable tribes.
+
+Though not common in our gardens, it has long been introduced, having
+been cultivated and accurately described, though badly figured, by
+PARKINSON in his _Parad. terr._
+
+It grows spontaneously in the woods of Italy and Hungary, and flowers
+with us about the latter end of April, at which time, if cold winds
+prevail, it is apt to be injured, unless placed in a sheltered part of
+the garden.
+
+It may be propagated either by seeds, or by parting its roots in autumn,
+is a hardy plant and grows readily.

+
+This genus, of which there is only one known species, has been named by
+the younger LINNÆUS, in honour of Mr. WILLIAM AITON, author of the
+_Hortus Kewensis_, and Botanic Gardener to his Majesty. The great length
+of time[5], Mr. AITON has been engaged in the cultivation of plants, the
+immense numbers which have been the constant objects of his care through
+every period of their growth, joined to his superior discernment, give
+him a decided superiority in the _prima facie_ knowledge of living
+plants over most Botanists the present day; his abilities in the other
+line of his profession, are displayed in the eulogies of all who have
+seen the royal collection at Kew, which he has the honour to
+superintend.
+
+The Aitonia is a native of the Cape, and was introduced by Mr.
+MASSON, in the year 1774.
+
+It is a greenhouse shrub of slow growth, seldom exceeding three feet in
+height; producing, when of sufficient age, flowers and fruit through
+most of the year; the fruit is a large dry angular berry, of a fine red
+colour.
+
+Our drawing was made from a very fine plant, formerly Dr. FOTHERGILL'S,
+now in the collection of Messrs. GRIMWOOD and Co. Kensington.
+
+It is only to be raised from seeds, which are sparingly produced in this
+country.

+
+Mr. ADAM BUDDLE, in honour of whom the present genus has been
+originally named by Dr. HOUSTON, was an ingenious English
+Botanist, cotemporary with, and the friend of PETIVER; his name
+is often mentioned in the _Synopsis_ of Mr. RAY and his _Hortus
+Siccus_, or dried collection of British plants, preserved in the British
+Museum, still resorted to in doubtful cases.
+
+The present species not enumerated either by LINNÆUS or
+MILLER, is a native of Chili, and according to the _Hort. Kew._
+was introduced by Messrs. KENNEDY and LEE, in 1774.
+
+It has been customary, in consideration of its native place of growth,
+to treat it here as a greenhouse plant, for which situation it soon
+becomes unfit from its magnitude; some have ventured to plant it in the
+open borders in warm sheltered situations, where it has been found to
+succeed very well, producing its beautiful yellow blossoms in abundance;
+care must be taken, however, to guard it carefully from severe frosts,
+which are apt to destroy it.
+
+It flowers in May and June, and is usually propagated by cuttings or
+layers.

+
+Professor KALM (in honour of whom LINNÆUS, as before
+has been observed, named this genus of plants) in his travels into
+North-America, published in English by Mr. FORSTER, relates
+that he found this species in various provinces of that extensive
+continent, as Pensylvania, New-Jersey, and New-York, growing most
+commonly on the sides of hills, sometimes in woods; that it flourished
+most on the northern sides of the hills, especially where they were
+intersected by rivulets; he observes, that when all the other trees had
+lost their ornaments, this enlivened the woods by the verdure of its
+foliage, and that about the month of May, it was covered with a
+profusion of blossoms of unrivalled beauty.

+
+Of the Laburnum, our nurseries afford two principal varieties, the broad
+and narrow-leav'd; the latter (which is the one here figured) Mr. MILLER
+was induced to make a species of under the name of _alpinum_; it
+certainly differs very materially from the broad-leav'd one, yet is most
+probably only a seminal variety; the Laburnum figured in its wild state
+by Professor JACQUIN, in his _Flora Austriaca_, has much broader leaves
+than ours, no mention is made by him of its being subject to vary.
+
+Both MILLER and HANBURY recommend the Laburnum to be cultivated not only
+as an ornamental but as a timber tree, the wood having a very close
+grain, a good colour, and bearing a high polish;[6] they urge in its
+favour, that it is very hardy, a quick grower, and one that will thrive
+in almost any soil; the latter says, it will become a timber tree of
+more than a yard in girt: whatever success may attend its cultivation
+for the more useful purposes, as a hardy, deciduous, ornamental tree, it
+has long been the pride of our shrubberies and plantations.
+
+It blossoms in May, and is usually very productive of seeds, by which it
+may be propagated most readily.
+
+Hares and rabbits being fond of its bark, do great damage to plantations
+of Laburnum, especially in severe weather; I remember somewhere to have
+read, that these animals will not touch a tree if soot has been placed
+about it; perhaps, a circle drawn round the base of the tree with the
+new coal tar, which has a powerful smell of long duration, might keep
+off these noxious animals.
+
+The Professor does not mention the precise height which he had observed
+these trees to attain in North-America, but it is evident that they
+acquire a considerable thickness, as the wood of the root as well as the
+body of the tree is manufactured into various utensils by the natives,
+and by the Indians into spoons in particular, whence it has obtained the
+name of the _Spoon Tree_.
+
+The leaves have been found to prove poisonous to kine, horses, and
+sheep, but the deer are observed to brouse on them with impunity.
+
+PETER COLLINSON, Esq. who was highly instrumental in enriching
+this country with the native plants of North-America, is said to have
+introduced this elegant species about the year 1734.
+
+With us it succeeds best when planted with a northern aspect, well
+sheltered, in a soil composed of loam and bog earth, in a situation
+moderately moist, where the air is perfectly pure.
+
+Being with difficulty propagated by suckers or layers, it is most
+commonly raised from American seeds.

+
+This species (much inferior in size to the _latifolia_, as it rarely
+exceeds two feet in height) is a native of Newfoundland, where it was
+discovered by Sir JOSEPH BANKS, Bart. and by him introduced to
+this country in the year 1767.
+
+It is of course not described by Mr. MILLER, nor is it mentioned the in
+the 14th edition of LINNÆUS'S _Syst. Vegetab._ by Professor MURRAY; in
+the _Hort. Kew._ of Mr. AITON, it is both described and figured.
+
+It flowers in April and May, is propagated in the same manner and
+requires the same treatment as the _latifolia_.

+There is an elegance and neatness in most of this tribe, and none
+possess those qualities in a greater degree than the present species,
+which is a charming little evergreen, admirably adapted for the
+greenhouse, as it forms a pretty bulb, and flowers during most of the
+summer.
+
+It grows spontaneously in the South of Europe, and many parts of the
+Levant; HONORIUS BELLUS, in his epistle CLUSIUS (_vid. Clus. op_.)
+describes it as growing on the hilly parts of the island of Crete.

+[Illustration: No 179]
+
+The term _sempervirens_ applied to this plant by LINNÆUS,
+originated in the description given of it by CORNUTUS; (_vid.
+Syn_.) the impropriety of calling an annual plant (for such it
+undoubtedly is with us, and must be in Canada, its native place of
+growth) an _evergreen_, has appeared to us too glaring to be continued;
+we have thought the promotion of the science required a change in the
+name, and have therefore altered it to that of _glauca_, as coinciding
+with the English name of _glaucous_, given it by Mr. AITON in
+his _Hortus Kewensis_; for to the delicate, pleasing, glaucous hue of
+its foliage, it owes its beauty, as much as to the lively colours of its
+blossoms.
+
+It is a hardy annual, coming up spontaneously in the open border where
+it has once flowered and seeded, and sometimes reaching the height of
+two feet.
+
+It flowers from June to September.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us of its having been cultivated by Mr.
+JAMES SUTHERLAND in the year 1683. Strange! that it should yet
+be a rarity in our gardens.

+Whether the variety of the Azalea nudiflora here figured, was originally
+introduced to this country by Mrs. NORMAN of Bromley in Kent,
+or Mr. BEWICK of Clapham in Surrey (both celebrated for their
+collections of American plants) we cannot with certainty assert; true it
+is, the Azalea coccinea was little known here till the sale of Mr.
+BEWICK'S plant in 1722; a considerable number of these shrubs
+formed the choicest part of that collection, and sold at high prices,
+one of them produced twenty guineas: prior to this period, Mr.
+BEWICK had presented one of the same sort of shrubs to Mr.
+THOBURN, the fruits of whose skill and assiduous care in the
+cultivation of American plants are apparent in his late nursery at
+Brompton, now Mr. WHITLEY'S, and from the produce of which
+plant our figure was taken.
+
+The original species, found abundantly in the more southern parts of
+North-America, was introduced, according to Mr. AITON'S
+account, by PETER COLLINSON, Esq. about the year 1724.
+
+The brilliancy of colour and a happy combination of form, unite in
+rendering the variety here figured, one of the most beautiful plants in
+nature: yet it wants the fragrance of some of the varieties of the
+_viscosa_.
+
+It flowers in June and continues in blossom about three weeks, requires
+a sheltered but not too shady a situation, more dry than moist, and a
+soil composed of loam and bog earth, or rotten leaves.
+
+The usual mode of propagating it is by layers; care must be taken not to
+remove the offspring too soon from the mother plant.

+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement

+
+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.

+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

+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+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.

+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 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.
