S., - -_&c. &c. &c._ - - - MY DEAR SIR, - -In dedicating this Work to you, I am not presumptuous enough to believe -that I can offer anything novel in a botanical point of view, though -I am sure you are too generous a patron of the science to discourage -any effort, however feeble, which has for its object the diffusion -of a taste for such pursuits: my motives, however, are not of this -nature; I would offer it to you as a mark of respect and affection, but -more particularly of gratitude, for the warm attachment you have ever -evinced towards me, which has contributed so much to the happiness of -my life. With these sentiments, allow me to subscribe myself, - - Your affectionate Daughter, - - M. R. - - TOXTETH PARK, - _March, 1829_. - - - - -PREFACE. - - -The present state of botanical knowledge renders it impossible for the -Author of this Work to indulge in a hope, that she can add anything to -the learning and research which distinguish the science: as a humble -follower of those who have added so much to our information on these -subjects, she would walk in their delightful paths, and gather some of -those objects of beauty which lie scattered around her. To endeavour to -place them in an attractive form--to attach to them useful and accurate -information--has been her pleasing task; and she will be amply rewarded -if she should be the means of affording any encouragement, particularly -among her own sex, to a taste for botanical pursuits. One of our -greatest philosophers has declared a "Garden to be among the purest of -human pleasures"; and if we look for a still higher sanction--we have -the divine command to - - "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow." - -There is no pursuit which fills the mind with more noble and exalted -sentiments than the study of these works of Nature:--wherever we turn -our attention, we shall discover in them ample lessons of instruction -and delight; in the structure of every plant, we shall find the most -exact symmetry, and the most perfect contrivance--and the more minutely -we examine, the more decided traces we discern of that Power - - "Who planned, and built, and still upholds a world - So clothed with beauty." - -The gratification to be derived from such pursuits, is heightened by -considerations like these, and their utility and value are rendered -still more evident. To use the language of the late excellent and -distinguished SIR JAMES E. SMITH, "Is it not desirable to call the soul -from the feverish agitation of worldly pursuits, to the contemplation -of divine wisdom in the beautiful economy of Nature? Is it not a -privilege to walk with God in the garden of creation, and hold converse -with his providence? If such elevated feelings do not lead to the -study of Nature, it cannot be far pursued without rewarding the student -by exciting them." - -In the arrangement of this Work, the Author has aimed at some degree -of novelty in the design, as well as of utility in the information. To -her own sex, to whose particular notice she offers it, she trusts it -may prove a useful and correct guide to their tastes, both in their -selection for a flower garden, and as objects for their pencil. She -has chosen those plants most remarkable for their beauty, and general -adaptation to our borders--and, in order to render the Work more -complete, she has added to every genus those species most desirable for -cultivation. - -The Author cannot conclude, without expressing her obligations for the -assistance afforded her by her friend MR. SHEPHERD, Curator of the -Botanic Garden, Liverpool; and her thanks are particularly due to his -able and intelligent coadjutor, MR. HENRY SHEPHERD, F.L.S. - - TOXTETH PARK, - _March, 1829_. - - - - -SPRING. - - - "------------------Bright with dew, - And in a mingled wilderness of flowers, - Fair-handed Spring unbosoms every grace; - With hues on hues expression cannot paint - The breath of Nature, and her endless bloom." - - _Thomson's Seasons._ - -[Illustration: _Plate 1._ _Crocus._ -_Drawn from Nature by M.R._ _Engraved by R.

Lon._ _vol._ ii., _tab._ 106. - - Bulb small--leaves numerous, radical, linear, lanceolate--flower - enclosed with the leaves in a membranous sheath---corolla yellow, - divided into six oval-shaped petals, the three outer divisions - beautifully marked with green--stamens three--filaments short--anthers - sagittate--style one--stigma divided into three parts. - - -The species here figured is the earliest and best known in our gardens. -It was introduced into this country in the year 1629, and derives its -specific denomination from the ancient name of that part of Europe -where it abounds in a wild state. Numerous varieties of the genus are -constantly raised from seed, but the number of distinct species do not -exceed ten or twelve. The cultivation of these plants is attended with -no difficulty whatever: they will grow in any soil or situation; and -the C. mæsiacus increases so rapidly as to require frequent parting. -The different varieties make a beautiful display in the months of -February and March, if placed in alternate patches in the flower -border, and produce a brilliant effect when expanded by the warmth -of the sun. The most desirable for a flower garden are the following -species and their varieties:-- - - Crocus vernus. - ---- versicolor. - ---- nudiflorus. - ---- biflorus. - Crocus susianus. - ---- sulphureus. - ---- sativus. - ---- autumnalis. - - Pl. 1. - - - - -[Illustration: _Plate 2._ _Hepatica Triloba._ -_Drawn from Nature by M.R._ _Engraved by R. Havell Jun^{r.}_] - - -HEPATICA triloba. - -_Common Blue Hepatica._ - - -_Class and Order._--POLYANDRIA POLYGYNIA. - -Syn. Hepatica triloba. _Pursh, N. A. F._, _vol._ ii., _p._ 391. - - Root fibrous--leaves radical, three-lobed, on long petioles--stem - simple, erect, pubescent--one-flowered calyx of three leaves--corolla - blue--six petals, oval-shaped--stamens numerous, fixed to the - receptacle--styles many--stigmas obtuse. - - -The blue variety of the Hepatica triloba, which blooms about March, -is one of our most beautiful Spring flowers, and is more readily -cultivated than any of the other kinds. According to Pursh, "It is a -native of Canada, and is found in woods, and on the sides of fertile -and rocky hills." The double variety of this plant is less common in -our gardens, and the single white variety is rare. These plants like -a loamy soil, and eastern exposure--and should be removed when they -are in blossom. The roots do not bear to be often separated; and if -divided into small pieces are frequently lost: but if left undisturbed -in a congenial situation, they will attain great luxuriance. Miller -says the single varieties are easily propagated by seed; but our more -modern gardeners do not coincide in this opinion.

When planted in the -front of the borders it is very ornamental, particularly when exposed -to a bright sun, which causes the flowers to expand. It has acquired -a more interesting character, from the supposition entertained by the -late Sir J. E. Smith, that it may possibly be the Lily of Scripture, to -which we find such beautiful allusions in the Sacred writings. Sir J. -E. S. observes, "It is natural to presume the Divine Teacher, according -to his usual custom, called the attention of his hearers to some -object at hand; and, as the fields of the Levant are overrun with the -Amaryllis lutea, whose golden liliaceous flowers in Autumn afford one -of the most brilliant and gorgeous objects in nature, the expression of -'Solomon, in all his glory, not being arrayed like one of these,' is -peculiarly appropriate."

To endeavour to place them in an -attractive form—to attach to them useful and accurate information—has -been her pleasing task; and she will be amply rewarded if she should be -the means of affording any encouragement, particularly among her own -sex, to a taste for botanical pursuits. One of our greatest philosophers has -declared a "Garden to be among the purest of human pleasures"; and if -we look for a still higher sanction—we have the divine command to</p> - - -<div class="poetry-container"> -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse indent0">"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow."</div> -</div> -</div> -</div> - -<p>There is no pursuit which fills the mind with more noble and exalted -sentiments than the study of these works of Nature:—wherever we turn -our attention, we shall discover in them ample lessons of instruction and -delight; in the structure of every plant, we shall find the most exact -symmetry, and the most perfect contrivance—and the more minutely we -examine, the more decided traces we discern of that Power</p> - -<div class="poetry-container"> -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse indent0">"Who planned, and built, and still upholds a world</div> -<div class="verse indent0">So clothed with beauty."</div> -</div> -</div> -</div> - -<p>The gratification to be derived from such pursuits, is heightened by considerations -like these, and their utility and value are rendered still more -evident. To use the language of the late excellent and distinguished <span class="smcap">Sir -James E. Smith</span>, "Is it not desirable to call the soul from the feverish -agitation of worldly pursuits, to the contemplation of divine wisdom in the -beautiful economy of Nature? Is it not a privilege to walk with God in the -garden of creation, and hold converse with his providence? If such elevated -feelings do not lead to the study of Nature, it cannot be far pursued without -rewarding the student by exciting them."</p> - -<p>In the arrangement of this Work, the Author has aimed at some degree -of novelty in the design, as well as of utility in the information. To her -own sex, to whose particular notice she offers it, she trusts it may prove a -useful and correct guide to their tastes, both in their selection for a flower -garden, and as objects for their pencil. She has chosen those plants most -remarkable for their beauty, and general adaptation to our borders—and, -in order to render the Work more complete, she has added to every genus -those species most desirable for cultivation.</p> - -<p>The Author cannot conclude, without expressing her obligations for the -assistance afforded her by her friend <span class="smcap">Mr. Shepherd</span>, Curator of the Botanic -Garden, Liverpool; and her thanks are particularly due to his able and -intelligent coadjutor, <span class="smcap">Mr. Henry Shepherd</span>, F.L.S.</p> - -<p class="l"> -<span class="smcap">Toxteth Park</span>,</p> - -<p class="l2"> -<i>March,</i> 1829. -</p> -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> - -<h2 class="nobreak gesperrt">SPRING.</h2> -</div> - -<div class="figcenter"> -<img src="images/fig2.jpg" alt=""/> -</div> - -<div class="poetry-container"> -<div class="poetry"> -<div class="stanza"> -<div class="verse indent2">"—————————Bright with dew,</div> -<div class="verse indent0">And in a mingled wilderness of flowers,</div> -<div class="verse indent0">Fair-handed Spring unbosoms every grace;</div> -<div class="verse indent0">With hues on hues expression cannot paint</div> -<div class="verse indent0">The breath of Nature, and her endless bloom."</div> -<div class="verse indent3"><i>Thomson's Seasons.</i></div> -</div> -</div> -</div> - -<hr class="full x-ebookmaker-drop" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<div class="figcenter"> -<a href="images/fig3big.jpg"> -<img src="images/fig3.jpg" alt="" /> -</a> -<p class="caption"><i>Plate 1.</i> <span class="fancy xxxxlarge"><i>Crocus.</i></span><br /> -<span class="more"><i>Drawn from Nature by M.R.</i> <span class="pad"><i>Engraved by R.

The roots do not bear to be often separated; and -if divided into small pieces are frequently lost: but if left undisturbed -in a congenial situation, they will attain great luxuriance.
