- 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.

-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."

-CROCUS mæsiacus.
-
-_Common Yellow Crocus._
-
-
-_Class and Order._--TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
-
-Syn. _Curt. Bot. Mag._, _p._ 1111.
-
-Crocus langeæflorus. _Salisbury Par. 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.

-[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. The new leaves do
-not appear until after the flowers, though occasionally those of the
-preceding year retain their freshness, as in the figure here given. All
-the Hepaticas are ornamental.
-
- Double blue.
- Single pink.

-_Drawn from Nature by M.R._ _Engraved by R. Havell Jun^{r.}_]
-
-
-SCILLA bifolia.
-
-_Two-leaved Squill._
-
-
-_Class and Order._--HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
-
-Syn. Scilla bifolia. _Eng. Fl._, _vol._ ii., _p._ 146.
-
- Bulb oblong, oval--leaves two, radical, opposite, linear, lanceolate,
- about five or six inches long--peduncles short--corolla bright
- blue--petals six, oblong, spreading in the form of a star--stamens
- six, shorter than the petals--germen superior--styles short.
-
-
-This beautiful plant is a native of the West of England, though rarely
-found. It likes a light soil, and should be grown in large patches,
-when it forms one of the greatest ornaments to our gardens in the month
-of March. The white variety also flowers about the same time, and forms
-a striking and beautiful contrast if placed alternately in the flower
-border. It is increased by offsets, which may be removed when the
-leaves decay. If this plant be covered with a hand-glass, when coming
-into bloom, it will expand more fully, and preserve the brilliancy
-of its colour. The Scilla maritima possesses peculiar medicinal
-properties. The most beautiful species are
-
- Scilla amæna.
- ---- Siberica.
- ---- Verna.
- ---- Italica
- ---- Peruviana.
- ---- præcox.

-This plant is one of the least common and most beautiful of the genus,
-and is remarkable for the peculiar delicacy of its colour. It is a
-native of Spain, and was introduced into this country about the year
-1759. It requires a light rich soil; and, like all other bulbs, ought
-only to be removed when the leaves decay. The plant grows from twelve
-to sixteen inches high, and flowers in April. The genus Narcissus is a
-very numerous and beautiful one, and affords a delightful variety. Some

-
-There are few plants more desirable for a flower garden than the
-Erythronium dens canis, and its white variety; and none contribute
-more to the beauty of our borders in the month of March, or beginning
-of April. It is a native of Hungary, and some parts of Italy, and was
-introduced into this country in the year 1596. These plants like a
-light soil, mixed with bog, and are propagated by offsets, which may
-be removed any time after the leaves decay; but the roots should not
-be kept long out of the ground, as they are liable to shrink. Miller
-mentions two species of the lilac Erythronium; but his distinctions,
-founded only on the breadth of the leaves, and colour of the flower,
-would not be sufficient to form a different species. It is, however,
-worthy of remark, that the leaves of those bulbs which do not bear
-flowers, are broader and rounder than the others. There are two other
-species, mentioned by Pursh, in his "Flora of North America," vol. i.

-This beautiful species, which is much larger than the Sanguinaria
-Canadensis, was introduced into this country about the year 1812, by
-the late Mr. John Lyon, with several other valuable plants, collected
-by him in different parts of North America. It takes its name from
-the root, which, when broken, emits a red juice resembling blood,
-with which the Indians are said to paint themselves. Its blossoms are
-transient, and, like many other Spring flowers, require the warmth
-of the sun to expand them. It grows best in bog soil and a sheltered
-situation, and may be increased by parting its roots, which should
-be done in the Autumn, to prevent any check to its flowering in the

-
-Though this beautiful plant has been so long known in our gardens,

-The genus Phlox is perhaps one of the most beautiful cultivated in

-flowering all through the Summer and Autumn. The plant here figured
-is the earliest; and though it cannot boast of brilliancy, it is
-remarkable for the beautiful delicacy of its colour, and modest
-appearance. It grows low, seldom exceeding eight or ten inches in
-height, and is, on this account, very suitable for rock work. It
-flowers in May, likes a strong loamy soil, and is increased by parting
-the roots, or by cuttings. This species is a native of the mountains of

-This is a most striking and ornamental species, and though it is said
-to have been introduced so far back as the year 1597, is still rare in

-stronger soil than Anemonies generally do. When its roots have attained
-a great size, it should be removed or divided, as it is then liable to
-decay; few, however, are fortunate enough to cultivate it to such a
-state of luxuriance. It is perfectly hardy, though mostly treated as a

-parting the roots. The plant from which the annexed drawing was made
-grows luxuriantly in a cold, stiff soil, and has endured our severest
-winters without protection. It flowers in June; and though each blossom

-This lovely little plant is a native of the mountains of Austria and
-Styria, and is particularly ornamental for rock work, to which it is
-well adapted by its low growth and general habit. It was introduced

-in the Winter unless protected, and it is therefore the safest plan
-either to keep it in a frame, or to cover it with dry leaves and a

-
-The specific name of this very interesting plant was given by Professor
-Nuttal, in consequence of what he considered the three-lobed form
-of its petals; this is however so very slight as to be scarcely
-observable, and therefore perhaps ought not to be considered a
-specific distinction. It was discovered by the Professor in the
-Arkansas country, in 1819, and seeds were afterwards brought by that
-indefatigable traveller and naturalist, Mr. D. Douglas, from North
-America, in 1824. This plant, which has a succession of flowers
-throughout the Summer, is extremely liable to decay, if not kept dry in
-the Winter; but it may be raised from seed, or by parting the roots in
-Autumn, and keeping them in a frame, in pots of light dry soil, giving
-them very little or no water until the roots begin to shoot in the
-Spring. This is the best method of increasing the Œ. cespitosa, a most

-
-This distinct species, which is perhaps one of the most beautiful of
-the genus is readily distinguished by its small flower and foliage--it
-is a native of Mexico, and previous to its introduction to this
-country, by Mr. Fraser, in 1803, was cultivated in France,--endless
-varieties of this genus are constantly raised from seed, and by other
-means, and there is no flower to which we are so much indebted for
-ornamenting our gardens in the Autumn--the cultivation of this plant
-is so easy, and now so well known that little requires to be said on
-this point. Particular care, however, must be taken to keep the roots
-from frost; a poor soil will cause a smaller growth, and produce more
-flowers. The name Georgina was given to this genus by Wildenow, in
-honor of G. Georgi, a Russian Botanist, and as it is considered by the
-Continental and many English Botanists, to be the most correct, it has
-been here adopted, instead of Dahlia, a name very similar to that of
-another genus (Dalea) called after Dale the friend of Ray;[1] some of
-the most beautiful double Georginas are varieties of the Sambucifolia.

-The genus Rudbeckia (called after Professor Rudbeck of Upsal who
-died in 1702) is a very ornamental one, its different species making
-a gay appearance in the Autumn. R. hirta is perhaps one of the most
-desirable, from its moderate size, seldom growing higher than two
-feet--it was introduced about the year 1714, it is a native of N.
-America, and is found on the mountains from Virginia to Florida--it
-likes a light rich soil, and is propagated by parting the roots,
-which should be done in the spring, as it flowers so late in Autumn
-as to prevent the removal in sufficient time for the plants to be
-well established before winter--it is rather tender, sometimes being
-destroyed by too much wet. The following are pleasing species:--

-This brilliant ornament to the flower garden is a native of Mexico,

-the flowers from inclement weather, will make a beautiful and gay
-appearance in the months of November and December. The Chrysanthemums
-are increased either by cuttings or suckers taken from the parent

-it grows best in a moist situation and strong loamy soil: it may be
-covered with a hand-glass when coming into bloom, as the beauty of
-the flower is liable to be destroyed by the severity of the weather.

-This beautiful little plant is well ascertained to be a native of

-gathered in Teesdale Forest, Durham, where it is still obtained for
-the purposes of sale in London, and other places;--it is also a native
-of the Alps of Switzerland, where we are told the large patches of it
-produce a brilliant and striking effect:--it is perfectly hardy, but
-requires a pure air, and succeeds best in bog-soil--from its low growth
-and general habit, it is well adapted to ornament rock work, and from
-the shelter there afforded, it will begin to flower as early as March,

-
-
-The beautiful genus Soldanella is peculiarly adapted to rock work, to
-which it is a great ornament; the different species are all hardy,
-but like many alpine plants, require shelter from severe frosts, as
-a substitute for the snow of their native mountains; this species is
-found on the mountains of Bohemia, and on the Austrian and Styrian
-Alps, and was introduced into this country about the year 1816.
-It grows best in a mixture of peat and sandy loam, and is readily
-increased by seeds, or by parting the roots; the genus is by no means
-common, perhaps, from their requiring a very pure air to grow them in
-perfection; it is the safest plan to keep all alpine plants in a frame
-during winter, or to cover them with _dry_ saw dust, over which may
-be placed a hand-glass or garden-pot. This species is called after
-Clusius a celebrated Botanist, it being (according to the Bot. Mag. p.

-The genus Viola is a very numerous one, and can boast of many

-chiefly of Viola tricolor, though these may at first vary, there is
-little dependance to be placed on them, as they frequently return to
-the original species; the number of distinct species, however, is very
-considerable, amongst which is the one figured; a desirable plant
-for the front of the borders where it will remain in beauty for a
-long time--it is a native of North America, and according to the Bot.
-Cab. p. 1471, grows on dry hills from New England to Virginia. Prof.
-Nuttall says in his genera of North American plants, vol. i. p. 147,
-"the genus Viola within its proper limits, is almost equally divided
-betwixt Europe and the temperate parts of North America." This species
-was first brought into this country in 1739, though still a scarce
-plant in our gardens:--the Violas are all well adapted for rock work,
-and flourish most in a light rich soil and shady situation. They may be
-increased either by parting the roots, by cuttings, or by seeds; the
-latter of which are produced in great abundance, and are dispersed by
-the peculiar elasticity of the capsule, which as soon as its contents
-are matured, ejects them with considerable force, sometimes to a great

-
-This is the most desirable species of the genus and a very handsome
-herbaceous plant, the beautiful white flowers forming a pleasing
-contrast to the dark green leaves by which they are surrounded. It is a
-native of Upper Canada, and according to Nuttall, is found generally in
-umbrageous forests.--a peat soil, and shady situation are essential to
-its favorable cultivation, and as these are afforded, the flower varies
-accordingly in size--it is a plant of slow growth, not hearing frequent
-removal, and is therefore not common, though it has been known in this

-parting the roots. The other species are not particularly desirable,

-beautiful, and promises to be a great acquisition to our collection of
-new herbaceous plants, it may be raised from seeds or cuttings, likes
-a light soil, and a sheltered situation, and will continue in flower
-for a considerable time. It has hitherto been treated chiefly as a
-green-house plant, but it will grow much stronger, and the colours
-finer, in the open border; it would, however, be desirable to keep some

-
-
-This beautiful plant is a very valuable acquisition to our flower
-borders, from the brilliancy of its colour, and affording a continued
-succession of flowers. Mr. Sweet, and some of the Continental Botanists
-consider the specific name "Coccineum," which has been applied to it,
-as confusing it with the plant known by that name in the "Flora Græca,"
-which, it is supposed, has never been introduced into this country,
-it appears of much lower growth than the one now figured, with orange
-flowers, and the terminal leaflet a great deal larger. The species
-before us is a native of Chili, where it is called "Quellyon" by the
-inhabitants, who use the root for medicinal purposes. It is a plant of
-easy cultivation, growing in any common garden soil, and is readily

-
-The unrivalled brilliancy of the colour of this beautiful species of
-Verbena, renders it a most ornamental plant for the front of the flower
-borders, and when grown in large patches it is almost impossible to
-give an idea of the dazzling splendour of its appearance; it is a plant
-of the easiest cultivation, and if allowed to grow according to its
-natural habit, which is prostrate, it will propagate itself by the
-radicles which are produced at the different joints, and by this means
-will attach itself to the ground; the plants thus rooted may be removed
-any time. A brown loamy soil, a good deal of moisture, and a sheltered
-situation are necessary, and as it is doubtful how it may bear the
-severity of our winters, it is the safest method to keep some plants in
-a frame, during severe frosts, which will flower early in the ensuing
-spring. It is a native of Paraguay and Buenos Ayres, and was introduced

-Italy, and the south of France, and was introduced into this country
-about the year 1759; though we are not aware that any figure of it

-the spring in light sandy soil, and placed in a green-house or frame,
-as it facilitates their flowering: when the weather permits, the roots
-should be taken out of the pots and put into the open air, in a warm
-sheltered situation, where they will make a brilliant appearance for a
-considerable time--when they have done flowering, the roots require to
-be taken up and kept dry during the winter. The only species with which
-we are yet acquainted, besides the one figured, is T. pavonia.

-
-There cannot be a greater ornament to the flower garden in the autumnal
-months than the C. byzantinum, which is the finest species of the
-genus. We learn from the Bot. Mag. that, in 1598, bulbs of this plant
-were received by Clusius, at Vienna, from Constantinople, but it was
-not until 1629 that it was introduced into this country. It is a native
-of the Levant, and is perfectly hardy, not requiring any particular
-mode of treatment, except being planted in a light soil, mixed with
-bog. The flowers appear about September, but the leaves, which are
-the largest of any of the species, do not arrive at maturity until
-the following spring. The C. autumnale is famed for its medicinal
-properties. This is not a numerous genus; the most desirable species are
-
- C. crociflorum.
- -- autumnale.
- -- var. white.

- leaves sessile, opposite, ovate lanceolate, dentate acute--calyx
- many segments imbricate, acute--corolla dark bright yellow--radiated

- rugose.
-
-
-This is perhaps one of the most desirable species of the genus
-Helianthus, from the brilliancy of the colour and its moderate growth.
-It makes a striking appearance when planted at the back of the flower
-borders, and will continue in beauty to a late period in the autumn.
-According to Pursh it is found in the "western parts of Pennsylvania,"
-and was introduced into this country in 1732. It will grow well in any
-good garden soil, and may be increased by parting the roots. There are
-not many species of this genus suitable for a flower garden, as they
-grow to such a large size, and take up so much room: the best are

- stamens--stigma very small--legumen broad, margin deeply undulate,
- containing generally three white smooth seeds.
-
-
-The genus Lupinus is now become very interesting, from the numerous
-fine species that have lately been introduced; none can exceed in
-beauty the one here figured, which possesses a peculiar attraction from
-its flowers being most beautiful when in a state of decay. According
-to the Bot. Mag. p. 2682, it was "raised from seeds received by Mr.
-Barclay, from Bogota, in Columbia, and communicated in flower in August
-1826." There is no doubt it will soon be generally cultivated, as it
-bears seeds in abundance, which may be sown in good rich soil in the
-open ground, and the plants thus reared will flower abundantly during
-the summer months, and continue in beauty till destroyed by frost. It
-is yet uncertain whether this species be more than annual. Amongst the
-finest of this genus are
-
- L. polyphyllus.
- -- canaliculatus.
- -- versicolor.
- -- bicolor.
- -- leucophyllus.

-
-Though this species of Papaver cannot boast of brilliancy of colour, it
-is nevertheless a very lovely plant from its delicacy and simplicity;
-and, from the continued succession of flowers, it will be found an
-ornamental plant to our gardens. According to the Hort. Kew. p. 289,
-"it is a native of Norway and Siberia, and was cultivated in 1730 by
-Dr. James Sherard." Numerous beautiful varieties have been raised from
-seed, which make a very gay appearance all through the summer and
-autumn, until checked by frost: these are quite hardy, and will grow in
-any light rich soil. The most ornamental species are
-
- P. bracteatum.

-
-It is almost impossible to give an adequate representation of the
-brilliant colour of this beautiful species of Gladiolus, which was
-introduced into this country from Holland, about the year 1789, by the
-gardener to the King of Naples: though generally considered a tender
-plant, it will be found to grow well out of doors, in a southern aspect
-and sheltered situation, only requiring protection in the winter to
-keep the roots from severe frosts. Many of the bulbs from the Cape of
-Good Hope, of which place this is a native, may be grown well with care
-and attention in the open air, and make a beautiful addition to the
-flower garden in the summer months. The bulbs should be planted six or
-eight inches deep in a rich sandy soil, in a south aspect, where they
-will grow strong and flower freely. The hardiest species are

-
-
-Though this plant is frequently confused with C. tuberosa it is
-proved to be decidedly distinct, Mr. Sweet having obligingly informed
-the author that he has carefully compared the two species, and thus
-confirmed the opinions of Rœmer et Schultz, and other botanists on
-the Continent, where the distinction is now generally adopted. This
-species, which has a larger and lighter coloured flower, longer and
-narrower leaves, than C. tuberosa, is a native of Mexico, and was
-introduced into this country in 1813: it has been generally treated
-as a green-house plant, but it will grow perfectly well in the open
-air, though from the fleshy nature of the roots it is necessary to
-take them up in winter, and treat them in the same manner as Dahlias.
-C. crassifolia is the only species besides the two above mentioned,
-suitable for the flower garden.

-
-This plant, formerly known as Amaryllis lutea, is a native of the South
-of Europe, and various parts of the East. Though introduced into this
-country as early as 1596, it is by no means common. 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." It is a plant of easy cultivation, perfectly
-hardy, and will grow in any good garden soil. At present there are few
-species of this genus.

-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 are 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 information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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: www.gutenberg.org/donate

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty 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 not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website 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.

-
-<p>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,</p>
-
-<p class="r">
-Your affectionate Daughter,</p>

-<hr class="dbl x-ebookmaker-drop" />
-
-<p>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&mdash;to attach to them useful and accurate information&mdash;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&mdash;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:&mdash;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&mdash;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&mdash;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>

-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

-
-<p>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&mdash;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. The new
-leaves do not appear until after the flowers, though occasionally those
-of the preceding year retain their freshness, as in the figure here
-given. All the Hepaticas are ornamental.</p>

-<p>This beautiful plant is a native of the West of England, though

-alternately in the flower border. It is increased by offsets, which

-<p>There are few plants more desirable for a flower garden than the
-Erythronium dens canis, and its white variety; and none contribute
-more to the beauty of our borders in the month of March, or beginning
-of April. It is a native of Hungary, and some parts of Italy, and was
-introduced into this country in the year 1596. These plants like a
-light soil, mixed with bog, and are propagated by offsets, which may
-be removed any time after the leaves decay; but the roots should
-not be kept long out of the ground, as they are liable to shrink.
-Miller mentions two species of the lilac Erythronium; but his distinctions,
-founded only on the breadth of the leaves, and colour of
-the flower, would not be sufficient to form a different species. It is,
-however, worthy of remark, that the leaves of those bulbs which do
-not bear flowers, are broader and rounder than the others. There are
-two other species, mentioned by Pursh, in his "Flora of North America,"
-vol. i. p. 230, both bearing yellow flowers, one of which is
-occasionally seen in our gardens.&mdash;Erythronium Americanum.</p>

-<p>This beautiful species, which is much larger than the Sanguinaria

-the late Mr. John Lyon, with several other valuable plants, collected
-by him in different parts of North America. It takes its name from
-the root, which, when broken, emits a red juice resembling blood, with
-which the Indians are said to paint themselves. Its blossoms are
-transient, and, like many other Spring flowers, require the warmth of
-the sun to expand them. It grows best in bog soil and a sheltered
-situation, and may be increased by parting its roots, which should be
-done in the Autumn, to prevent any check to its flowering in the
-following March or April. There is only another species, the S.

-<p>This beautiful plant, according to the "Bot. Mag.," 2680, is a

-Gardens by the late Dr. Solander, in 1778." It is still rare, and
-difficult to cultivate, though in congenial situations it will sow its seed,

-<p>The specific name of this very interesting plant was given by
-Professor Nuttal, in consequence of what he considered the three-lobed
-form of its petals; this is however so very slight as to be scarcely
-observable, and therefore perhaps ought not to be considered a specific
-distinction. It was discovered by the Professor in the Arkansas
-country, in 1819, and seeds were afterwards brought by that indefatigable
-traveller and naturalist, Mr. D. Douglas, from North
-America, in 1824. This plant, which has a succession of flowers
-throughout the Summer, is extremely liable to decay, if not kept dry
-in the Winter; but it may be raised from seed, or by parting the roots
-in Autumn, and keeping them in a frame, in pots of light dry soil,
-giving them very little or no water until the roots begin to shoot in
-the Spring. This is the best method of increasing the Œ. cespitosa,
-a most lovely plant, but extremely difficult to propagate. There are

-all thro' the summer 'till destroyed by frost. It may be propagated

-or by parting the roots in autumn, and grows best in a pure air, and a

-<p>This distinct species, which is perhaps one of the most beautiful of
-the genus is readily distinguished by its small flower and foliage&mdash;it is
-a native of Mexico, and previous to its introduction to this country, by
-Mr. Fraser, in 1803, was cultivated in France,&mdash;endless varieties of
-this genus are constantly raised from seed, and by other means, and
-there is no flower to which we are so much indebted for ornamenting
-our gardens in the Autumn&mdash;the cultivation of this plant is so easy,
-and now so well known that little requires to be said on this point.
-Particular care, however, must be taken to keep the roots from frost; a
-poor soil will cause a smaller growth, and produce more flowers.
-The name Georgina was given to this genus by Wildenow, in honor of
-G. Georgi, a Russian Botanist, and as it is considered by the Continental
-and many English Botanists, to be the most correct, it has been
-here adopted, instead of Dahlia, a name very similar to that of another
-genus (Dalea) called after Dale the friend of Ray;<a id="FNanchor_1" href="#Footnote_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a> some of the most
-beautiful double Georginas are varieties of the Sambucifolia.</p>

-<p>The first introduction of the Chinese Chrysanthemums into this

-the great facility that attends their cultivation, and their very desirable

-frequently imported, the only means we possess of obtaining them, as
-we are ignorant of the mode adopted by the Chinese for their increase;
-and we are led to suppose that we do not yet possess some of their
-finest kinds:&mdash;most of the varieties will grow well out of doors, and if
-trained against a south wall, with a little protection to shield the
-flowers from inclement weather, will make a beautiful and gay appearance
-in the months of November and December. The Chrysanthemums
-are increased either by cuttings or suckers taken from the parent
-plant in the spring;&mdash;the var. here figured is a very beautiful one, and
-blossoms rather early and freely&mdash;the flowers have a deeper color when
-grown out of doors, and the plant altogether acquires more strength;&mdash;in
-a green-house this var. is apt to grow weak and tall.</p>

-<p>This plant possesses little beauty to recommend it to our notice,

-Peruvianum, renders it an acceptable addition to our small stock of
-winter flowers. It is a native of Italy, and was introduced into this

-grown in a moist situation, it will spread so rapidly as to become

-<p>There are few flowers more welcome to us than the Helleborus
-niger, which enlivens our gardens in the dreary months of December
-and January. It is a native of the mountains of Austria, and was
-introduced into this country about the year 1596, by Mr. John Gerard;
-it derives its name from the dark color of its roots, and the common
-appellation of the Christmas Rose, arises from the peculiar season of
-its flowering; being an alpine plant it delights in a pure air, and it
-grows best in a moist situation and strong loamy soil: it may be covered
-with a hand-glass when coming into bloom, as the beauty of the flower
-is liable to be destroyed by the severity of the weather. Considerable
-medicinal properties were ascribed to this plant by the ancients, but it
-is now seldom used. There are several other species, but only two of
-these are generally cultivated&mdash;the first mentioned is a British plant.</p>

-are formed in the autumn, but do not come to maturity until the following

-<p>The beautiful genus Soldanella is peculiarly adapted to rock
-work, to which it is a great ornament; the different species are all
-hardy, but like many alpine plants, require shelter from severe frosts,
-as a substitute for the snow of their native mountains; this species is
-found on the mountains of Bohemia, and on the Austrian and Styrian
-Alps, and was introduced into this country about the year 1816. It
-grows best in a mixture of peat and sandy loam, and is readily increased
-by seeds, or by parting the roots; the genus is by no means
-common, perhaps, from their requiring a very pure air to grow them in
-perfection; it is the safest plan to keep all alpine plants in a frame
-during winter, or to cover them with <i>dry</i> saw dust, over which may be
-placed a hand-glass or garden-pot. This species is called after Clusius
-a celebrated Botanist, it being (according to the Bot. Mag. p. 211.)
-first described and figured by him. There are two other beautiful
-species, with smaller flowers, S. alpina, S. minima.</p>

-<p>The genus Viola is a very numerous one, and can boast of many

-chiefly of Viola tricolor, though these may at first vary, there is
-little dependance to be placed on them, as they frequently return to
-the original species; the number of distinct species, however, is very
-considerable, amongst which is the one figured; a desirable plant for
-the front of the borders where it will remain in beauty for a long
-time&mdash;it is a native of North America, and according to the Bot.
-Cab. p. 1471, grows on dry hills from New England to Virginia.
-Prof. Nuttall says in his genera of North American plants, vol. i. p.
-147, "the genus Viola within its proper limits, is almost equally
-divided betwixt Europe and the temperate parts of North America."
-This species was first brought into this country in 1739, though still
-a scarce plant in our gardens:&mdash;the Violas are all well adapted for
-rock work, and flourish most in a light rich soil and shady situation.
-They may be increased either by parting the roots, by cuttings, or by
-seeds; the latter of which are produced in great abundance, and are
-dispersed by the peculiar elasticity of the capsule, which as soon as
-its contents are matured, ejects them with considerable force, sometimes
-to a great distance. Some of the most beautiful species are</p>

-<p>Great additions have lately been made to this genus, by Mr.
-Douglas, who has discovered many new and valuable plants in North
-America, among which is the species figured. According to the Bot.
-Mag. pl. 2903, N. S. it was found by him "growing plentifully among
-the limestone rocks on the high mountains about the grand rapids of
-the Columbia river, at the distance of 140 miles from the ocean," and
-sent to the Hort. Soc. in 1826; it likes a light loam and sheltered
-situation, and may be increased by seeds or parting the roots.
-When well grown it is a very beautiful and elegant plant, and a great
-acquisition to the flower garden. As we are yet scarcely aware how
-it may bear the cold of our winters, it will be desirable to protect it
-from severe frosts. The genus can now boast of many new and beautiful
-species,</p>

-<p>This beautiful plant is a very valuable acquisition to our flower
-borders, from the brilliancy of its colour, and affording a continued
-succession of flowers. Mr. Sweet, and some of the Continental Botanists
-consider the specific name "Coccineum," which has been applied
-to it, as confusing it with the plant known by that name in the
-"Flora Græca," which, it is supposed, has never been introduced
-into this country, it appears of much lower growth than the one now
-figured, with orange flowers, and the terminal leaflet a great deal
-larger. The species before us is a native of Chili, where it is called
-"Quellyon" by the inhabitants, who use the root for medicinal purposes.
-It is a plant of easy cultivation, growing in any common garden
-soil, and is readily increased by seeds or parting the roots; introduced
-into this country about the year 1826. There are only two other
-species worth attention for the flower garden.</p>

-<p>The unrivalled brilliancy of the colour of this beautiful species of
-Verbena, renders it a most ornamental plant for the front of the flower
-borders, and when grown in large patches it is almost impossible to
-give an idea of the dazzling splendour of its appearance; it is a plant
-of the easiest cultivation, and if allowed to grow according to its natural
-habit, which is prostrate, it will propagate itself by the radicles
-which are produced at the different joints, and by this means will attach
-itself to the ground; the plants thus rooted may be removed any
-time. A brown loamy soil, a good deal of moisture, and a sheltered
-situation are necessary, and as it is doubtful how it may bear the severity
-of our winters, it is the safest method to keep some plants
-in a frame, during severe frosts, which will flower early in the ensuing
-spring. It is a native of Paraguay and Buenos Ayres, and was introduced
-into this country about 1827. There are only two other
-species worth cultivating in the flower garden.</p>

-<p>This is one of the most splendid plants which has been introduced

-by Mr. Bullock, in 1824. On its first flowering here, it was considered
-a variety only of T. pavonia, but upon careful examination they
-appeared to be perfectly distinct. This is satisfactorily proved by
-Mr. Sweet, in his B. F. G. p. 128. The bulbs may be planted early
-in the spring in light sandy soil, and placed in a green-house or frame,
-as it facilitates their flowering: when the weather permits, the roots
-should be taken out of the pots and put into the open air, in a warm
-sheltered situation, where they will make a brilliant appearance for a
-considerable time&mdash;when they have done flowering, the roots require
-to be taken up and kept dry during the winter. The only species

-seeds received by Mr. Barclay, from Bogota, in Columbia, and communicated

-be generally cultivated, as it bears seeds in abundance, which may be

-beauty till destroyed by frost. It is yet uncertain whether this species

-<p>This plant, formerly known as Amaryllis lutea, is a native of
-the South of Europe, and various parts of the East. Though introduced
-into this country as early as 1596, it is by no means common.
-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." It is a plant of easy cultivation,
-perfectly hardy, and will grow in any good garden soil. At present
-there are few species of this genus.</p>

-Project Gutenberg&#8482; is synonymous with the free distribution of

-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg&#8482; collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project

-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-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.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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 <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-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

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
