+ ----"nor thou disdain
+ To check the lawless riot of the trees,
+ To plant the grove, or turn the barren mould
+ Oh happy he, whom, when his years decline,
+ (His fortune and his fame by worthy means
+ Attain'd, and equal to his mod'rate mind;
+ His life approv'd by all the wise and good,
+ Even envy'd by the vain) the peaceful groves
+ Of Epicurus, from this stormy world
+ Hereine in rest; of all ungrateful cares
+ Absolv'd, and sacred from the selfish crowd.
+ Happiest of men I if the same soil invites
+ A chosen few, companions of his youth,
+ Once fellow-rakes perhaps now rural friends;
+ With whom in easy commerce to pursue
+ Nature's free charms, and vie for Sylvan fame
+ A fair ambition; void of strife, or guile,
+ Or jealousy, or pain to be outdone.
+ Who plans th'enchanted garden, who directs
+ The visto best, and best conducts the stream;
+ Whose groves the fastest thicken, and ascend;
+ Whom first the welcome spring salutes; who shews
+ The earliest bloom, the sweetest proudest charms
+ Of Flora; who best gives Pomona's juice
+ To match the sprightly genius of Champain."

+
+
+Of the several species of Colutea cultivated in our garden the one here
+figured, is distinguished by the brilliancy of its' flowers, the
+largeness of its pods, and the downy appearance of the under side of its
+leaves.
+
+It appears from the _Hortus Kewensis_ to have been cultivated by Mr.
+JAMES SUTHERLAND as long since as the year 1683 it was not however
+generally introduced to our gardens till the time of MILLER, who figured
+it in his _Icones_, it was then understood to be an Æthiopian plant; Mr.
+AITON since describes it as a native of the Cape also; of course, we
+find it more tender than most of its kindred, and hence it is usually
+regarded as a greenhouse plant; yet, as it is not destroyed by a small
+degree of frost, it will frequently, like the myrtle survive a mild
+winter in the open border, especially if trained to a wall: it is rarely
+of more than two or three years duration.
+
+It is readily raised from seeds sown in the open ground, plants from
+which flower the August following, and, in favourable seasons, ripen
+their seeds; in order, however, that they may ripen them with more
+certainty, MILLER, recommends the sowing them early on a gentle hot-bed.
+
+A dry soil suits this species best.

+
+
+Such as are delighted with the singular rather than the beautiful
+appearances of plants, cannot fail of ranking the present species of
+sage among their favourites.
+
+It been called _aurea_, from the colour of its flowers, _ferruginea_
+would perhaps have been more expressive of them; when they first open
+indeed they are of a yellow colour, but they quickly and constantly
+become of the colour of rusty iron.
+
+The leaves are nearly round, and have a pleasing silvery hue: a few of
+them only, and those chiefly at the extremities of the young shoots, are
+of the form described by LINNÆUS in his specific character of the plant,
+and hence COMMELIN'S description (_vid. Syn._) is to be preferred, as
+leading us with more certainty to a knowledge of the plant; the colour
+of the leaves, the colour and unusual magnitude of the blossoms, are
+indisputably the most striking features of the species, and therefore to
+be resorted to: for my own part, as a friend to the advancement of the
+science, rather than as the follower of that great man, I see no good
+reason why colour should not in many instances, especially where
+expressive characters are wanting, form a part of the specific character
+in plants, as well as in animals: we are told indeed of its inconstancy.
+I would ask--who ever saw the colour of the leaves or blossoms of the
+present plant to vary? and, on the contrary, who ever saw its leaves
+constant in their form?
+
+The _Salvia aurea_ is a native of the Cape, and was cultivated by Mr.
+MILLER in 1731, it is a hardy greenhouse plant, is readily propagated by
+cuttings, and flowers from May to November.
+
+If suffered to grow, it will become a shrub of the height of six or
+seven feet.

+
+Few shrubs are better known in this country than the Lilac few more
+universally cultivated; there is scarcely a cottage it does not enliven,
+or a shrubbery it does not beautify.
+
+It has long had a place in our gardens; both GERARD and PARKINSON
+describe two sorts, the blue and the white; to these another sort is
+added by more modern writers, superior in beauty to the original, as
+producing larger bunches of flowers, of a brighter hue, having more of
+the purple tint and hence called by some the purple Lilac, MILLER
+considers the three as different species.
+
+The flowers of the Lilac possess a considerable degree of fragrance, but
+not of the most agreeable kind; our readers perhaps, will not be
+displeased to hear the opinion of old GERARD on this point, delivered in
+his own words:--"They have a pleasant sweete smell, but in my judgement
+they are too sweete, troubling and molesting the head in very strange
+manner: I once gathered the flowers, and laid them in my chamber window,
+which smelled more strongly after they had lien together a few howers,
+with such a ponticke and unacquainted savor, that they awaked me from
+sleepe, so that I could not take any rest until I had cast them out of
+my chamber."[1]
+
+Though a native of Persia, it bears our severest winters without injury,
+has a pleasing appearance when in bud, flowers in May, and is readily
+propagated by suckers; but finer plants, in the opinion of MILLER, are
+raised from seeds.
+
+It will grow in almost any soil or situation, even in London, but, to
+flower well, it must have a pure air.
+
+[Footnote 1: The name, indeed, of one of our colours is taken from its
+blossoms.
+
+ This Quotation from Gerard referring to its Smell belongs to the
+ Philadelphus coronarius or Mock-orange which both by him and
+ Parkinson is called Syringa, & which led to the Mistake.]

+To the Cape of Good Hope, that never-failing source of rare and
+beautiful plants, we are indebted for most of our Ixias, and among
+others for the present species, which though not of that value, nor
+possessing the delicacy or fragrance of the blossoms of some others, is
+a very desirable plant, not only as an object of curiosity, from the
+transparency of the base of the corolla, but as it adds much to the
+brilliancy of a collection, is easily obtained, and as easily
+propagated.
+
+It flowers in May and June, but its flowering may be prolonged by

+
+It produces offsets more plentifully than many of the genus.

+
+
+The _Coronilla valentina_ comes very near to the _glauca_ already
+figured in this work, but may be distinguished by a little attention;
+the _valentina_ has smaller leaves, which are more numerous, and more
+truly glaucous; the stipulæ, which in the _glauca_ are small, narrow,
+and pointed, in the _valentina_ are large, and almost round, and in the
+young plant are strikingly conspicuous; as the plant comes into flower,
+they drop off; the _valentina_ is not so much disposed to flower the
+year through as the _glauca_, but produces its blossoms chiefly in May,
+June, and July; the flowers of the _glauca_ are observed to smell more
+strongly in the day-time, those of the _valentina_ at all times diffuse
+a very powerful odour, so as even to scent a small greenhouse; we have
+often been amused with hearing the different opinions entertained of
+this smell, some speaking of it in terms of rapture, others ready to
+faint when they approach it: the flowers of the _valentina_ are more
+disposed to produce seed-vessels than those of the _glauca_, the seeds
+of which usually ripen well, and afford the means of increasing the
+plant most readily. To have a succession of small handsome bushy plants
+for the greenhouse, the old ones must either be frequently cut down, or
+young ones raised from seed, or cuttings, the stems as they grow up
+becoming naked at bottom.
+
+It is a hardy greenhouse plant, and may be kept well enough through the
+winter in a common hot-bed frame, or planted against a south wall, and
+matted as myrtles usually are in such situations; we have known the
+_glauca_, treated in prove a charming ornament.
+
+It is a native of Spain, growing, as CLUSIUS informs us, by road-sides,
+in sandy places, and on the declivities of hills.

+
+
+LINNÆUS in his _Mantissa_ has somewhat largely described this plant
+under the name of _Lippia ovata_, evidently from a dried specimen, which
+may account for the flowers being described of a dark violet colour; he
+recommends it to such as might have an opportunity of seeing the living
+plant, to observe if it was not referable to some other genus;
+accordingly Mons. L'HERITIER, who, when lately in England, saw it in the
+royal garden at Kew, joined it to the genus _Selago_, retaining the
+trivial name of _ovata, bractæata_ would perhaps have been a better
+name; for though its ovate inflorescence may be peculiar to the species,
+its bracteæ or floral leaves are so very singular that they constitute
+the most prominent feature of the plant.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us, that it was introduced to the royal garden at Kew,
+from the Cape, by Mr. MASSON, in 1774.
+
+It recommends itself not so much on account of its beauty, curious
+structure of its flowering spikes, and the fragrance of its blossoms.
+
+It is a greenhouse plant, and flowers during most of the summer; its
+blossoms are white with a yellow spot on the two uppermost, and
+sometimes on all the segments of the corolla, and an orange spot at the
+mouth of the tube.
+

+
+
+This species of Iris, said to be a native of the South of Europe,
+derives its name from the smell of its flowers, which very much
+resembles that of elder in bloom.
+
+It is one of the tallest and handsomest of the genus, in a rich moist
+soil acquiring the height of three feet or more; it is therefore more
+proper for the shrubbery than the flower-garden.
+
+It flowers about the latter end of May, and is readily increased by
+parting its roots in autumn.
+
+The Iris of PARKINSON, referred to in the synonyms, accords so exactly
+with our plant, in every circumstance but smell, which is not mentioned,
+that we have no doubt but it was cultivated in our gardens in his time.

+inhabitants call it Hasmisen, the Italians _Campana azurea_, of the
+beautifull azured flowers and also _Fior de notte_, bicause his beautie
+appeereth most in the night:" he informs us, that it grew in his garden,
+but perished before it ripened its seeds. PARKINSON says, it thrives
+remarkably well in our country, if the year be any thing kindly: MILLER
+informs us, that it is a native of Africa and America, extols it as one
+of the most beautiful of the genus, observes, that it is a very distinct
+species from the purpurea, of which it has been considered by some as a
+variety; that it will grow to the height of eight or ten feet, that in
+favourable seasons the seeds will ripen in the open air, and that it
+requires the same treatment as other annuals usually raised on a
+hot-bed. Mr. AITON considers it as a stove plant, as indeed most of our
+tender annuals properly are.
+
+It flowers from July to September.
+
+Though apparently common in our gardens formerly, it is now very rarely
+met with.

+
+
+We have bestowed on this plant the name of _aureum_, from the colour of
+its blossoms, which are usually of a bright orange or gold colour; in
+some specimens we have observed them of a paler hue, and consequently
+less beautiful.
+
+This highly ornamental species is of modern introduction, having been
+received by Mess. LEE and KENNEDY, a few years since from the Cape, of
+which it is a native.
+
+The root is a whitish bulb, resembling in size and shape that of the
+_Lachenalia tricolor_, figured on plate 82 of this work, from whence
+spring three or four smooth, somewhat fleshy, upright, dark-green
+leaves, about half an inch wide, and three or four inches long, edged
+with white, and, if magnified, appearing fringed with very fine hairs or
+villi; the stalk is naked, from eight to twelve inches high, supporting
+many flowers, which spring from the alæ of large, hollow, pointed
+bracteæ, and which opening one after another, keep the plant a
+considerable time in flower; according to LINNÆUS'S generic character,
+every other filament should be dilated at the base, in the present
+species each filament is so, or rather sits as it were on a white
+glandular nectary, emarginated on the inside, and highly deserving of
+notice.
+
+In the greenhouse, where this plant has hitherto been kept, its blossoms
+come forth as early as January and February, and continue for several
+months; they will long display their beauty, if the stem be cut off and
+put in a phial of water.
+
+It is propagated by offsets from its bulbs, and has the appearance of
+being a plant of kindly growth and easy management.

+
+
+There is no difficulty in determining the British plants of this genus,
+but much in ascertaining many of the foreign ones: Professor JACQUIN has
+taken great pains to elucidate them in his _Miscel. Austr._ where
+fifteen are specifically described, none of which accord exactly with
+the plant here figured, which has every appearance of being a distinct
+species: in the _Hortus Kewensis_ it is described as the _glutinosa_ of
+the _Flora Austriaca_, with which it agrees in many respects, but
+specimens sent from Vienna shew it to be a different plant; in its
+farinaceous tendency it accords with the _Primula Auricula_, but is very
+unlike that plant as it is figured in its wild state by Prof. _Jacquin_,
+in the _Fl. Austr._ the leaves being much narrower, the flowers larger,
+and of a different colour; it differs from _glutinosa_ in the shortness
+of its involucrum, from _villosa_ (already figured) in having leaves
+much narrower, perfectly smooth in respect to villi, and in the colour
+of its blossoms, which approach that of the Lilac, but more especially
+in its disposition to become mealy, particularly on the edges of its
+leaves, between the serratures, where it is so strong as to make the
+leaf appear with a white or silvery edge; as this character is constant
+to it, and not to any other species of Primula that we are acquainted
+with, we have given to it the name of _marginata_.
+
+Mr. _Lee_ received it from the Alps in the year 1781, and it has
+continued in our gardens ever since unaltered by culture.|
+
+It is a very delicate pretty plant, with a pleasing musky smell, and
+flowers in March and April. To succeed in its cultivation, it should be
+placed in a pot of stiffish loam, mixed with one-third rotten leaves,
+bog earth, or dung, and plunged in a north border, taking care that it
+does not suffer for want of water in dry seasons; thus treated, it
+increases by its roots nearly as readily as the Auricula, and may be
+propagated by parting its' roots early in April or September. |

+We have not figured the present species of Cypripedium so much on

+any of the other species that we are acquainted with.
+
+It is a native of different parts of North-America, and flowers with us
+in May.
+
+There is little difficulty in distinguishing it from the other foreign
+species, it has rarely more than two radical leaves, a very short
+flowering stem compared with the others, a large nectary in proportion
+to its size, which in the specimens we have seen has been divided on its
+upper part, through its whole length, so as in fact to destroy in a
+great degree that shoe or slipper-like form, from which this genus has
+taken its name.
+
+Like the rest of the family, it requires a little extraordinary care in
+its culture; its roots should be placed in a pot filled with loam and
+bog-earth, or rotten leaves, well mixed, and plunged in a north border,
+where in severe seasons it will be proper to shelter it; if the whole
+border be formed of the same soil or compost the pot will be less

+
+
+Under the name of _poeticus_ three different species of Narcissus
+appearing perfectly distinct (though similar in many respects) and
+regarded as such by the old Botanists, have been confounded by the
+moderns, viz.
+
+ Narcissus albus circulo purpureo, v et vi }
+ Narcissus albus magno odoro flore circulo pallido,} C. Bauh.
+ Narcissus pallidus circulo luteo }
+
+ Narcissus medio purpureus præcox, }
+ Narcissus medio purpureus serotinus,} Park Parad.
+ Narcissus medio luteus vulgaris, }
+
+The first of these, the one here figured is evidently the _poeticus_ of
+_Linnæus_, judging by the authors to whom he refers in the third edition
+of his _Spec. Pl._ which are indeed few in number, and confined chiefly
+to _Bauh. Pin._ _Dodonæus_; of the second, and third, he takes no
+notice.
+
+The two former ones of these have the greatest affinity, inasmuch as
+they both produce for the most part only one flower, of a white colour,
+having a very short nectary, edged with orange; to both of these
+LINNÆUS'S specific description is equally applicable, as well as the
+trivial name of _poeticus_, given them indiscriminately by several of
+the old Botanists, some regarding the first, some the second as the
+plant mentioned by THEOCRITUS[2], VIRGIL[3], and OVID[4]; unfortunately
+both of them are found to grow in the same meadows, and have the same
+obvious appearances, it is therefore utterly impossible to say which of
+the two was the Narcissus of the poets; if we have the greatest
+difficulty in ascertaining what the plants were of the _Botanists_ of
+those times, how are we to discover what the _Poets_ meant, who with
+very few exceptions have been unpardonably inattentive to the
+appearances of nature. Since then the term _poeticus_ is equally
+suitable to both, and as there cannot be two with the same name, we have
+thought it best to get rid of it altogether, and substitute others which
+tend in a certain degree to discriminate the several species,
+denominating the
+
+ 1st. _angustifolius._
+ 2d. _majalis._
+ 3d. _biflorus._
+
+The _angustifolius_ here figured is a native of the South of Europe, and
+said by MAGNOL and CLUSIUS to grow spontaneously in the meadows about
+Narbonne and Montpelier.
+
+It flowers in our gardens early in April, about a month before the
+_biflorus_, and full six weeks sooner than the _majalis_, increases
+readily by offsets, and succeeds best in a soil that is moderately
+moist. In what respects it differs from the two others, will be
+mentioned when they come to be figured.

+
+The Crown Imperial, a native of the East, most probably of Persia, was
+introduced according to DODONÆUS, into the gardens of the emperor and
+some of the nobility at Vienna in 1576; it appears to have been
+cultivated here as early as 1596: both GERARD and PARKINSON describe it
+minutely, the latter on account of its "stately beautifulness, gives it
+the first place in his garden of delight."
+
+It flowers usually in the beginning of April; the whole plant sends
+forth a strong unpleasant smell, compared by most writers to that of a
+fox, perceptible when you approach it; to this effluvia PARKINSON
+endeavours to reconcile us by saying that it is not unwholesome; it is
+so disagreeable however, that few choose to have many of these plants,
+or those in the most frequented parts of their gardens, yet it ought not
+to be proscribed, for independent of its beauty, there is much in it to
+admire, and especially its singular Nectaria, which in the form of a
+white glandular excavation decorate the base of each petal; in these
+usually stands a drop of clear nectareous juice; the peduncle or
+flower-stalk which bends downwards when the plant is in flower, becomes
+upright as the seed ripens.
+
+Of this plant, as of all others which have long been objects of culture,
+there are many varieties; those most generally cultivated in our gardens
+are the common orange-flowered single and double, yellow single and
+double, gold-striped leaved, and silver-striped leaved; the Dutch in
+their catalogues enumerate thirteen varieties.
+
+Luxuriant plants will sometimes produce a second and even a third whorl
+or crown of flowers, and the flat-stalked ones which are monsters, have
+been known to produce seventy-two blossoms, but none of these are found
+to be constant.
+
+The Crown Imperial, though a native of a much warmer climate than ours,
+is a hardy bulb, and not very nice in regard to soil, succeeds best in
+such as is stiffish, enriched with manure, and placed in a sheltered
+situation.
+
+Is propagated by offsets, which are produced in tolerable abundance.

+
+
+The present species of _Cheiranthus_, unknown both to MILLER and
+LINNÆUS, was first described in the _Hortus Kewensis_ of Mr. AITON, who
+informs us that it was introduced to the Royal Garden in 1777, and found
+wild in the Island of Madeira by Mr. MASSON.
+
+Its chief merit as an ornamental plant consists in its early flowering;
+its blossoms which are shewy contribute to enliven the green-house in
+March and April; on their first expanding, they are white, in some
+plants (for they are subject to great variation) inclined to yellow, in
+a few days they become purple; to this change of colour observable also
+in the _Cheiranthus maritimus_ already figured, it owes its name of
+_mutabilis_.
+
+In sheltered gardens at the foot of a wall, we have known this species
+survive a mild winter; it seems indeed to be almost as hardy as the
+common stock; it is most commonly however kept in the green-house.
+
+The usual way of propagating this species, which is of ready and quick
+growth, is by cuttings, which should be put into the ground as soon as
+the plant has done flowering; these if properly treated will become
+handsome plants to place in the green-house at the approach of Winter,
+and to decorate it the ensuing Spring; in like manner may the
+green-house be annually recruited with many similar plants to great
+advantage.

+
+
+The term _grandifolia_ would have been more applicable to this species
+of Saxifrage than _crassifolia_, for it is not so much distinguished for
+the thickness as the largeness of its leaves; these are almost equal in
+size to those of our broad-leaved Dock, red on the under and of a fine
+shining green on their upper surface; they may be ranked indeed among
+the more handsome kinds of foliage; the flowering stems, according to
+the richness and moisture of the soil in which they are planted, rise
+from one to two or even three feet high; at top supporting a large bunch
+of purple pendulous flowers, which blossom in April and May, and, if the
+season prove favourable, make a fine appearance. Should cold winds
+prevail at the time of their flowering, which they are very apt to do,
+the plants should be covered with a hand-glass; or, if in a pot, it may
+be removed into the green-house, which they will not disgrace.
+
+Is found spontaneously on the Alps of Siberia, and, according to Mr.
+AITON, was introduced in 1765 by Dr. SOLANDER. No plant is more readily
+increased by parting its roots, which may be done either in spring or
+autumn.
+
+There is another Saxifrage in our gardens exceedingly like this in
+appearance, but differing, in producing larger bunches of flowers, and
+in having larger, rounder, and more heart-shaped leaves; Mr. AITON
+regards this as a variety of the _crassifolia_, we are inclined to
+consider it as a species under the name of _cordifolia_. The parts of
+fructification in the _crassifolia_ are apt to be preternaturally
+increased.

+
+Both GERARD and PARKINSON describe and figure this plant, informing us
+that it was very common in the gardens in their time; the former indeed
+mentions it as growing wild in fields and sides of woods in the West of
+England; the latter says he could never hear of its natural place of
+growth. CLUSIUS reports that he had been credibly informed of its
+growing wild in England; it probably may, but of this it remains for us
+to be more clearly ascertained; it undoubtedly is the plant mentioned by
+RAY in his Synopsis.
+
+As it grows readily, increases in a greater degree than most others and
+is both ornamental and odoriferous, it is no wonder that we meet with it
+in almost every garden, and that in abundance, flowering towards the end
+of April, about three weeks later than the angustifolia. It usually
+produces two flowers, hence we have called it biflorus; it frequently
+occurs with one, more rarely with three, in a high state of culture it
+probably may be found with more; when it has only one flower it may
+easily be mistaken for the _majalis_, but may be thus distinguished from
+it; its petals are of a more yellow hue, the nectary is wholly yellow,
+wanting the orange rim, it flowers at least three weeks earlier; but the
+character, which by observation we have found most to be depended on,
+exists in the flowering stem, the top of which in the biflorus, very
+soon after it emerges from the ground, bends down and becomes elbowed,
+as our figure represents; in the _majalis_, it continues upright till
+within a short time of the flowers expanding.

+distinguished by the whiteness of its stalks and of the underside of its
+leaves, is described, and in which we are informed, that it is a native
+of the Cape, from whence it was introduced by Mr. MASSON in 1774.
+
+Its principal period of flowering is from about the beginning of May to
+the middle of June, at which time it is highly ornamental in the
+green-house: strong healthy plants produce from five to eight blossoms
+in a spike: on a plant growing with Mr. COLVILL, Nurseryman,
+King's-Road, Chelsea, we once counted nine: a few of these usually
+produce seed-vessels containing perfect seeds, by which the plant is
+mostly propagated; it may also be raised by cuttings, but not very

+CLUSIUS and JACQUIN, by both of whom this species of Aster is figured

+Alps: of the many hardy herbaceous species cultivated in our garden,
+this is by far the most humble in is growth; in its wild state acquiring
+the height of about four inches, and when cultivated, rarely exceeding
+eight or nine: its blossoms for its size are large and shewy, making
+their appearance much earlier than any of the others, viz. about the end
+of May and beginning of June, and continuing in blossom three weeks or a
+month.
+
+It is readily propagated by parting its roots in the autumn, may be kept
+in pots, or planted in the open border, prefers a moist stiffish soil;
+if carefully watered in dry weather, will grow among rock-work, for
+which, from its size, it is well adapted.

+The drawing here exhibited gives but a faint idea of the elegant and

+
+It is a hardy annual, of small stature, a native of Spain, and flowers
+during most of the summer.
+
+Was introduced into this country, according to Mr. AITON, in 1772, by
+Mons. RICHARD, and deserves to be much more generally cultivated.
+
+Some regard it as a biennial, but as seeds of it sown in the spring

+
+In every numerous tribe of plants, many of the species approach so near
+to each other, that there is much difficulty in distinguishing them;
+this objection cannot be urged against the present plant, which
+obviously differs from all the others of the same genus in the
+particular shape of its leaves and the colour of its blossoms, the
+latter are usually of a rich and very dark purple edged with white, from
+whence we apprehend it takes its name of _bicolor_; the colours however
+are scarcely distinct enough to justify such a name.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us in his _Hort. Kew._ that this very ornamental
+species was introduced in the year 1778, by JOHN, the late Earl of BUTE,
+but of what country it is a native, does not appear to be ascertained.
+
+Our drawing was made from a plant in the collection of Messrs. GRIMWOOD

+
+Its root is not only of the kind just mentioned, but creeping also; Mr.
+_Miller_ informs us, that he traced some of them belonging to plants of
+a year old, to the depth of three feet, they also spread out far and
+wide; hence the roots even of young plants are with difficulty taken up
+entire, and as they do not succeed well by transplanting, if the root be
+cut or broken, our excellent author prefers raising this elegant plant
+from seed, which, though not very plentifully produced, ripen in July
+and August; care must be taken to gather them as soon as ripe.
+
+It is a native of Virginia, and appears to have been cultivated in the
+Botanic Garden at Oxford, as long since as 1658.
+
+Flowers from May to July.
+
+Is a hardy perennial, succeeding best in a dry situation, with a loam

+
+
+Having cultivated the Geranium here figured for a series of years, we
+are perfectly satisfied of its being a species altogether distinct from
+any of the hardy and more ornamental plants of that genus usually
+cultivated in our gardens.
+
+It is obviously distinguished by two characters, the angular appearance
+of its stalk (whence our name of _angulatum_) and its flesh-coloured
+blossoms, marked with veins of a deeper red.
+
+In size it stands between _pratense_ and _aconitifolium_, in its
+blossoms it has some affinity to _striatum_ and _lancastriense_, but
+veins are not so strongly marked as in the former, and it differs from
+the latter in having an upright stalk.
+
+It usually flowers in May, and frequently again in autumn; is a hardy
+perennial, and easily increased either by seeds or parting its roots.
+
+Of what country it is a native, or when it was first introduced, we have
+yet to learn; we first observed it in a nursery near town, where it is
+regarded as a very different species.

+
+Like most alpine plants, it requires a pure air, and succeeds best in a

+
+It is a native of various mountainous parts of Europe, affecting moist,
+stony situations,[5] and flowers during most of the summer: is a hardy
+perennial[6], according to the celebrated author of the _Fl. Austriaca_;
+Mr. AITON, in his _Hort. Kew._ marks it as a biennial. It is
+nevertheless apt to be lost, like other small alpine plants, for want of
+proper treatment and care.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us on the authority of LOBEL, that it was cultivated
+here by Mr. HUGH MORGAN, in 1570.
+
+May be propagated by cuttings, as well as by seeds, which however are
+not very plentifully produced with us.
+
+Succeeds best when kept in a pot, or on rock-work, which it is well
+suited to decorate.

+
+LINNÆUS, in his _Spec. Pl._ appears not to have known of what country
+the Sweet William was a native, and even in the _Hortus Kewensis_, this
+circumstance is left undecided; yet DODONÆUS, in his _Pemptades_[7],
+mentions its being found wild in Germany, and PROF. HOFFMAN confirms
+this in his _Germanys Flora_[8].
+
+At the time DODONÆUS wrote (1552) this plant was cultivated in the
+Netherlands, from whence it was probably introduced to this country,
+where it certainly is one of the oldest inhabitants of our gardens.
+
+Beautiful as are the numerous varieties of this species of Dianthus,
+Florists have not deemed it worthy of that peculiar attention which they
+have bestowed on its more favoured relatives the Pink and Carnation, and
+hence it probably has not arrived at that degree of improvement of which
+it is capable; our figure is intended to represent one of the most
+esteemed of its kind, viz. the _Painted Lady_ variety, which has a deep
+rich purple eye, surrounded with a pure white, having the edge of the
+petals slightly indented; but our colours fall far short of the beauties
+of the original.
+
+Besides single flowers producing an infinite variety of colours, there
+are several double varieties of the Sweet William, some of which are
+observed to have more scent than others.
+
+To possess these plants in perfection, we must renew them yearly; for
+though the root be perennial, it is apt to decay, especially if the soil
+in which it grows be either very moist, or very dry; or if the air be
+not pure, the single sorts must be raised from seeds, which should be
+saved from the choicest flowers; the double sorts may be increased by
+cuttings, pipings, or layers, in the same manner, and at the same time
+as Pinks and Carnations; the seed should be sown early in April, the
+seedlings transplanted into a bed in June, taking advantage of a wet day
+and placed about six inches asunder each way; in September they will be
+fit to transplant into the flower border, where they will blossom the
+ensuing summer, during the months of June and July, and ripen their seed
+in August.

+The _Melissa grandiflora_, a beautiful and hardy perennial, grows
+spontaneously on the hilly and mountainous parts of France, Italy, and
+Germany; GERARD mentions it as found wild in this country, which stands
+in need of further confirmation; there is little doubt, however, but he
+had cultivated the plant; as he says, "brought into the garden, it
+prospereth marvellous well and very easily soweth itself."
+
+It is the more valuable, as it flowers during most of the summer.
+
+There is a variety of it with white, and another with red flowers, both
+much inferior in size to those of the plant here figured, and therefore
+not worth cultivating; we have a variety also with variegated leaves
+which we obtained from seeds.
+
+This plant is readily propagated by parting its roots in autumn, and may
+also be raised from seeds, which are plentifully produced: as it rarely
+exceeds a foot in height, it becomes a suitable plant for the small
+flower border, or for the decoration of rock-work.
+
+The leaves when bruised have the smell of garden balm.

+Seeds of the plant here figured are sold in the seed-shops under the
+name of Venice Mallow, a name by which it was known in the time of
+GERARD and PARKINSON: Mr. AITON has changed this for the more scientific
+one of Bladder Hibiscus. Authors have also distinguished this plant by
+terms expressive of the short-lived expansion of its flowers, which
+GERARD says open at eight o'clock in the morning and close about nine,
+from whence he observes, that it might with propriety be called Malva
+horaria: MILLER lengthens the duration of its blowing to a few hours: we
+have frequently observed its blossoms continue sufficiently open to shew
+their beauty the greatest part of the day, more especially towards the
+close of summer.
+
+Few annuals are more admired than this, the inside of the flower is of
+delicate cream colour, having the centre embellished with a rich purple
+velvet, on which its golden antheræ are proudly conspicuous.
+
+It is said to be a native of Italy; a Cape variety, differing in
+hairiness and a few other particulars is mentioned by MILLER, and
+considered by him as a species.
+
+The least possible trouble attends the raising of this beautiful annual,
+as it readily ripens its seeds, which falling on the ground produce
+plants in abundance the ensuing spring; to have it flower as long as may
+be, it will be proper to sow it at two or three different periods.

+
+We here present our readers with the figure of a plant newly introduced
+from France by Mr. WILLIAMS, Nurseryman of Paris, collected originally
+in Peru by Mr. DOMBEY, whose flowers, if they do not equal those of the
+Fuchsia already figured in elegance of form and growth, surpass them
+somewhat in brilliancy of colour, whence it becomes a most desirable
+plant for the purpose of ornament.
+
+Professor JACQUIN, who first gave a figure and description of this
+plant, informs us in his Collectanea, that he received seeds of it from
+Professor ORTEGA of Madrid, under the name of _Celsia linearis_, which
+name he has adopted; and we, from respect to such authority, have
+continued; at the same time we must observe, that it ill accords with
+that genus: the blossoms while in bud fold up somewhat in the same
+manner as those of the Celsia, but on expansion they appear widely
+different; their shape indeed then becomes truly singular, resembling a
+half-formed imperfect corolla, its filaments are short and want the
+hairs which in part characterise the Celsia; its seed-vessels also are
+far from being round: its antheræ are large and close together, somewhat
+like those of the Solanum, and there is so little of inequality in them,
+that few students would be induced to refer its flowers to the class
+Didynamia.
+
+Being a native of a warm climate, it comes to the greatest perfection
+here when placed in a stove in which the heat is moderate; but it will
+succeed very well if treated as a tender green-house plant: it does not
+appear to be quite so hardy as the Fuchsia, nor to flower like that
+plant at all seasons, but usually produces its blossoms in the latter
+summer months, those are succeeded by seed-vessels producing perfect
+seeds, by which, as well as by cuttings, the plant is propagated.
+
+Its leaves, which are not deciduous, are linear, and more or less
+toothed, growing three together; this character however is somewhat
+obscured by others growing from their bosoms.

+
+
+Professor PALLAS, the celebrated Russian naturalist, discovered this
+species of Sedum in Siberia, and in the year 1780, introduced it to the
+royal garden at Kew; the younger LINNÆUS describes it minutely in his
+_Suppl. Plantarum_, and observes, that in its general form it much
+resembles the _Saxifraga rotundifolia_.
+
+Its leaves are flat as in many of the other species, and when the plant
+grows in an open situation, exposed to the sun, they become as well as
+the stalks of a bright red colour, which adds much to its beauty.
+
+It is the only hardy Sedum cultivated; in our gardens with a shrubby
+stalk, its leaves however are deciduous, so that in the winter it loses
+its verdure, it flowers in July and August, and is readily increased by
+cuttings.
+
+As most of this tribe grow readily, and many of them naturally on rocks
+and walls, they may be in general regarded as proper rock plants, some
+of them however are apt by the quickness of their growth to extend over
+and destroy plants of more value; this fault, if such it may be deemed,
+is not imputable to the _populifolius_.
+
+Some not knowing its native place of growth, keep it in the
+green-house.

+
+Of the genus Polygonum, the present well-known native of the East, as
+well as of India, is the principal one cultivated in our gardens for
+ornament, and is distinguished not less for its superior stature than
+the brilliancy of its flowers; it will frequently grow to the height of
+eight or ten feet, and become a formidable rival to the gigantic
+sun-flower.
+
+There is a dwarf variety of it, and another with white flowers; it has
+been observed to vary also in point of hairiness.
+
+It flowers from July to October, and produces abundance of seed, which,
+falling on the borders, generally comes up spontaneously in the spring;
+but it is most commonly sown in the spring with other annuals: when the
+seedlings appear, they should be thinned so as to stand a foot apart.
+This plant requires very little care, and will bear the smoke of London
+better than many others.

+
+About the year 1786, we received from Philadelphia, seeds of a plant
+collected at a considerable distance from that city, announced to us as
+new and rare, and which produced the present species of _Dracocephalum_:
+Mr. WATSON, Nurseryman at Islington, obtained the same plant from
+Carolina, about the same period.
+
+It is a hardy perennial, multiplying considerably by its roots, which
+creep somewhat; it must be planted in a moist soil, and shady situation,
+for such it affects, and in such only will it thrive.
+
+It flowers in August and September.
+
+It bears a considerable affinity to the _Dracocephalum virginianum_, to
+which, though a much rarer plant, it is inferior in point of beauty; it
+spreads more on the ground, its flowering stems are not altogether so
+upright, nor so tall, the leaves are broader, and the flowers in the
+spikes less numerous.

+
+
+In giving a representation of this species of Ranunculus, we have made a
+slight deviation from the strict letter of our plan, as expressed in the
+title page, which confines us to the figuring of foreign plants only; we
+have thought, however, that it would not be inconsistent with the spirit
+of the _Flower-Garden Displayed_, were we occasionally to introduce such
+English plants as have double flowers, and which, on that account, are
+thought worthy of a place in every garden; they are but few in number,
+and we flatter ourselves that this trifling alteration will be approved
+by our numerous readers.
+
+The _Ranunculus acris_ is the first that we offer of these; a plant, in
+its wild and single state, common in all our rich meadows, and in its
+improved, or to speak more botanically, in its monstrous state (all
+double flowers being monsters, for the most part formed from the
+preternatural multiplication of their petals) it has long been
+cultivated in gardens abroad, as well as here.
+
+There are certain ornamental plants of the perennial kind, which, if
+once introduced, will succeed with the least possible trouble, and
+therefore suit such as have little time to bestow on their
+flower-gardens; the present plant is one of those: if the soil in which
+we plant it be moist, it will grow most readily, and flower during the
+months of June and July; and it is easily increased, by parting its
+roots in autumn.

+
+
+Of the genus _Cypripedium_, Great-Britain produces only one, America
+several species; of these the _album_ here figured, (whose name is
+derived from the whiteness of its petals, and with which the nectary
+must not be confounded) is by far the most magnificent; indeed there are
+few flowers which to such singularity of structure add such elegance and
+beauty: it grows spontaneously in various parts of North-America, and
+chiefly in the woods; was introduced to the royal garden at Kew, by Mr.
+WILLIAM YOUNG about the year 1770, but was known to Mr. MILLER, and
+cultivated by him at Chelsea long before that period; this intelligent
+and truly practical author informs us, that all the sorts of Cypripedium
+are with difficulty preserved and propagated in gardens; he recommends
+them to be planted in a loamy soil, and in a situation where they may
+have the morning sun only; they must, he observes, for the above
+reasons, be procured from the places where they naturally grow; the
+roots should be seldom removed, for transplanting them prevents their
+flowering, which usually takes place in June.
+
+A greater proof of the difficulty of increasing these plants need not be
+adduced than their present scarcity, though vast numbers have been
+imported, how few can boast of possessing them, or of preserving them
+for any length of time; careful management in their cultivation will
+doubtless go far, but peculiarity of soil and situation would appear to
+be of greater importance: it is well known that certain plants thrive in
+certain districts only, the double yellow rose, for instance, barely
+exists near London, yet this plant I have seen growing most luxuriantly,
+and producing a profusion of bloom, in the late Mr. MASON'S garden,
+Cheshunt, Herts, and in which various Orchis's also acquired nearly
+twice their usual size,--enviable spot!

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

+<p>Of the several species of Colutea cultivated in our garden the one here
+figured, is distinguished by the brilliancy of its' flowers, the
+largeness of its pods, and the downy appearance of the under side of its
+leaves.</p>
+
+<p>It appears from the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i> to have been cultivated by Mr.
+<span class="smcap">James Sutherland</span> as long since as the year 1683 it was not however
+generally introduced to our gardens till the time of <span class="smcap">Miller</span>, who figured
+it in his <i>Icones</i>, it was then understood to be an &AElig;thiopian plant; Mr.
+<span class="smcap">Aiton</span> since describes it as a native of the Cape also; of course, we
+find it more tender than most of its kindred, and hence it is usually
+regarded as a greenhouse plant; yet, as it is not destroyed by a small
+degree of frost, it will frequently, like the myrtle survive a mild
+winter in the open border, especially if trained to a wall: it is rarely
+of more than two or three years duration.</p>
+
+<p>It is readily raised from seeds sown in the open ground, plants from
+which flower the August following, and, in favourable seasons, ripen
+their seeds; in order, however, that they may ripen them with more
+certainty, <span class="smcap">Miller</span>, recommends the sowing them early on a gentle hot-bed.</p>
+
+<p>A dry soil suits this species best.</p>

+<p>Such as are delighted with the singular rather than the beautiful

+
+<p>It been called <i>aurea</i>, from the colour of its flowers, <i>ferruginea</i>
+would perhaps have been more expressive of them; when they first open
+indeed they are of a yellow colour, but they quickly and constantly
+become of the colour of rusty iron.</p>
+
+<p>The leaves are nearly round, and have a pleasing silvery hue: a few of

+of the form described by <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span> in his specific character of the plant,

+leading us with more certainty to a knowledge of the plant; the colour
+of the leaves, the colour and unusual magnitude of the blossoms, are
+indisputably the most striking features of the species, and therefore to
+be resorted to: for my own part, as a friend to the advancement of the
+science, rather than as the follower of that great man, I see no good
+reason why colour should not in many instances, especially where
+expressive characters are wanting, form a part of the specific character
+in plants, as well as in animals: we are told indeed of its inconstancy.
+I would ask&mdash;who ever saw the colour of the leaves or blossoms of the
+present plant to vary? and, on the contrary, who ever saw its leaves
+constant in their form?</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Salvia aurea</i> is a native of the Cape, and was cultivated by Mr.
+<span class="smcap">Miller</span> in 1731, it is a hardy greenhouse plant, is readily propagated by
+cuttings, and flowers from May to November.</p>
+
+<p>If suffered to grow, it will become a shrub of the height of six or
+seven feet.</p>

+<p>To the Cape of Good Hope, that never-failing source of rare and

+others for the present species, which though not of that value, nor
+possessing the delicacy or fragrance of the blossoms of some others, is

+<p>The <i>Coronilla valentina</i> comes very near to the <i>glauca</i> already
+figured in this work, but may be distinguished by a little attention;
+the <i>valentina</i> has smaller leaves, which are more numerous, and more
+truly glaucous; the stipul&aelig;, which in the <i>glauca</i> are small, narrow,
+and pointed, in the <i>valentina</i> are large, and almost round, and in the
+young plant are strikingly conspicuous; as the plant comes into flower,
+they drop off; the <i>valentina</i> is not so much disposed to flower the
+year through as the <i>glauca</i>, but produces its blossoms chiefly in May,
+June, and July; the flowers of the <i>glauca</i> are observed to smell more
+strongly in the day-time, those of the <i>valentina</i> at all times diffuse
+a very powerful odour, so as even to scent a small greenhouse; we have
+often been amused with hearing the different opinions entertained of
+this smell, some speaking of it in terms of rapture, others ready to
+faint when they approach it: the flowers of the <i>valentina</i> are more
+disposed to produce seed-vessels than those of the <i>glauca</i>, the seeds
+of which usually ripen well, and afford the means of increasing the
+plant most readily. To have a succession of small handsome bushy plants
+for the greenhouse, the old ones must either be frequently cut down, or
+young ones raised from seed, or cuttings, the stems as they grow up
+becoming naked at bottom.</p>
+
+<p>It is a hardy greenhouse plant, and may be kept well enough through the
+winter in a common hot-bed frame, or planted against a south wall, and
+matted as myrtles usually are in such situations; we have known the
+<i>glauca</i>, treated in prove a charming ornament.</p>
+
+<p>It is a native of Spain, growing, as <span class="smcap">Clusius</span> informs us, by road-sides,
+in sandy places, and on the declivities of hills.</p>

+<p>We have bestowed on this plant the name of <i>aureum</i>, from the colour of
+its blossoms, which are usually of a bright orange or gold colour; in
+some specimens we have observed them of a paler hue, and consequently
+less beautiful.</p>
+
+<p>This highly ornamental species is of modern introduction, having been
+received by Mess. <span class="smcap">Lee</span> and <span class="smcap">Kennedy</span>, a few years since from the Cape, of
+which it is a native.</p>
+
+<p>The root is a whitish bulb, resembling in size and shape that of the
+<i>Lachenalia tricolor</i>, figured on plate 82 of this work, from whence
+spring three or four smooth, somewhat fleshy, upright, dark-green
+leaves, about half an inch wide, and three or four inches long, edged
+with white, and, if magnified, appearing fringed with very fine hairs or
+villi; the stalk is naked, from eight to twelve inches high, supporting
+many flowers, which spring from the al&aelig; of large, hollow, pointed
+bracte&aelig;, and which opening one after another, keep the plant a
+considerable time in flower; according to <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us's</span> generic character,
+every other filament should be dilated at the base, in the present
+species each filament is so, or rather sits as it were on a white
+glandular nectary, emarginated on the inside, and highly deserving of
+notice.</p>
+
+<p>In the greenhouse, where this plant has hitherto been kept, its blossoms
+come forth as early as January and February, and continue for several
+months; they will long display their beauty, if the stem be cut off and
+put in a phial of water.</p>
+
+<p>It is propagated by offsets from its bulbs, and has the appearance of
+being a plant of kindly growth and easy management.</p>

+<p>There is no difficulty in determining the British plants of this genus,
+but much in ascertaining many of the foreign ones: Professor <span class="smcap">Jacquin</span> has
+taken great pains to elucidate them in his <i>Miscel. Austr.</i> where
+fifteen are specifically described, none of which accord exactly with
+the plant here figured, which has every appearance of being a distinct
+species: in the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i> it is described as the <i>glutinosa</i> of
+the <i>Flora Austriaca</i>, with which it agrees in many respects, but
+specimens sent from Vienna shew it to be a different plant; in its
+farinaceous tendency it accords with the <i>Primula Auricula</i>, but is very
+unlike that plant as it is figured in its wild state by Prof. <i>Jacquin</i>,
+in the <i>Fl. Austr.</i> the leaves being much narrower, the flowers larger,
+and of a different colour; it differs from <i>glutinosa</i> in the shortness
+of its involucrum, from <i>villosa</i> (already figured) in having leaves
+much narrower, perfectly smooth in respect to villi, and in the colour
+of its blossoms, which approach that of the Lilac, but more especially
+in its disposition to become mealy, particularly on the edges of its
+leaves, between the serratures, where it is so strong as to make the
+leaf appear with a white or silvery edge; as this character is constant
+to it, and not to any other species of Primula that we are acquainted
+with, we have given to it the name of <i>marginata</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. <i>Lee</i> received it from the Alps in the year 1781, and it has
+continued in our gardens ever since unaltered by culture.|</p>
+
+<p>It is a very delicate pretty plant, with a pleasing musky smell, and
+flowers in March and April. To succeed in its cultivation, it should be
+placed in a pot of stiffish loam, mixed with one-third rotten leaves,
+bog earth, or dung, and plunged in a north border, taking care that it
+does not suffer for want of water in dry seasons; thus treated, it
+increases by its roots nearly as readily as the Auricula, and may be
+propagated by parting its' roots early in April or September. |</p>

+
+<p>We have not figured the present species of Cypripedium so much on
+account of its beauty as of its rarity, for it is far less handsome than
+any of the other species that we are acquainted with.</p>
+
+<p>It is a native of different parts of North-America, and flowers with us
+in May.</p>
+
+<p>There is little difficulty in distinguishing it from the other foreign
+species, it has rarely more than two radical leaves, a very short
+flowering stem compared with the others, a large nectary in proportion
+to its size, which in the specimens we have seen has been divided on its
+upper part, through its whole length, so as in fact to destroy in a
+great degree that shoe or slipper-like form, from which this genus has
+taken its name.</p>
+
+<p>Like the rest of the family, it requires a little extraordinary care in
+its culture; its roots should be placed in a pot filled with loam and
+bog-earth, or rotten leaves, well mixed, and plunged in a north border,
+where in severe seasons it will be proper to shelter it; if the whole
+border be formed of the same soil or compost the pot will be less

+
+<p>The first of these, the one here figured is evidently the <i>poeticus</i> of

+of his <i>Spec. Pl.</i> which are indeed few in number, and confined chiefly
+to <i>Bauh. Pin.</i> <i>Dodon&aelig;us</i>; of the second, and third, he takes no
+notice.</p>
+
+<p>The two former ones of these have the greatest affinity, inasmuch as
+they both produce for the most part only one flower, of a white colour,
+having a very short nectary, edged with orange; to both of these
+<span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us's</span> specific description is equally applicable, as well as the
+trivial name of <i>poeticus</i>, given them indiscriminately by several of

+difficulty in ascertaining what the plants were of the <i>Botanists</i> of
+those times, how are we to discover what the <i>Poets</i> meant, who with
+very few exceptions have been unpardonably inattentive to the
+appearances of nature. Since then the term <i>poeticus</i> is equally
+suitable to both, and as there cannot be two with the same name, we have

+<p>The Crown Imperial, a native of the East, most probably of Persia, was
+introduced according to <span class="smcap">Dodon&aelig;us</span>, into the gardens of the emperor and
+some of the nobility at Vienna in 1576; it appears to have been
+cultivated here as early as 1596: both <span class="smcap">Gerard</span> and <span class="smcap">Parkinson</span> describe it
+minutely, the latter on account of its "stately beautifulness, gives it
+the first place in his garden of delight."</p>
+
+<p>It flowers usually in the beginning of April; the whole plant sends
+forth a strong unpleasant smell, compared by most writers to that of a
+fox, perceptible when you approach it; to this effluvia <span class="smcap">Parkinson</span>
+endeavours to reconcile us by saying that it is not unwholesome; it is
+so disagreeable however, that few choose to have many of these plants,
+or those in the most frequented parts of their gardens, yet it ought not
+to be proscribed, for independent of its beauty, there is much in it to
+admire, and especially its singular Nectaria, which in the form of a
+white glandular excavation decorate the base of each petal; in these
+usually stands a drop of clear nectareous juice; the peduncle or
+flower-stalk which bends downwards when the plant is in flower, becomes
+upright as the seed ripens.</p>
+
+<p>Of this plant, as of all others which have long been objects of culture,
+there are many varieties; those most generally cultivated in our gardens
+are the common orange-flowered single and double, yellow single and
+double, gold-striped leaved, and silver-striped leaved; the Dutch in
+their catalogues enumerate thirteen varieties.</p>
+
+<p>Luxuriant plants will sometimes produce a second and even a third whorl
+or crown of flowers, and the flat-stalked ones which are monsters, have
+been known to produce seventy-two blossoms, but none of these are found
+to be constant.</p>
+
+<p>The Crown Imperial, though a native of a much warmer climate than ours,
+is a hardy bulb, and not very nice in regard to soil, succeeds best in
+such as is stiffish, enriched with manure, and placed in a sheltered
+situation.</p>
+
+<p>Is propagated by offsets, which are produced in tolerable abundance.</p>

+
+<p>The present species of <i>Cheiranthus</i>, unknown both to <span class="smcap">Miller</span> and
+<span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span>, was first described in the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i> of Mr. <span class="smcap">Aiton</span>, who
+informs us that it was introduced to the Royal Garden in 1777, and found
+wild in the Island of Madeira by Mr. <span class="smcap">Masson</span>.</p>
+
+<p>Its chief merit as an ornamental plant consists in its early flowering;
+its blossoms which are shewy contribute to enliven the green-house in
+March and April; on their first expanding, they are white, in some
+plants (for they are subject to great variation) inclined to yellow, in
+a few days they become purple; to this change of colour observable also
+in the <i>Cheiranthus maritimus</i> already figured, it owes its name of
+<i>mutabilis</i>.</p>
+
+<p>In sheltered gardens at the foot of a wall, we have known this species
+survive a mild winter; it seems indeed to be almost as hardy as the
+common stock; it is most commonly however kept in the green-house.</p>
+
+<p>The usual way of propagating this species, which is of ready and quick
+growth, is by cuttings, which should be put into the ground as soon as
+the plant has done flowering; these if properly treated will become
+handsome plants to place in the green-house at the approach of Winter,
+and to decorate it the ensuing Spring; in like manner may the
+green-house be annually recruited with many similar plants to great
+advantage.</p>

+<p>The term <i>grandifolia</i> would have been more applicable to this species
+of Saxifrage than <i>crassifolia</i>, for it is not so much distinguished for
+the thickness as the largeness of its leaves; these are almost equal in
+size to those of our broad-leaved Dock, red on the under and of a fine
+shining green on their upper surface; they may be ranked indeed among
+the more handsome kinds of foliage; the flowering stems, according to
+the richness and moisture of the soil in which they are planted, rise
+from one to two or even three feet high; at top supporting a large bunch
+of purple pendulous flowers, which blossom in April and May, and, if the
+season prove favourable, make a fine appearance. Should cold winds
+prevail at the time of their flowering, which they are very apt to do,
+the plants should be covered with a hand-glass; or, if in a pot, it may

+<p>Both <span class="smcap">Gerard</span> and <span class="smcap">Parkinson</span> describe and figure this plant, informing us
+that it was very common in the gardens in their time; the former indeed
+mentions it as growing wild in fields and sides of woods in the West of
+England; the latter says he could never hear of its natural place of
+growth. <span class="smcap">Clusius</span> reports that he had been credibly informed of its
+growing wild in England; it probably may, but of this it remains for us
+to be more clearly ascertained; it undoubtedly is the plant mentioned by
+<span class="smcap">Ray</span> in his Synopsis.</p>
+
+<p>As it grows readily, increases in a greater degree than most others and
+is both ornamental and odoriferous, it is no wonder that we meet with it
+in almost every garden, and that in abundance, flowering towards the end
+of April, about three weeks later than the angustifolia. It usually
+produces two flowers, hence we have called it biflorus; it frequently
+occurs with one, more rarely with three, in a high state of culture it
+probably may be found with more; when it has only one flower it may
+easily be mistaken for the <i>majalis</i>, but may be thus distinguished from
+it; its petals are of a more yellow hue, the nectary is wholly yellow,
+wanting the orange rim, it flowers at least three weeks earlier; but the
+character, which by observation we have found most to be depended on,
+exists in the flowering stem, the top of which in the biflorus, very
+soon after it emerges from the ground, bends down and becomes elbowed,
+as our figure represents; in the <i>majalis</i>, it continues upright till
+within a short time of the flowers expanding.</p>

+of the Cape, from whence it was introduced by Mr. <span class="smcap">Masson</span> in 1774.</p>
+
+<p>Its principal period of flowering is from about the beginning of May to
+the middle of June, at which time it is highly ornamental in the
+green-house: strong healthy plants produce from five to eight blossoms
+in a spike: on a plant growing with Mr. <span class="smcap">Colvill</span>, Nurseryman,
+King's-Road, Chelsea, we once counted nine: a few of these usually
+produce seed-vessels containing perfect seeds, by which the plant is
+mostly propagated; it may also be raised by cuttings, but not very

+
+<p>It is a hardy annual, of small stature, a native of Spain, and flowers

+any of the hardy and more ornamental plants of that genus usually
+cultivated in our gardens.</p>
+
+<p>It is obviously distinguished by two characters, the angular appearance
+of its stalk (whence our name of <i>angulatum</i>) and its flesh-coloured
+blossoms, marked with veins of a deeper red.</p>
+
+<p>In size it stands between <i>pratense</i> and <i>aconitifolium</i>, in its

+<p>Before the appearance of the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i>, <i>l&aelig;vigatum</i> was the term
+usually applied to this species of Geranium, by Botanists here, and that
+on account of the smooth and glossy appearance of its leaves; in that
+work Mr. <span class="smcap">Aiton</span> adopts the word <i>anemonefolium</i>, by which Mons. L.
+<span class="smcap">Heritier</span> had distinguished this species, from an idea that their shape
+afforded a more expressive character than their smoothness. We regret
+that the small size of our plate will not admit of our giving
+representation of those leaves, and of their mode of growth, which so
+strikingly characterizes the plant and adds so considerably to its
+beauty.</p>
+
+<p>Mr. <span class="smcap">Aiton</span> informs us that this species is a native of Madeira, from
+whence it was introduced here by Mr. <span class="smcap">Francis Masson</span> in 1778.</p>
+
+<p>It flowers from May to September, is usually and readily raised from
+seeds, nor is it so tender as many other green-house plants.</p>

+<p><span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span>, in his <i>Spec. Pl.</i> appears not to have known of what country
+the Sweet William was a native, and even in the <i>Hortus Kewensis</i>, this
+circumstance is left undecided; yet <span class="smcap">Dodon&aelig;us</span>, in his <i>Pemptades</i><a name="FNanchor_7_7" id="FNanchor_7_7"></a><a href="#Footnote_7_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a>,

+this in his <i>Germanys Flora</i><a name="FNanchor_8_8" id="FNanchor_8_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_8_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a>.</p>
+
+<p>At the time <span class="smcap">Dodon&aelig;us</span> wrote (1552) this plant was cultivated in the
+Netherlands, from whence it was probably introduced to this country,
+where it certainly is one of the oldest inhabitants of our gardens.</p>
+
+<p>Beautiful as are the numerous varieties of this species of Dianthus,
+Florists have not deemed it worthy of that peculiar attention which they
+have bestowed on its more favoured relatives the Pink and Carnation, and
+hence it probably has not arrived at that degree of improvement of which
+it is capable; our figure is intended to represent one of the most
+esteemed of its kind, viz. the <i>Painted Lady</i> variety, which has a deep
+rich purple eye, surrounded with a pure white, having the edge of the
+petals slightly indented; but our colours fall far short of the beauties
+of the original.</p>
+
+<p>Besides single flowers producing an infinite variety of colours, there
+are several double varieties of the Sweet William, some of which are
+observed to have more scent than others.</p>
+
+<p>To possess these plants in perfection, we must renew them yearly; for
+though the root be perennial, it is apt to decay, especially if the soil
+in which it grows be either very moist, or very dry; or if the air be
+not pure, the single sorts must be raised from seeds, which should be
+saved from the choicest flowers; the double sorts may be increased by
+cuttings, pipings, or layers, in the same manner, and at the same time
+as Pinks and Carnations; the seed should be sown early in April, the
+seedlings transplanted into a bed in June, taking advantage of a wet day
+and placed about six inches asunder each way; in September they will be
+fit to transplant into the flower border, where they will blossom the
+ensuing summer, during the months of June and July, and ripen their seed
+in August.</p>

+<p>We here present our readers with the figure of a plant newly introduced
+from France by Mr. <span class="smcap">Williams</span>, Nurseryman of Paris, collected originally
+in Peru by Mr. <span class="smcap">Dombey</span>, whose flowers, if they do not equal those of the
+Fuchsia already figured in elegance of form and growth, surpass them
+somewhat in brilliancy of colour, whence it becomes a most desirable
+plant for the purpose of ornament.</p>
+
+<p>Professor <span class="smcap">Jacquin</span>, who first gave a figure and description of this
+plant, informs us in his Collectanea, that he received seeds of it from
+Professor <span class="smcap">Ortega</span> of Madrid, under the name of <i>Celsia linearis</i>, which
+name he has adopted; and we, from respect to such authority, have
+continued; at the same time we must observe, that it ill accords with
+that genus: the blossoms while in bud fold up somewhat in the same
+manner as those of the Celsia, but on expansion they appear widely
+different; their shape indeed then becomes truly singular, resembling a
+half-formed imperfect corolla, its filaments are short and want the
+hairs which in part characterise the Celsia; its seed-vessels also are
+far from being round: its anther&aelig; are large and close together, somewhat
+like those of the Solanum, and there is so little of inequality in them,
+that few students would be induced to refer its flowers to the class
+Didynamia.</p>
+
+<p>Being a native of a warm climate, it comes to the greatest perfection
+here when placed in a stove in which the heat is moderate; but it will
+succeed very well if treated as a tender green-house plant: it does not
+appear to be quite so hardy as the Fuchsia, nor to flower like that
+plant at all seasons, but usually produces its blossoms in the latter
+summer months, those are succeeded by seed-vessels producing perfect
+seeds, by which, as well as by cuttings, the plant is propagated.</p>
+
+<p>Its leaves, which are not deciduous, are linear, and more or less
+toothed, growing three together; this character however is somewhat
+obscured by others growing from their bosoms.</p>

+<p>Professor <span class="smcap">Pallas</span>, the celebrated Russian naturalist, discovered this
+species of Sedum in Siberia, and in the year 1780, introduced it to the
+royal garden at Kew; the younger <span class="smcap">Linn&aelig;us</span> describes it minutely in his
+<i>Suppl. Plantarum</i>, and observes, that in its general form it much
+resembles the <i>Saxifraga rotundifolia</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Its leaves are flat as in many of the other species, and when the plant
+grows in an open situation, exposed to the sun, they become as well as
+the stalks of a bright red colour, which adds much to its beauty.</p>
+
+<p>It is the only hardy Sedum cultivated; in our gardens with a shrubby
+stalk, its leaves however are deciduous, so that in the winter it loses
+its verdure, it flowers in July and August, and is readily increased by
+cuttings.</p>
+
+<p>As most of this tribe grow readily, and many of them naturally on rocks
+and walls, they may be in general regarded as proper rock plants, some
+of them however are apt by the quickness of their growth to extend over
+and destroy plants of more value; this fault, if such it may be deemed,
+is not imputable to the <i>populifolius</i>.</p>

+<p>Of the genus Polygonum, the present well-known native of the East, as
+well as of India, is the principal one cultivated in our gardens for

+the brilliancy of its flowers; it will frequently grow to the height of

+

+
+<p>In giving a representation of this species of Ranunculus, we have made a
+slight deviation from the strict letter of our plan, as expressed in the
+title page, which confines us to the figuring of foreign plants only; we
+have thought, however, that it would not be inconsistent with the spirit
+of the <i>Flower-Garden Displayed</i>, were we occasionally to introduce such
+English plants as have double flowers, and which, on that account, are
+thought worthy of a place in every garden; they are but few in number,
+and we flatter ourselves that this trifling alteration will be approved
+by our numerous readers.</p>
+
+<p>The <i>Ranunculus acris</i> is the first that we offer of these; a plant, in
+its wild and single state, common in all our rich meadows, and in its
+improved, or to speak more botanically, in its monstrous state (all
+double flowers being monsters, for the most part formed from the
+preternatural multiplication of their petals) it has long been
+cultivated in gardens abroad, as well as here.</p>

+<p>There are certain ornamental plants of the perennial kind, which, if
+once introduced, will succeed with the least possible trouble, and
+therefore suit such as have little time to bestow on their
+flower-gardens; the present plant is one of those: if the soil in which

+months of June and July; and it is easily increased, by parting its
+roots in autumn.</p>

+
+<p>Of the genus <i>Cypripedium</i>, Great-Britain produces only one, America
+several species; of these the <i>album</i> here figured, (whose name is
+derived from the whiteness of its petals, and with which the nectary
+must not be confounded) is by far the most magnificent; indeed there are
+few flowers which to such singularity of structure add such elegance and
+beauty: it grows spontaneously in various parts of North-America, and
+chiefly in the woods; was introduced to the royal garden at Kew, by Mr.
+<span class="smcap">William Young</span> about the year 1770, but was known to Mr. <span class="smcap">Miller</span>, and
+cultivated by him at Chelsea long before that period; this intelligent
+and truly practical author informs us, that all the sorts of Cypripedium
+are with difficulty preserved and propagated in gardens; he recommends
+them to be planted in a loamy soil, and in a situation where they may
+have the morning sun only; they must, he observes, for the above
+reasons, be procured from the places where they naturally grow; the
+roots should be seldom removed, for transplanting them prevents their
+flowering, which usually takes place in June.</p>
+
+<p>A greater proof of the difficulty of increasing these plants need not be
+adduced than their present scarcity, though vast numbers have been
+imported, how few can boast of possessing them, or of preserving them
+for any length of time; careful management in their cultivation will
+doubtless go far, but peculiarity of soil and situation would appear to
+be of greater importance: it is well known that certain plants thrive in
+certain districts only, the double yellow rose, for instance, barely
+exists near London, yet this plant I have seen growing most luxuriantly,
+and producing a profusion of bloom, in the late Mr. <span class="smcap">Mason's</span> garden,
+Cheshunt, Herts, and in which various Orchis's also acquired nearly
+twice their usual size,&mdash;enviable spot!</p>

+
+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 https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+
+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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 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:
+
+ https://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.

+ COLUTEA aethiopica, flore purpureo. _Breyn. Cent. 70. t. 29._
+
+
+Of the several species of Colutea cultivated in our garden the one here
+figured, is distinguished by the brilliancy of its' flowers, the
+largeness of its pods, and the downy appearance of the under side of its
+leaves.
+
+It appears from the _Hortus Kewensis_ to have been cultivated by Mr.
+JAMES SUTHERLAND as long since as the year 1683 it was not however
+generally introduced to our gardens till the time of MILLER, who figured
+it in his _Icones_, it was then understood to be an AEthiopian plant; Mr.
+AITON since describes it as a native of the Cape also; of course, we
+find it more tender than most of its kindred, and hence it is usually
+regarded as a greenhouse plant; yet, as it is not destroyed by a small
+degree of frost, it will frequently, like the myrtle survive a mild
+winter in the open border, especially if trained to a wall: it is rarely
+of more than two or three years duration.
+
+It is readily raised from seeds sown in the open ground, plants from
+which flower the August following, and, in favourable seasons, ripen
+their seeds; in order, however, that they may ripen them with more
+certainty, MILLER, recommends the sowing them early on a gentle hot-bed.
+
+A dry soil suits this species best.

+
+ SALVIA _Africana_ frutescens folio subrotundo glauco, flore magno
+ aureo. _Comm. Hort. 2. 183. t. 92._
+
+
+Such as are delighted with the singular rather than the beautiful
+appearances of plants, cannot fail of ranking the present species of
+sage among their favourites.
+
+It been called _aurea_, from the colour of its flowers, _ferruginea_
+would perhaps have been more expressive of them; when they first open
+indeed they are of a yellow colour, but they quickly and constantly
+become of the colour of rusty iron.
+
+The leaves are nearly round, and have a pleasing silvery hue: a few of
+them only, and those chiefly at the extremities of the young shoots, are
+of the form described by LINNAEUS in his specific character of the plant,
+and hence COMMELIN'S description (_vid. Syn._) is to be preferred, as
+leading us with more certainty to a knowledge of the plant; the colour
+of the leaves, the colour and unusual magnitude of the blossoms, are
+indisputably the most striking features of the species, and therefore to
+be resorted to: for my own part, as a friend to the advancement of the
+science, rather than as the follower of that great man, I see no good
+reason why colour should not in many instances, especially where
+expressive characters are wanting, form a part of the specific character
+in plants, as well as in animals: we are told indeed of its inconstancy.
+I would ask--who ever saw the colour of the leaves or blossoms of the
+present plant to vary? and, on the contrary, who ever saw its leaves
+constant in their form?
+
+The _Salvia aurea_ is a native of the Cape, and was cultivated by Mr.
+MILLER in 1731, it is a hardy greenhouse plant, is readily propagated by
+cuttings, and flowers from May to November.
+
+If suffered to grow, it will become a shrub of the height of six or
+seven feet.

+
+ SYRINGA caerulea, _Bauh. Pin. 398._
+
+ LILAC sive Syringa caerulea. The blew Pipe tree. _Park. Parad. p.
+ 407._
+
+
+Few shrubs are better known in this country than the Lilac few more
+universally cultivated; there is scarcely a cottage it does not enliven,
+or a shrubbery it does not beautify.
+
+It has long had a place in our gardens; both GERARD and PARKINSON
+describe two sorts, the blue and the white; to these another sort is
+added by more modern writers, superior in beauty to the original, as
+producing larger bunches of flowers, of a brighter hue, having more of
+the purple tint and hence called by some the purple Lilac, MILLER
+considers the three as different species.
+
+The flowers of the Lilac possess a considerable degree of fragrance, but
+not of the most agreeable kind; our readers perhaps, will not be
+displeased to hear the opinion of old GERARD on this point, delivered in
+his own words:--"They have a pleasant sweete smell, but in my judgement
+they are too sweete, troubling and molesting the head in very strange
+manner: I once gathered the flowers, and laid them in my chamber window,
+which smelled more strongly after they had lien together a few howers,
+with such a ponticke and unacquainted savor, that they awaked me from
+sleepe, so that I could not take any rest until I had cast them out of
+my chamber."[1]
+
+Though a native of Persia, it bears our severest winters without injury,
+has a pleasing appearance when in bud, flowers in May, and is readily
+propagated by suckers; but finer plants, in the opinion of MILLER, are
+raised from seeds.
+
+It will grow in almost any soil or situation, even in London, but, to
+flower well, it must have a pure air.
+
+[Footnote 1: The name, indeed, of one of our colours is taken from its
+blossoms.
+
+ This Quotation from Gerard referring to its Smell belongs to the
+ Philadelphus coronarius or Mock-orange which both by him and
+ Parkinson is called Syringa, & which led to the Mistake.]

+
+
+To the Cape of Good Hope, that never-failing source of rare and
+beautiful plants, we are indebted for most of our Ixias, and among
+others for the present species, which though not of that value, nor
+possessing the delicacy or fragrance of the blossoms of some others, is
+a very desirable plant, not only as an object of curiosity, from the
+transparency of the base of the corolla, but as it adds much to the
+brilliancy of a collection, is easily obtained, and as easily
+propagated.
+
+It flowers in May and June, but its flowering may be prolonged by
+putting its bulbs into pots at different periods, or accelerated by
+artificial heat.
+
+It produces offsets more plentifully than many of the genus.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us that it was cultivated by Mr. MILLER in 1758, who
+figures it in his _Icones_.

+CORONILLA VALENTINA. RUE-LEAVED CORONILLA.

+
+_Generic Character._
+

+_Specific Character and Synonyms._
+
+ CORONILLA _valentina_ fruticosa, foliolis subnovenis, stipulis
+ suborbiculatis. _Linn. Syst. Vegetab. ed. 14. Murr. p. 669._ _Ait.
+ Hort. Kew. V. 3. p. 58._
+
+ POLYGALA valentina. _Clus. hist. pl. rar. p. 98. fig. inf._
+
+
+The _Coronilla valentina_ comes very near to the _glauca_ already
+figured in this work, but may be distinguished by a little attention;
+the _valentina_ has smaller leaves, which are more numerous, and more
+truly glaucous; the stipulae, which in the _glauca_ are small, narrow,
+and pointed, in the _valentina_ are large, and almost round, and in the
+young plant are strikingly conspicuous; as the plant comes into flower,
+they drop off; the _valentina_ is not so much disposed to flower the
+year through as the _glauca_, but produces its blossoms chiefly in May,
+June, and July; the flowers of the _glauca_ are observed to smell more
+strongly in the day-time, those of the _valentina_ at all times diffuse
+a very powerful odour, so as even to scent a small greenhouse; we have
+often been amused with hearing the different opinions entertained of
+this smell, some speaking of it in terms of rapture, others ready to
+faint when they approach it: the flowers of the _valentina_ are more
+disposed to produce seed-vessels than those of the _glauca_, the seeds
+of which usually ripen well, and afford the means of increasing the
+plant most readily. To have a succession of small handsome bushy plants
+for the greenhouse, the old ones must either be frequently cut down, or
+young ones raised from seed, or cuttings, the stems as they grow up
+becoming naked at bottom.
+
+It is a hardy greenhouse plant, and may be kept well enough through the
+winter in a common hot-bed frame, or planted against a south wall, and
+matted as myrtles usually are in such situations; we have known the
+_glauca_, treated in prove a charming ornament.
+
+It is a native of Spain, growing, as CLUSIUS informs us, by road-sides,
+in sandy places, and on the declivities of hills.
+
+Cultivated here in 1656, by J. TRADESCANT, jun. H. K.

+
+ SELAGO _ovata_ spicis strobilinis ovatis terminalibus, foliis
+ sparsis linearibus, caule fruticoso. _L'Herit. Stirp. nov. tom. 2.
+ t. 33._ _Ait. Hort. Kew. V. 2. p. 355._
+
+ LIPPIA _ovata_ capitulis ovatis, foliis linearibus integerrimis.
+ _Linn. Mant. p. 89._
+
+
+LINNAEUS in his _Mantissa_ has somewhat largely described this plant
+under the name of _Lippia ovata_, evidently from a dried specimen, which
+may account for the flowers being described of a dark violet colour; he
+recommends it to such as might have an opportunity of seeing the living
+plant, to observe if it was not referable to some other genus;
+accordingly Mons. L'HERITIER, who, when lately in England, saw it in the
+royal garden at Kew, joined it to the genus _Selago_, retaining the
+trivial name of _ovata, bractaeata_ would perhaps have been a better
+name; for though its ovate inflorescence may be peculiar to the species,
+its bracteae or floral leaves are so very singular that they constitute
+the most prominent feature of the plant.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us, that it was introduced to the royal garden at Kew,
+from the Cape, by Mr. MASSON, in 1774.
+
+It recommends itself not so much on account of its beauty, curious
+structure of its flowering spikes, and the fragrance of its blossoms.
+
+It is a greenhouse plant, and flowers during most of the summer; its
+blossoms are white with a yellow spot on the two uppermost, and
+sometimes on all the segments of the corolla, and an orange spot at the
+mouth of the tube.
+
+Is propagated by cuttings.

+ IRIS latifolia germanica, sambuci odore. _Bauh. Pin. 31._
+
+ IRIS Camerarii sive purpurea versicolor major. The greater variable
+ coloured purple Flower-de-Luce. _Park. Par. p. 181._
+
+
+This species of Iris, said to be a native of the South of Europe,
+derives its name from the smell of its flowers, which very much
+resembles that of elder in bloom.
+
+It is one of the tallest and handsomest of the genus, in a rich moist
+soil acquiring the height of three feet or more; it is therefore more
+proper for the shrubbery than the flower-garden.
+
+It flowers about the latter end of May, and is readily increased by
+parting its roots in autumn.
+
+The Iris of PARKINSON, referred to in the synonyms, accords so exactly
+with our plant, in every circumstance but smell, which is not mentioned,
+that we have no doubt but it was cultivated in our gardens in his time.

+All our writers on exotic botany treat of this plant, GERARD, one of the
+first, gives us the following account: "This beautiful Bindweed, which
+we call _Convolvulus Caeruleus_, is called of the Arabians _Nil_: of
+_Serapio_, _Hab al nil_, about Alepo and Tripolis in Syria, the
+inhabitants call it Hasmisen, the Italians _Campana azurea_, of the
+beautifull azured flowers and also _Fior de notte_, bicause his beautie
+appeereth most in the night:" he informs us, that it grew in his garden,
+but perished before it ripened its seeds. PARKINSON says, it thrives
+remarkably well in our country, if the year be any thing kindly: MILLER
+informs us, that it is a native of Africa and America, extols it as one
+of the most beautiful of the genus, observes, that it is a very distinct
+species from the purpurea, of which it has been considered by some as a
+variety; that it will grow to the height of eight or ten feet, that in
+favourable seasons the seeds will ripen in the open air, and that it
+requires the same treatment as other annuals usually raised on a
+hot-bed. Mr. AITON considers it as a stove plant, as indeed most of our
+tender annuals properly are.
+
+It flowers from July to September.
+
+Though apparently common in our gardens formerly, it is now very rarely
+met with.

+
+
+We have bestowed on this plant the name of _aureum_, from the colour of
+its blossoms, which are usually of a bright orange or gold colour; in
+some specimens we have observed them of a paler hue, and consequently
+less beautiful.
+
+This highly ornamental species is of modern introduction, having been
+received by Mess. LEE and KENNEDY, a few years since from the Cape, of
+which it is a native.
+
+The root is a whitish bulb, resembling in size and shape that of the
+_Lachenalia tricolor_, figured on plate 82 of this work, from whence
+spring three or four smooth, somewhat fleshy, upright, dark-green
+leaves, about half an inch wide, and three or four inches long, edged
+with white, and, if magnified, appearing fringed with very fine hairs or
+villi; the stalk is naked, from eight to twelve inches high, supporting
+many flowers, which spring from the alae of large, hollow, pointed
+bracteae, and which opening one after another, keep the plant a
+considerable time in flower; according to LINNAEUS'S generic character,
+every other filament should be dilated at the base, in the present
+species each filament is so, or rather sits as it were on a white
+glandular nectary, emarginated on the inside, and highly deserving of
+notice.
+
+In the greenhouse, where this plant has hitherto been kept, its blossoms
+come forth as early as January and February, and continue for several
+months; they will long display their beauty, if the stem be cut off and
+put in a phial of water.
+
+It is propagated by offsets from its bulbs, and has the appearance of
+being a plant of kindly growth and easy management.

+
+
+There is no difficulty in determining the British plants of this genus,
+but much in ascertaining many of the foreign ones: Professor JACQUIN has
+taken great pains to elucidate them in his _Miscel. Austr._ where
+fifteen are specifically described, none of which accord exactly with
+the plant here figured, which has every appearance of being a distinct
+species: in the _Hortus Kewensis_ it is described as the _glutinosa_ of
+the _Flora Austriaca_, with which it agrees in many respects, but
+specimens sent from Vienna shew it to be a different plant; in its
+farinaceous tendency it accords with the _Primula Auricula_, but is very
+unlike that plant as it is figured in its wild state by Prof. _Jacquin_,
+in the _Fl. Austr._ the leaves being much narrower, the flowers larger,
+and of a different colour; it differs from _glutinosa_ in the shortness
+of its involucrum, from _villosa_ (already figured) in having leaves
+much narrower, perfectly smooth in respect to villi, and in the colour
+of its blossoms, which approach that of the Lilac, but more especially
+in its disposition to become mealy, particularly on the edges of its
+leaves, between the serratures, where it is so strong as to make the
+leaf appear with a white or silvery edge; as this character is constant
+to it, and not to any other species of Primula that we are acquainted
+with, we have given to it the name of _marginata_.
+
+Mr. _Lee_ received it from the Alps in the year 1781, and it has
+continued in our gardens ever since unaltered by culture.|
+
+It is a very delicate pretty plant, with a pleasing musky smell, and
+flowers in March and April. To succeed in its cultivation, it should be
+placed in a pot of stiffish loam, mixed with one-third rotten leaves,
+bog earth, or dung, and plunged in a north border, taking care that it
+does not suffer for want of water in dry seasons; thus treated, it
+increases by its roots nearly as readily as the Auricula, and may be
+propagated by parting its' roots early in April or September. |

+
+We have not figured the present species of Cypripedium so much on
+account of its beauty as of its rarity, for it is far less handsome than
+any of the other species that we are acquainted with.
+
+It is a native of different parts of North-America, and flowers with us
+in May.
+
+There is little difficulty in distinguishing it from the other foreign
+species, it has rarely more than two radical leaves, a very short
+flowering stem compared with the others, a large nectary in proportion
+to its size, which in the specimens we have seen has been divided on its
+upper part, through its whole length, so as in fact to destroy in a
+great degree that shoe or slipper-like form, from which this genus has
+taken its name.
+
+Like the rest of the family, it requires a little extraordinary care in
+its culture; its roots should be placed in a pot filled with loam and
+bog-earth, or rotten leaves, well mixed, and plunged in a north border,
+where in severe seasons it will be proper to shelter it; if the whole
+border be formed of the same soil or compost the pot will be less

+
+
+Under the name of _poeticus_ three different species of Narcissus
+appearing perfectly distinct (though similar in many respects) and
+regarded as such by the old Botanists, have been confounded by the
+moderns, viz.
+
+ Narcissus albus circulo purpureo, v et vi }
+ Narcissus albus magno odoro flore circulo pallido,} C. Bauh.
+ Narcissus pallidus circulo luteo }
+
+ Narcissus medio purpureus praecox, }
+ Narcissus medio purpureus serotinus,} Park Parad.
+ Narcissus medio luteus vulgaris, }
+
+The first of these, the one here figured is evidently the _poeticus_ of
+_Linnaeus_, judging by the authors to whom he refers in the third edition
+of his _Spec. Pl._ which are indeed few in number, and confined chiefly
+to _Bauh. Pin._ _Dodonaeus_; of the second, and third, he takes no
+notice.
+
+The two former ones of these have the greatest affinity, inasmuch as
+they both produce for the most part only one flower, of a white colour,
+having a very short nectary, edged with orange; to both of these
+LINNAEUS'S specific description is equally applicable, as well as the
+trivial name of _poeticus_, given them indiscriminately by several of
+the old Botanists, some regarding the first, some the second as the
+plant mentioned by THEOCRITUS[2], VIRGIL[3], and OVID[4]; unfortunately
+both of them are found to grow in the same meadows, and have the same
+obvious appearances, it is therefore utterly impossible to say which of
+the two was the Narcissus of the poets; if we have the greatest
+difficulty in ascertaining what the plants were of the _Botanists_ of
+those times, how are we to discover what the _Poets_ meant, who with
+very few exceptions have been unpardonably inattentive to the
+appearances of nature. Since then the term _poeticus_ is equally
+suitable to both, and as there cannot be two with the same name, we have
+thought it best to get rid of it altogether, and substitute others which
+tend in a certain degree to discriminate the several species,
+denominating the
+
+ 1st. _angustifolius._
+ 2d. _majalis._
+ 3d. _biflorus._
+
+The _angustifolius_ here figured is a native of the South of Europe, and
+said by MAGNOL and CLUSIUS to grow spontaneously in the meadows about
+Narbonne and Montpelier.
+
+It flowers in our gardens early in April, about a month before the
+_biflorus_, and full six weeks sooner than the _majalis_, increases
+readily by offsets, and succeeds best in a soil that is moderately
+moist. In what respects it differs from the two others, will be
+mentioned when they come to be figured.

+
+
+The Crown Imperial, a native of the East, most probably of Persia, was
+introduced according to DODONAEUS, into the gardens of the emperor and
+some of the nobility at Vienna in 1576; it appears to have been
+cultivated here as early as 1596: both GERARD and PARKINSON describe it
+minutely, the latter on account of its "stately beautifulness, gives it
+the first place in his garden of delight."
+
+It flowers usually in the beginning of April; the whole plant sends
+forth a strong unpleasant smell, compared by most writers to that of a
+fox, perceptible when you approach it; to this effluvia PARKINSON
+endeavours to reconcile us by saying that it is not unwholesome; it is
+so disagreeable however, that few choose to have many of these plants,
+or those in the most frequented parts of their gardens, yet it ought not
+to be proscribed, for independent of its beauty, there is much in it to
+admire, and especially its singular Nectaria, which in the form of a
+white glandular excavation decorate the base of each petal; in these
+usually stands a drop of clear nectareous juice; the peduncle or
+flower-stalk which bends downwards when the plant is in flower, becomes
+upright as the seed ripens.
+
+Of this plant, as of all others which have long been objects of culture,
+there are many varieties; those most generally cultivated in our gardens
+are the common orange-flowered single and double, yellow single and
+double, gold-striped leaved, and silver-striped leaved; the Dutch in
+their catalogues enumerate thirteen varieties.
+
+Luxuriant plants will sometimes produce a second and even a third whorl
+or crown of flowers, and the flat-stalked ones which are monsters, have
+been known to produce seventy-two blossoms, but none of these are found
+to be constant.
+
+The Crown Imperial, though a native of a much warmer climate than ours,
+is a hardy bulb, and not very nice in regard to soil, succeeds best in
+such as is stiffish, enriched with manure, and placed in a sheltered
+situation.
+
+Is propagated by offsets, which are produced in tolerable abundance.

+
+
+The present species of _Cheiranthus_, unknown both to MILLER and
+LINNAEUS, was first described in the _Hortus Kewensis_ of Mr. AITON, who
+informs us that it was introduced to the Royal Garden in 1777, and found
+wild in the Island of Madeira by Mr. MASSON.
+
+Its chief merit as an ornamental plant consists in its early flowering;
+its blossoms which are shewy contribute to enliven the green-house in
+March and April; on their first expanding, they are white, in some
+plants (for they are subject to great variation) inclined to yellow, in
+a few days they become purple; to this change of colour observable also
+in the _Cheiranthus maritimus_ already figured, it owes its name of
+_mutabilis_.
+
+In sheltered gardens at the foot of a wall, we have known this species
+survive a mild winter; it seems indeed to be almost as hardy as the
+common stock; it is most commonly however kept in the green-house.
+
+The usual way of propagating this species, which is of ready and quick
+growth, is by cuttings, which should be put into the ground as soon as
+the plant has done flowering; these if properly treated will become
+handsome plants to place in the green-house at the approach of Winter,
+and to decorate it the ensuing Spring; in like manner may the
+green-house be annually recruited with many similar plants to great
+advantage.

+
+ SAXIFRAGA foliis ovalibus crenulatis, caulibus nudis. _Gmel. Sib.
+ 4. p. 166. t. 66._
+
+
+The term _grandifolia_ would have been more applicable to this species
+of Saxifrage than _crassifolia_, for it is not so much distinguished for
+the thickness as the largeness of its leaves; these are almost equal in
+size to those of our broad-leaved Dock, red on the under and of a fine
+shining green on their upper surface; they may be ranked indeed among
+the more handsome kinds of foliage; the flowering stems, according to
+the richness and moisture of the soil in which they are planted, rise
+from one to two or even three feet high; at top supporting a large bunch
+of purple pendulous flowers, which blossom in April and May, and, if the
+season prove favourable, make a fine appearance. Should cold winds
+prevail at the time of their flowering, which they are very apt to do,
+the plants should be covered with a hand-glass; or, if in a pot, it may
+be removed into the green-house, which they will not disgrace.
+
+Is found spontaneously on the Alps of Siberia, and, according to Mr.
+AITON, was introduced in 1765 by Dr. SOLANDER. No plant is more readily
+increased by parting its roots, which may be done either in spring or
+autumn.
+
+There is another Saxifrage in our gardens exceedingly like this in
+appearance, but differing, in producing larger bunches of flowers, and
+in having larger, rounder, and more heart-shaped leaves; Mr. AITON
+regards this as a variety of the _crassifolia_, we are inclined to
+consider it as a species under the name of _cordifolia_. The parts of
+fructification in the _crassifolia_ are apt to be preternaturally
+increased.

+
+Both GERARD and PARKINSON describe and figure this plant, informing us
+that it was very common in the gardens in their time; the former indeed
+mentions it as growing wild in fields and sides of woods in the West of
+England; the latter says he could never hear of its natural place of
+growth. CLUSIUS reports that he had been credibly informed of its
+growing wild in England; it probably may, but of this it remains for us
+to be more clearly ascertained; it undoubtedly is the plant mentioned by
+RAY in his Synopsis.
+
+As it grows readily, increases in a greater degree than most others and
+is both ornamental and odoriferous, it is no wonder that we meet with it
+in almost every garden, and that in abundance, flowering towards the end
+of April, about three weeks later than the angustifolia. It usually
+produces two flowers, hence we have called it biflorus; it frequently
+occurs with one, more rarely with three, in a high state of culture it
+probably may be found with more; when it has only one flower it may
+easily be mistaken for the _majalis_, but may be thus distinguished from
+it; its petals are of a more yellow hue, the nectary is wholly yellow,
+wanting the orange rim, it flowers at least three weeks earlier; but the
+character, which by observation we have found most to be depended on,
+exists in the flowering stem, the top of which in the biflorus, very
+soon after it emerges from the ground, bends down and becomes elbowed,
+as our figure represents; in the _majalis_, it continues upright till
+within a short time of the flowers expanding.

+leaves, is described, and in which we are informed, that it is a native
+of the Cape, from whence it was introduced by Mr. MASSON in 1774.
+
+Its principal period of flowering is from about the beginning of May to

+in a spike: on a plant growing with Mr. COLVILL, Nurseryman,

+CLUSIUS and JACQUIN, by both of whom this species of Aster is figured
+and described, inform us, that it grows spontaneously on the Austrian
+Alps: of the many hardy herbaceous species cultivated in our garden,
+this is by far the most humble in is growth; in its wild state acquiring
+the height of about four inches, and when cultivated, rarely exceeding
+eight or nine: its blossoms for its size are large and shewy, making
+their appearance much earlier than any of the others, viz. about the end
+of May and beginning of June, and continuing in blossom three weeks or a
+month.
+
+It is readily propagated by parting its roots in the autumn, may be kept
+in pots, or planted in the open border, prefers a moist stiffish soil;
+if carefully watered in dry weather, will grow among rock-work, for
+which, from its size, it is well adapted.

+The drawing here exhibited gives but a faint idea of the elegant and
+lively appearance which this plant assumes when it grows in a tuft, and
+a number of its branches are in blossom at the same time.
+
+It is a hardy annual, of small stature, a native of Spain, and flowers
+during most of the summer.
+
+Was introduced into this country, according to Mr. AITON, in 1772, by
+Mons. RICHARD, and deserves to be much more generally cultivated.
+
+Some regard it as a biennial, but as seeds of it sown in the spring
+flower the ensuing summer, and as the plant dies when it has ripened its
+seeds, there appears more propriety in considering it as an annual.
+
+It is to be sown in the same manner as other hardy annuals; will flower
+earlier if the seeds have been raised in autumn.
+
+The upper part of the stalk, as well as the leaves of the calyx, are
+beset with viscous hairs, in which respect it does not perfectly accord

+In every numerous tribe of plants, many of the species approach so near
+to each other, that there is much difficulty in distinguishing them;
+this objection cannot be urged against the present plant, which
+obviously differs from all the others of the same genus in the
+particular shape of its leaves and the colour of its blossoms, the
+latter are usually of a rich and very dark purple edged with white, from
+whence we apprehend it takes its name of _bicolor_; the colours however
+are scarcely distinct enough to justify such a name.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us in his _Hort. Kew._ that this very ornamental
+species was introduced in the year 1778, by JOHN, the late Earl of BUTE,
+but of what country it is a native, does not appear to be ascertained.
+
+Our drawing was made from a plant in the collection of Messrs. GRIMWOOD

+are annuals; till another perennial one therefore shall be discovered,
+the term _perennis_ will be strictly applicable to the present plant.
+
+Its root is not only of the kind just mentioned, but creeping also; Mr.
+_Miller_ informs us, that he traced some of them belonging to plants of
+a year old, to the depth of three feet, they also spread out far and
+wide; hence the roots even of young plants are with difficulty taken up
+entire, and as they do not succeed well by transplanting, if the root be
+cut or broken, our excellent author prefers raising this elegant plant
+from seed, which, though not very plentifully produced, ripen in July
+and August; care must be taken to gather them as soon as ripe.
+
+It is a native of Virginia, and appears to have been cultivated in the
+Botanic Garden at Oxford, as long since as 1658.
+
+Flowers from May to July.
+
+Is a hardy perennial, succeeding best in a dry situation, with a loam
+moderately stiff.

+
+
+Having cultivated the Geranium here figured for a series of years, we
+are perfectly satisfied of its being a species altogether distinct from
+any of the hardy and more ornamental plants of that genus usually
+cultivated in our gardens.
+
+It is obviously distinguished by two characters, the angular appearance
+of its stalk (whence our name of _angulatum_) and its flesh-coloured
+blossoms, marked with veins of a deeper red.
+
+In size it stands between _pratense_ and _aconitifolium_, in its
+blossoms it has some affinity to _striatum_ and _lancastriense_, but
+veins are not so strongly marked as in the former, and it differs from
+the latter in having an upright stalk.
+
+It usually flowers in May, and frequently again in autumn; is a hardy
+perennial, and easily increased either by seeds or parting its roots.
+
+Of what country it is a native, or when it was first introduced, we have
+yet to learn; we first observed it in a nursery near town, where it is
+regarded as a very different species.

+This is one of those plants which derives its beauty from the

+
+It is a native of the Alps of Europe, and flowers in May and June.
+
+Was very generally cultivated in our gardens in the times of GERARD and

+
+Like most alpine plants, it requires a pure air, and succeeds best in a

+
+In all seasons, with us, its foliage, as well as that of most other

+_pulcherrima_: such testimonies in its favour will, we presume, be
+sufficient to recommend it to our readers.
+
+It is a native of various mountainous parts of Europe, affecting moist,
+stony situations,[5] and flowers during most of the summer: is a hardy
+perennial[6], according to the celebrated author of the _Fl. Austriaca_;
+Mr. AITON, in his _Hort. Kew._ marks it as a biennial. It is
+nevertheless apt to be lost, like other small alpine plants, for want of
+proper treatment and care.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us on the authority of LOBEL, that it was cultivated
+here by Mr. HUGH MORGAN, in 1570.
+
+May be propagated by cuttings, as well as by seeds, which however are
+not very plentifully produced with us.
+
+Succeeds best when kept in a pot, or on rock-work, which it is well
+suited to decorate.

+Before the appearance of the _Hortus Kewensis_, _laevigatum_ was the term
+usually applied to this species of Geranium, by Botanists here, and that
+on account of the smooth and glossy appearance of its leaves; in that

+HERITIER had distinguished this species, from an idea that their shape
+afforded a more expressive character than their smoothness. We regret
+that the small size of our plate will not admit of our giving
+representation of those leaves, and of their mode of growth, which so
+strikingly characterizes the plant and adds so considerably to its
+beauty.
+
+Mr. AITON informs us that this species is a native of Madeira, from
+whence it was introduced here by Mr. FRANCIS MASSON in 1778.
+
+It flowers from May to September, is usually and readily raised from
+seeds, nor is it so tender as many other green-house plants.

+
+LINNAEUS, in his _Spec. Pl._ appears not to have known of what country
+the Sweet William was a native, and even in the _Hortus Kewensis_, this
+circumstance is left undecided; yet DODONAEUS, in his _Pemptades_[7],
+mentions its being found wild in Germany, and PROF. HOFFMAN confirms
+this in his _Germanys Flora_[8].
+
+At the time DODONAEUS wrote (1552) this plant was cultivated in the
+Netherlands, from whence it was probably introduced to this country,
+where it certainly is one of the oldest inhabitants of our gardens.
+
+Beautiful as are the numerous varieties of this species of Dianthus,
+Florists have not deemed it worthy of that peculiar attention which they
+have bestowed on its more favoured relatives the Pink and Carnation, and
+hence it probably has not arrived at that degree of improvement of which
+it is capable; our figure is intended to represent one of the most
+esteemed of its kind, viz. the _Painted Lady_ variety, which has a deep
+rich purple eye, surrounded with a pure white, having the edge of the
+petals slightly indented; but our colours fall far short of the beauties
+of the original.
+
+Besides single flowers producing an infinite variety of colours, there
+are several double varieties of the Sweet William, some of which are
+observed to have more scent than others.
+
+To possess these plants in perfection, we must renew them yearly; for
+though the root be perennial, it is apt to decay, especially if the soil
+in which it grows be either very moist, or very dry; or if the air be
+not pure, the single sorts must be raised from seeds, which should be
+saved from the choicest flowers; the double sorts may be increased by
+cuttings, pipings, or layers, in the same manner, and at the same time
+as Pinks and Carnations; the seed should be sown early in April, the
+seedlings transplanted into a bed in June, taking advantage of a wet day
+and placed about six inches asunder each way; in September they will be
+fit to transplant into the flower border, where they will blossom the
+ensuing summer, during the months of June and July, and ripen their seed
+in August.

+had cultivated the plant; as he says, "brought into the garden, it
+prospereth marvellous well and very easily soweth itself."
+
+It is the more valuable, as it flowers during most of the summer.
+
+There is a variety of it with white, and another with red flowers, both
+much inferior in size to those of the plant here figured, and therefore
+not worth cultivating; we have a variety also with variegated leaves
+which we obtained from seeds.
+
+This plant is readily propagated by parting its roots in autumn, and may
+also be raised from seeds, which are plentifully produced: as it rarely

+one of Bladder Hibiscus. Authors have also distinguished this plant by
+terms expressive of the short-lived expansion of its flowers, which
+GERARD says open at eight o'clock in the morning and close about nine,
+from whence he observes, that it might with propriety be called Malva
+horaria: MILLER lengthens the duration of its blowing to a few hours: we
+have frequently observed its blossoms continue sufficiently open to shew
+their beauty the greatest part of the day, more especially towards the
+close of summer.
+
+Few annuals are more admired than this, the inside of the flower is of
+delicate cream colour, having the centre embellished with a rich purple
+velvet, on which its golden antherae are proudly conspicuous.
+
+It is said to be a native of Italy; a Cape variety, differing in
+hairiness and a few other particulars is mentioned by MILLER, and
+considered by him as a species.
+
+The least possible trouble attends the raising of this beautiful annual,
+as it readily ripens its seeds, which falling on the ground produce
+plants in abundance the ensuing spring; to have it flower as long as may
+be, it will be proper to sow it at two or three different periods.

+
+We here present our readers with the figure of a plant newly introduced
+from France by Mr. WILLIAMS, Nurseryman of Paris, collected originally
+in Peru by Mr. DOMBEY, whose flowers, if they do not equal those of the
+Fuchsia already figured in elegance of form and growth, surpass them
+somewhat in brilliancy of colour, whence it becomes a most desirable
+plant for the purpose of ornament.
+
+Professor JACQUIN, who first gave a figure and description of this
+plant, informs us in his Collectanea, that he received seeds of it from
+Professor ORTEGA of Madrid, under the name of _Celsia linearis_, which
+name he has adopted; and we, from respect to such authority, have
+continued; at the same time we must observe, that it ill accords with
+that genus: the blossoms while in bud fold up somewhat in the same
+manner as those of the Celsia, but on expansion they appear widely
+different; their shape indeed then becomes truly singular, resembling a
+half-formed imperfect corolla, its filaments are short and want the
+hairs which in part characterise the Celsia; its seed-vessels also are
+far from being round: its antherae are large and close together, somewhat
+like those of the Solanum, and there is so little of inequality in them,
+that few students would be induced to refer its flowers to the class
+Didynamia.
+
+Being a native of a warm climate, it comes to the greatest perfection
+here when placed in a stove in which the heat is moderate; but it will
+succeed very well if treated as a tender green-house plant: it does not
+appear to be quite so hardy as the Fuchsia, nor to flower like that
+plant at all seasons, but usually produces its blossoms in the latter
+summer months, those are succeeded by seed-vessels producing perfect
+seeds, by which, as well as by cuttings, the plant is propagated.
+
+Its leaves, which are not deciduous, are linear, and more or less
+toothed, growing three together; this character however is somewhat
+obscured by others growing from their bosoms.

+
+Professor PALLAS, the celebrated Russian naturalist, discovered this
+species of Sedum in Siberia, and in the year 1780, introduced it to the
+royal garden at Kew; the younger LINNAEUS describes it minutely in his
+_Suppl. Plantarum_, and observes, that in its general form it much
+resembles the _Saxifraga rotundifolia_.
+
+Its leaves are flat as in many of the other species, and when the plant
+grows in an open situation, exposed to the sun, they become as well as
+the stalks of a bright red colour, which adds much to its beauty.
+
+It is the only hardy Sedum cultivated; in our gardens with a shrubby
+stalk, its leaves however are deciduous, so that in the winter it loses
+its verdure, it flowers in July and August, and is readily increased by
+cuttings.
+
+As most of this tribe grow readily, and many of them naturally on rocks
+and walls, they may be in general regarded as proper rock plants, some
+of them however are apt by the quickness of their growth to extend over
+and destroy plants of more value; this fault, if such it may be deemed,
+is not imputable to the _populifolius_.
+
+Some not knowing its native place of growth, keep it in the
+green-house.

+
+Of the genus Polygonum, the present well-known native of the East, as
+well as of India, is the principal one cultivated in our gardens for
+ornament, and is distinguished not less for its superior stature than
+the brilliancy of its flowers; it will frequently grow to the height of
+eight or ten feet, and become a formidable rival to the gigantic
+sun-flower.
+
+There is a dwarf variety of it, and another with white flowers; it has
+been observed to vary also in point of hairiness.
+
+It flowers from July to October, and produces abundance of seed, which,
+falling on the borders, generally comes up spontaneously in the spring;
+but it is most commonly sown in the spring with other annuals: when the
+seedlings appear, they should be thinned so as to stand a foot apart.
+This plant requires very little care, and will bear the smoke of London
+better than many others.
+
+Was cultivated by the Dutchess of BEAUFORT, in 1707. _Ait. Kew._

+The Stipulae on the stalk are deserving of notice, being unusual in their
+form, and making it look as if beruffled.

+
+About the year 1786, we received from Philadelphia, seeds of a plant
+collected at a considerable distance from that city, announced to us as
+new and rare, and which produced the present species of _Dracocephalum_:
+Mr. WATSON, Nurseryman at Islington, obtained the same plant from
+Carolina, about the same period.
+
+It is a hardy perennial, multiplying considerably by its roots, which
+creep somewhat; it must be planted in a moist soil, and shady situation,
+for such it affects, and in such only will it thrive.
+
+It flowers in August and September.
+
+It bears a considerable affinity to the _Dracocephalum virginianum_, to
+which, though a much rarer plant, it is inferior in point of beauty; it
+spreads more on the ground, its flowering stems are not altogether so
+upright, nor so tall, the leaves are broader, and the flowers in the
+spikes less numerous.

+
+In giving a representation of this species of Ranunculus, we have made a
+slight deviation from the strict letter of our plan, as expressed in the
+title page, which confines us to the figuring of foreign plants only; we
+have thought, however, that it would not be inconsistent with the spirit
+of the _Flower-Garden Displayed_, were we occasionally to introduce such
+English plants as have double flowers, and which, on that account, are
+thought worthy of a place in every garden; they are but few in number,
+and we flatter ourselves that this trifling alteration will be approved
+by our numerous readers.
+
+The _Ranunculus acris_ is the first that we offer of these; a plant, in
+its wild and single state, common in all our rich meadows, and in its
+improved, or to speak more botanically, in its monstrous state (all
+double flowers being monsters, for the most part formed from the
+preternatural multiplication of their petals) it has long been
+cultivated in gardens abroad, as well as here.
+
+There are certain ornamental plants of the perennial kind, which, if
+once introduced, will succeed with the least possible trouble, and
+therefore suit such as have little time to bestow on their
+flower-gardens; the present plant is one of those: if the soil in which
+we plant it be moist, it will grow most readily, and flower during the
+months of June and July; and it is easily increased, by parting its
+roots in autumn.

+
+
+Of the genus _Cypripedium_, Great-Britain produces only one, America
+several species; of these the _album_ here figured, (whose name is
+derived from the whiteness of its petals, and with which the nectary
+must not be confounded) is by far the most magnificent; indeed there are
+few flowers which to such singularity of structure add such elegance and
+beauty: it grows spontaneously in various parts of North-America, and
+chiefly in the woods; was introduced to the royal garden at Kew, by Mr.
+WILLIAM YOUNG about the year 1770, but was known to Mr. MILLER, and
+cultivated by him at Chelsea long before that period; this intelligent
+and truly practical author informs us, that all the sorts of Cypripedium
+are with difficulty preserved and propagated in gardens; he recommends
+them to be planted in a loamy soil, and in a situation where they may
+have the morning sun only; they must, he observes, for the above
+reasons, be procured from the places where they naturally grow; the
+roots should be seldom removed, for transplanting them prevents their
+flowering, which usually takes place in June.
+
+A greater proof of the difficulty of increasing these plants need not be
+adduced than their present scarcity, though vast numbers have been
+imported, how few can boast of possessing them, or of preserving them
+for any length of time; careful management in their cultivation will
+doubtless go far, but peculiarity of soil and situation would appear to
+be of greater importance: it is well known that certain plants thrive in
+certain districts only, the double yellow rose, for instance, barely
+exists near London, yet this plant I have seen growing most luxuriantly,
+and producing a profusion of bloom, in the late Mr. MASON'S garden,
+Cheshunt, Herts, and in which various Orchis's also acquired nearly
+twice their usual size,--enviable spot!

+
+
+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 https://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 https://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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.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 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:
+
+ https://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.
