Elegant Indian-cress. Pl. cl. + 
Cult. All the species of Jndian-cress are very shewy, there- 
fore they are desirable plants in every collection. The green- 
house and frame species will thrive in any light rich soil, and 
cuttings will root freely if planted in the same kind of soil, un- 
der a hand-glass. The annual kinds should be sown in the 
open ground in April. In fact, all the species may be either 
increased by seeds or cuttings, whether said to be annual or 
perennial, because those species said to be annual are permanent, 
when protected from the frost in winter. The species are all 
climbing when supported, but if not they are prostrate. All the 
tuberous rooted kinds will grow well in a light soil in the open 
air, in a sheltered situation, all the summer, and in winter the 
roots may be taken up and kept in dry sand, until the spring, 
when they may again be planted out into the open ground.
