The flowers of this plant, a native of Gibraltar, bear fome 
refemblance to thofe of the Common Candy-Tuft, but when 
they blow in perfe@tion, they are ufually twice as larges 
hence th Bass highly ornamental in the green-houfe, which 
carly in the Spring, the time of their coming forth, ftands 
in need of fome fuch fhewy flowers. 
This plant is eafily raifed from cuttings, and eafily pre- 
ferved; it may be kept through the Winter in a common 
hot-bed frame, and in mild Winters will ftand abroad, efpe- 
cially if fheltered amongft rock-work ; its greateft enemy 1 
moifture in the Winter ane this often proves fatal to it, as 
indeed a long continued damp atmofphere does to many 
others; the Nurferymen about London complain of lofing 
more plants the laft mild Winter, from this caufe, than they 
generally do from fevere frofts. In a little green-houfe which 
I had in my late garden, Lambeth-Marfh, moft of the plants 
became abfolutely mouldy; in fuch feafons then, though mo 
point of cold the plants may not require it, we mult difhpate 
the fuperfluous moifture bya gentle heat. a
