The Indian flowering Cane grows naturally in thé warmer 
parts of America, éc. From the appearance of the Seeds, 
Which are round, hard, black and fhining, it is called by 
the inhabitants of the Britifh iflands in the Indies, Indian 
fhot. Though it has been long -cultivated in this country, 
ts delicate conftitution is by no means inured to the feverity 
of winter, oreven a green=houfe fituation. Zoe 
Mr. P. Miller, in the Gard. Di&. writes to this intent--- 
` “ All the forts (of Canna) are propagated by Seeds, which 
fhould be fown on a hot-bed in fpring, and when the Plants 
` are fit to be removed, they fhould be tranfplanted into fepa- 
rate fmall pots and plunged into a moderate hot-bed of tan- 
ners bark, obferving to fhade them till they have taken root, 
after which a larger fhare of free air fhould be admitted to 
them every day in vami rane ee muft be SET
