series, Campanula Lorei, has, how- 
ever, been always considered to 
belong to Campanu'a. All the spe- 
cies grow frcely in any common 
soil, and are increased by dividing 
the roots, or by seeds. ‘The roots of 
all the species are eatable. 
Campion.—This name is given 
to several flowers, with different 
prefixes, such as the Rose Cam- 
pion (See Ly’cunis or AGRosTE’M- 
ma), and the Berry-bearing Cam- 
pion.—See Sine‘ne. 
CANDLEBERRY Myrtie. — See 
Myrt'ca. ~ 
Canpyturt.—See Ipe'‘ris. 
Ca'nna, L.—Cunnee, or Scita- 
minee.—Splendid reed-like plants, 
rom the East and West Indics, 
and South America, of which two 
species, C. patens and C. speciosa, 
are sufficiently hardy to stand the 
winter at the base of a South wall, 
where they will flower freely dur- 
ing summer. The commen Indian 
Shot, C. indica, and almost all of 
the other kinds, require a stove. 
They are all grown in rich light 
soil, and are readily increased by 
dividing the roots, cr by seeds. 
The seeds of the hardy kinds gene- 
rally require to be steeped in water 
before they are sown. They should 
then be raised on a hotbed, and 
shifted two or three times before 
they are planted out. 
CanTERBURY BrLis.—See Cam- 
PA'NULA. 
Ca'ntua, W.—See .Gr'x1a and 
Tpomo’psts. 
Care Butes are remarkable for 
the beauty of their flowers; and as 
they occupy but little space, a con- 
siderable collection of them may be 
grown in a very small garden, in 
a great measure without the aid of 
glass. ‘The situation should be ex- 
posed to the south, and protected 
from the north; and thie soil should 
consist of sand and peat, or sand 
and leaf-mould, to the depth of two 
feet, thoroushlv drained.

CAPE SHRUBS. 
a bed, all the Cape Iridacee may 
be planted, placing the bulbs not 
less than six inches below the sur- 
face of the ground, and protecting 
the plants when they come up 
with a mat; and after they die 
down, covering the bed with rotten 
tan, rotten leaves, or litter. No 
other plants ought to be planted on 
the bed during the summer, nor 
any water given to it during win- 
ter, lest the bulbs should be rotted. 
If there is a sufficient length of 
wall, with no trees planted against 
it; as, for example, the front wall 
of a pit or hothouse; the best 
mode is to make the bed not more 
than two or three feet in width; by 
which means it may be easily and 
effectually protected by shutters, 
made to rest on the ground on one 
edge, and to lean against the wall 
on the other. When there is no 
such wall, a very good mode of af- 
fording protection during winter, is 
to surround the bed with a wooden 
frame, or a brick or stone wall; 
and either to cover it with glazed 
sashes, or oiled canvass, in frames, 
or with boards, or mats; taking 
care always to uncover the bed in 
fine weather. 
Care JasMINE.—See GarpeE'NIA. 
Care Puitiy’reEa—Cassine ca- 
pénsis, .—A low, half-hardy shrub, 
allied to the Holly. 
Care Survuss in their native 
country grow chiefly in very sandy 
soil, mixed with vegetable mould, 
formed by the decay of the same 
shrubs which it nourishes. The 
best imitation of such a soil in Bri- 
tish gardens is sandy loam, which 
ought to be well drained, by putting 
crocks or potsherds in the bottom 
of the pots, to the depth of an inch 
or two; and afterwards covering 
them with turfy peat, to prevent the 
soil from being washed through the 
crocks. In the management of 
Cape Shrubs, the great art is to 
Tn sanch | keep them always in the same state
