JET D’EAU. 
JUNIPERUS. 
ras 
jects in small gardens by their pen- 
dent branches, which not only hang 
down from a height of from fifteen 
feet or twenty feet to the ground, 
but trail along it to a considerable 
distance. Like the Ivy, the com- 
mon Jasmine is an evergreen: not, 
however, from its leaves, but the 
deep green colour of its shoots. 
The flowers are white, and very 
fragrant, and yield an oil similar to 
that produced by J. grandiflérum. 
J. revolitum is a native of Nepaul, 
with yellow blossoms, and thrives 
against a wall, where it grows with 
great vigour, covering a large space 
in ashorttime. J. friticans and J. 
hitimile are upright border shrubs, 
with yellow flowers, deciduous 
leaves, but deep green shoots. J. 
grandiflorum is a hothouse shrub 
that bears a good deal of resem- 
blance to the common Jasmine, and 
yields the Oil of Jasmine of the shops. 
J. odoratissimum, from the Azores, 
has yellow and very fragrant flow- 
ers and broad evergreen leaves. J. 
azoricum, a native of Madeira, re- 
quires the greenhouse, has white 
flowers, and is very fragrant; and 
J. Sambac, a stove species, of which 
there is a variety with double flow- 
ers, is most fragrant during the 
night. It is to this species that 
Moore alludes in his beautiful lines 
on the Jasmime. ‘There are several 
other species, but all are climbers 
excepting J. friiticans and J. hi- 
mile, already mentioned. They will 
all thrive in any common garden- 
soil, mixed with leaf-mould; and 
they may be all propagated by cut- 
tings planted in sand, and covered 
with a hand-glass. 
Jerrerso'nia. — Podophyllacee. 
—An American marsh plant, which 
is generally grown in peat-soil, kept 
moist. It is increased by seeds, or 
dividing the root. 
JERUSALEM Sace.—See Puto‘mis. 
Jer p’Eav.—A fountain, which 
consists of a single column of wa- 
ter, rising straight up out of the 
ground. See Founrains. 
Jonquit.—A kind of Narcissus. 
Jupas Tree—Ceércis Siliquas- , 
trum.—A low tree, producing nu- © 
merous racemes of beautiful pink 
flowers, from the old wood of the 
trunk and branches. It grows free- 
ly in any common garden soil, but 
prefers a warm and sheltered situa- 
tion; and it flowers best against a 
wall. The flowers have an agree- 
able and slightly acid taste; and 
they are eaten in France, fried in 
batter, as fritters. ‘There are seve- 
ral varieties, but the only distinet 
species is C. canadénsis, a nati , 
of North America. As these pla , 
bear abundance of seed, and grow — 
rapidly, they are often raised from 
seed; and hence the great number 
of varieties. They may also be 
propagated by layers. 
Jususe Tree. — The lozenges 
called Jujube are made from the 
fruit of Zizyphus vulgaris, which 
ripens abundantly in the neighbour- 
hood of Paris; but the real Jujube- 
tree is Z. Jujuba, a native of the 
East Indies, which requires a stove 
in Europe. Both are neazly allied 
to Palitirus, or Christ’s Thorn. 
Juizrissin.—This beautiful tree, 
which is a kind of Acacia, is called 
the Silk Tree, from the abundance 
and silkiness of its long, fine, tassel- 
like blossoms. It is rather tender 
in England, but it grows freely in 
Italy. See Aca‘cta. 
Juniper —See Juni’PERvs, 
Juni'perus.—Conifere § Cupres- 
sinee.—The Juniper. Evergreen 
shrubs, natives of different parts of 
the world, but most of y wh ar 
hardy in British gardens. 1] 
thrive in common soil, mixe 
sand, or in heath-mould ; a 
are generally propagated by seeds, 
though they will all root from eut- 
tings. J. commiinis, a native of 
Britain, of which there are several 
varieties, is a very common hardy
