They niriy be sown in the open 

 ground in spring. In the latter end 

 of March or in April, sow the seed in 

 a light rich soil, moderately thick, and 

 rake them in evenly; the seedlings 

 soon come up; give occasional weed- 

 ing, and thin them moderately, and they 

 may either remain where sown, or may 

 be transplanted. Observe, however, I 

 of the Winter Savory, that when the 

 seedlings are about two or three inches I 

 high, it is eligible to plant out a quan- 

 tity of the strongest, in moist weather, 

 in nursery rows six inches asunder, to 

 remain till September or spring follow- 



rough surface occasions decay. See 

 Bill. 



SAW-WORT. Serratula. 



SAXIFR.4.GA. Saxifrage. Ninety- 

 two species, and some varieties. Chief- 

 ly hardy herbaceous perennials ; a few

SC.y.VA. Hawk Fly. Of this genus 

 there are several species, of which the 

 most common are S. 7ibesii and S. py- 



ing, then to be transplanted with balls rastri. Wherever aphides are abun- 



where they are finally to remain, 

 rows a foot asunder. But the Annual 

 or Summer Savory may either remain 

 where sown, thinning the plants to six 

 or eight inches' distance, or when two 

 inches high may be pricked out in beds, 

 in rows the above distance ; in either 

 case the plants will become useful in 

 June or July, and until winter. Or 

 when designed to have the Winter or 

 Summer Savory remain where sown, 

 the seeds may be sown in shallow drills, 



dant, whether on the cabbage, hop, or 

 elsewhere, there is a fleshy green mag- 

 got. This is the larva of a hawk-fly, 

 and should be left undisturbed, as it is 

 a voracious destroyer of plant lice. —

SAW-DUST mixed with dung of any 

 sort speedily decays, and forms a very 

 valuable manure. In one instance, the 

 dung of four rabbits and their young 

 ones, saw-dust in their hutches l)eing 

 used instead of straw, was the only 

 manure used upon one-quarter of an , *"^ Pf J^" .
