primarily a sense of justice, which teaches a regard 

 to the rights of others, among which rights are their 

 opinions. 



The Ramonda Pyrenaica is a desirable little plant 

 to cultivate, either in pots or in the borders ; and 

 should occupy a place amongst the various low close- 

 growing alpine subjects. It may be increased by 

 dividing the roots, or by seeds ; and succeeds best 

 in a cool situation. 



It is also a suitable subject for pot culture, and 

 we cannot give our readers more judicious advice, 

 respecting its management, than is contained in the 

 remarks of a correspondent, who says, that the va- 

 rious trials that I have made with the Ramonda Py- 

 renaica, have satisfied me that bog-earth is better 

 adapted to its habits of growth than a more substan- 

 tial and retentive soil. Indeed, I have long made it 

 a rule to provide plants with food, rather with rrf- 

 rence to the fibres of their roots, than to their ap- 

 parent wants of strong or mild nourishment. All 

 plants which have wiry roots, I invariably find, 

 delight in a peat mould, with a good proportion of 

 the decayed roots of the peat, and a little white sand 

 mixed up with it ; and if planted in pots, well 

 drained, first with very small broken tiles, and next 

 with nothing but decayed roots of peat earth, they 

 invariably thrive. This plan enables the broken 

 tiles to answer their intended end much longer than 

 they could possibly do, were they placed immedi- 

 ately in contact with the finely sifted mould ; and 

 upon examining the roots of a plant so treated, you 

 will find the fibres spread over, and freely inter, 

 mixed with, the drainers.
