flowered: the flowers erect, sessile. It is a nalive of Europe, 

 flowering in July. 



The thirteenth species has the habit of the preceding sort, but 

 is somewhat larger: the leaves are subcylindrical; not ovate, and 

 come out mostly by threes in a double row, and hence appear to be 

 imbricate in six rows; this is most obvious in the young shoots: 

 they are very spreading, loose at the base, and scarcely gibbous: 

 the cyme is leafy: the flowers of a golden-yellow colour. It is not 

 acrid. It is a nalive of many parts of Europe, flowering at the end 

 of June. 



The fourteenth has an annual, fibrous root: the stems in tufts, 

 decumbent at the base, smooth, red, leafy: the leaves mostly alter- 

 nate or nearly opposite, bluntish, somewhat glaucous, produced and 

 loose at the base: the cymes terminating, solitary, almost leafless, 

 racemed: the flowers erect, five-cleft. It is a native of Britain and 

 Norway. 



The fifteenth species is also an annual plant, with an erect stalk, 

 seldom rising above two or three inches high; the leaves are of a 

 grayish colour : the flowers are small and white, and grow at the top 

 of the stalk, in a reflexed spike. It is a nalive of the North of 

 Europe. 



Culture. These plants are all raised without much difficulty, by 

 proper care and attention to have the soil dry and of the poor sandy 

 kind. 



Culture in the Orpine sorts. These may all be readily increased 

 by planting cuttings, during the summer months, in light mould in a 

 shady situation, or in pots placed in similar situations. The plants 

 in the open ground, as well as those in pots, should be kept clean 

 from weeds, and be watered frequently when the weather is dry. 



They may likewise be raised by parting the roots, and planting 

 them in a similar manner in the spring or autumn. When the 

 plants are once well established, they spread rapidly, and require 

 little or no care. 



Culture in the Stonecrop kind. These are raised without much 

 trouble, by planting out their trailing stalks in the spring or summer
