RUE, or HERB GRACE. (Ru'ia grave' olens.) Thrives 

 best in a poor, clayey loam, mixed with calcareous 

 rubbish, in an open situation. It is propagated by slips 

 and cuttings as well as from seeds, the first two modes 

 being usually practised as being the most easy. It may 

 be planted or sown at any time during the spring. The 

 seed in drills 6 inches apart, and J inch deep. The 

 rooted slips, or cuttings, may be planted on a poor, 

 shady border, and watered occasionally until taken root. 

 In the autumn the plants may be removed. During 

 their after-growth they must be kept pruned in a shrubby 

 form, and never be allowed to produce seed.
