 rather of a cathartic quality.

Cult. The species are elegant when in blossom, and are of 

 the most easy culture. They will grow in any common garden 

 soil, and are easily increased by pieces of the roots, or by seeds. 

 The C. soldanella, a native of the sea-shore, thrives best if 

 watered with salted water now and then.

Cult. This is a beautiful plant when in blossom. The seeds 

 of it should be raised on a hot bed in spring ; and the plants, 

 when of sufficient size, should be planted into separate pots, and 

 trained to sticks, and then placed in a stove or greenhouse, 

 where they will blossom, and ripen their seed. A few plants 

 may be tried out in the open border, in a warm, sheltered 

 situation.
