SECT. XIX. LISTS OF TREES, &C. 367 



that will flourish in a wet soil ; but yet it does not 

 do much amiss in a dry one. In default of a moist 

 soil, any plant that requires one, should at least be 

 accommodated with a shady situation, and never 

 want water in summer. 



Milk vetch is somewhat tender, particularly the 

 seedlings, which should be protected by a garden 

 frame in winter. Fox tail sort, see biennials. 



Monkey flower is very ornamental, and of easy 

 culture, not difficult in situation. 



Montis hood is a poisonous plant in every part, 

 but very ornamental, and commonly cultivated. 

 Shade suits it, and it will even grow under trees, or 

 in any damp place, where few other things will. 



Morina is worthy of a conspicuous place in the 

 garden. It has a strong tap-root, and should be 

 transplanted whilst young, that it may not be da- 

 maged ; but sowing in the place where it is to grow 

 (as directed for the lupine) is the best way. 



Mulleins prefer a light soil, but like a north 

 border ; and the borage leaved being very low, is 

 proper for an edging in a cool shady situation. 



Orpine^ this, as all succulent plants, should have 

 a dry soil and situation, and not often watered. 



Passion jftozver should be planted against a warm 

 wall, where it may have room to spread, as it is a. very 

 free shooter. The sorts are numerous, (for green- 

 house and stove) but only this well suits open cul- 

 ture. In fine situations, and the southern parts of 

 England, there are two more, however, that may do 

 abroad. Prune it about Michaelmas, leaving the 

 shoots from two to four feet long, as the strength of 

 the plants, or room, dictates, and a foot asunder. 

 Before the frosts come, cover the roots, a yard 

 round, with dry litter ; and renew it with dry, when 

 afterwards it gets much and long wet. The branches 

 also should be covered with a mat (a thin one at first)
