would be of service over them to their striking. See 

 pink at the end of this section. 



Rttdbeckia, or American sun-flow ei\ is a little 

 tender, and must be accommodated accordingly. 

 I/ike the rocket, it is rather (some sorts at least) un- 

 apt to form offsets ; and therefore to encourage the 

 putting them forth, (without which the plant dies) 

 the stems may be cut down to prevent flowering ; that 

 is, when plants are more desired than flowers. 



Rusk will be proper only for places that are con- 

 stantly wet, by standing water; and in such a situa- 

 tion they will prove ornamental. 



Sarrasena is a native of the bogs si North America. 

 It requires therefore a moist situation ; but is found 

 to need protection from our sharp frosts. The whole 

 plant is of curious formation. It is not apt to ripen 

 its seeds here, or to make offsets ; so that both are 

 frequently imported. 



Saxifrage plants are usually potted to move into 

 the house when in flower, as indeed the pyramidal in 

 particular should be ; but they are all very hardy, 

 except the strawberry sort, (not very handsome) 

 which is too tender to endure much wet and cold.

 the roots, may be well protected in winter : This 

 flower makes a very handsome show. 



'Solomons seal is in greater variety, and there is one 

 with double flowers. ; They all suit well in shady and 

 moist places. 



Slarworts are in -general of that hardy nature, that 

 they will flower almost any wlieve, and increase apace, 

 from the least slip. They are apt, however, to lose 

 their lower leaves, in proportion to the shade, cold, 

 and -wet, they grow in; and the Alpine sort will re-. 

 quire an opieh situation, though, Me the' others, 'a 

 stiff moist : soir suits it. There are other sorts. 'The "
