Georgia, I am led to believe it may be advantageously cul- 

 tivated in that and the more southern states, as it was found 

 uninjured by the severest frosts experienced there. It 

 forms a tree of very large size in India. Its leaves, as 

 well as the wood and roots, are strongly impregnated with 

 the fragrance of camphor. 



Ficus cordata, macrofihylla, australis^ elastica^stifiulata^ 

 iiumiia.) cafiensis, bengaLensis^ rttigiosa^ and other species, 

 are trees, shrubs, and creepers or climbers, of the easiest 

 culture and propagation in any light rich soil. 



Hamanthus cocczneMs,and various species, are Cape bulbs, 

 which grow in sandy loam with a little peat ; they require 

 no water when not in a growing state, and are increased by 

 offsets. 



Bruns-vigia josefihina, and different species, are a beauti- 

 ful family of buibs, some of which grow to a great size, and 

 require large pots to have them flower in perfection. They 

 grow in sandy loam with a little peat, and require ample sup- 

 lies of water when in a growing state, but very little when 

 dormant. They are increased by offsetts or seeds. 



Agafianthus umbellatus, firecox, &*c., handsome plants, 

 vhich thrive in loam with a little rotten dung, and are in- 

 creased by dividing at the root. There is a variety with 

 flowers nearly white, and one with beautifully variegated 

 leaves. 



Velthemia viridifolia, and glauca, Cape bulbs,which grow 

 in light loamy soil, arid are increased by offsets or leaves. 



Encomia regiu^ tindulata^ fiunctata^ and striata, Cape 

 bulbs, which grow in any light rich soil, and are increased 

 by offsetts, seeds, or leaves. 



Soiverb&ajuncea, a New-Holland perennial, which grows 

 in peat soil kept moist, and is increased by dividing at the 

 root. 



Dianelta ccerulea, and divaricata, plants of New South- 

 Wales, which growjn loam and peat, dhd are increased by 

 dividing at the root. 



Mtrffimeria pdegrina^ and ligtu^ fine plants, which grow 

 in loam and leaf mould, and are increased by dividing at the 

 root or by seeds, which, as they speedily lose their vegetative 

 power, should be sown as soon as ripe* 



CaUa (Zt/iiofiica may be treated as an aquatic, and grown 

 in deep water in pots of rich loam, or it will grow in loam 

 and peat on the common stage of the Green-house. It is in- 

 creased by offsets.
