 lied to Brosimum.) 



This is the fabled upas-tree of Java, which fur- 

 nishes the "Antjar poison." As if to prove the 

 Baying that reality is more strange than fiction 

 at least in botany the very nearest plant in af- 

 finity to this deadly-poisonous tree is the cow-tree 

 of South America, whose. milky juice is as whole- 

 some as that of an "Alderney," and the bread- 

 fruit-tree is also closely allied to the upas. A 

 itove tree cuttings of rather firm wood, in sandy 



soil, under a bell-glass, and in boUom-h^at, 

 Sandv peat and fibry loam. Summer temp., 60 J 

 to 85; winter, 55 to 60.

Grow freely from seed sown in spring ; the best 

 varieties by cuttings, inserted in sandysoil, under 

 a hand-light. Common soil, if not retentive of 

 moisture. All hardy herbaceous perennials, ex- 

 cept when otherwise specified. Excellent for 

 banks and under trees, but above either for the 

 tops of walls. The varieties are endless.
