sun's rays, the air, and wet will be most 

 effectually excluded, the admittance of 

 any one of which is fatal to the union of 

 the hud with the stock. We feel it al- 

 most impossible to give instruction to 

 be understood, in words only, for such a 

 complex operation. We have, therefore, 

 given the preceding woodcuts, to show 

 all the several parts of this interesting 

 process.

Stove evergreen shrubs, except where otherwise 

 specified. B. globo'sa, the only hardy species, re- 

 quires a dry, sheltered situation in the noith of 

 the island. Seeds are sometimes procured in the 

 south of England, and should be sown in the 

 spring following. Plants are also easily procured 

 from well-ripened cuttings, placed under hand- 

 lights, in September, and slightly protected dur- 

 ing winter frosts. The greenhouse and stove 

 species may all be propagated freely from cut- 

 tings; and, for general management, the latter 

 merely require a higher temperature than the 

 former.

B. specta'bilisi* a scrambling plant, with beau- 

 tiful rose-coloured bractes, in cones, like those of 



the Hop. It flowers freely at Paris; but ns 

 English gardener has yet succeeded in flowering 

 it : we keep it too hot. Stove plants. Cuttings 

 in sand, and in bottom-heat ; sandy, fibry loam. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 75; winter, 50 to 60.

BUISSON is a fruit-tree on a very low 

 stem, and with a head closely pruned. 



BULB. A bulb is really an underground 

 bud. Its fibrous or real roots die an- 

 nually ; but the bulb remains stored with 

 elaborated sap, and retaining the vital 

 powers of the plant, ready for reproduc- 

 tion at the appropriate season. .Besides 

 root bulbs, (as are the onion, crocus, &c.,) 

 there are stem, or caulinary bulb^, equally 

 efficient for propagation. 



The stem-bulb consists of a number of 

 small scales closely compacted together 

 in an ovate or conical form, enclosing the 

 rudiments of a future plant, and originat- 

 ing, sometimes in the axil of the leaves, 

 as inDenta'ria lulbi'fera and several Lily- 

 worts, and sometimes at the base of the 

 umbel of flowers, as in A'llium carina'- 

 tum and others, in both which cases it is 

 nourished by the parent plant till it has 

 reached maturity, at which period the 

 bond of connexion is dissolved, and the 

 bulb falls to the ground, endowed with 

 the power of striking root in the soil by 

 sending out fibres from the base, and so 

 converting itself into a new individual. 



Every bulbous-rooted plant has its 

 management given in its proper place; 

 but there are & few rules of general ap- 

 plicability. They should be moved, where 

 necessary, whilst in a state of rest. This 

 occurs to the summer-flowering bulbs in 

 autumn, and to the autumn-flowering in 

 spring. Many require to be taken up an- 

 nually, or, at farthest, every second or 

 third year, to remove the accumulated 

 offsets. No bulb should be kept long out 

 of the ground ; and, even during the time 

 it is necessarily so kept, it should be pre- 

 vented from drying by burying it in sand.

This is now united to Anthericum. The name 

 Bulbine, also, is a misnomer; for many more 

 have the herbaceous habit of Anthericum than 

 that of true bulbs. Bulb species by offsets; 

 herbaceous plants, suckers, and divisions ; the
