branches should be removed, and shoots 

 stopped, to concentrate the sap, and ex- 

 pose those retained to the full influence 

 of the sun.

 1- Monogynia.) 



Greenhouse, white-flowered, evergreen climbers,

 [Convolvulaceae]. Linn., 5-Pentandria 

 i-Monogynia. Allied to Ipomsea.) 



Stove evergreen twiner. Cuttings of side-shoots, 

 and of the young shoots, several inches in length, 

 as they rise from the roots in spring; or grafting 

 on a free-growing Ipomaea; fibry loam and rough, 

 sandy peat. Winter temp., 55 to 60; summer, 

 60 to 85.

EIVI'NA. (Named after A. Q.Rivinus, 

 a German botanist. Nat. ord., Phytolac- 

 cads [Phytolaccaceffi]. Linn., 4^-Tetran- 

 dria 1-Afonogynia.) 



Called rouge plants in the West Indies, where 

 the fruit is used as a cosmetic. Stove evergreens. 

 Seeds and cuttings. The flowers are of little 

 beauty ; but the racemes of ripe and ripening 

 fruit are very interesting; light soil. Winter 

 temp., 50 to 60; summer, 60 to 80.

EOBI'NIA. (Named after J. Robin, a 

 French botanist. Nat. ord., Leguminous 

 Plants [Fabacese], Linn., 17 '-Diadelphia 

 -Decandria. Cobbett's Locust-tree is 

 JBobi'nia pseu'do-aca'cia.) 



Deciduous, white-flowered trees, from North 

 America, where not otherwise stated. For tender 

 kinds, cuttings of young wood in sand, under a 



glass. The Locust-tree, in all its varieties, by 

 seed sown in autumn, or preserved in the pods, 

 and sown in the spring ; by cuttings of the shoots ; 

 by cuttings of the roots ; by suckers and layers. 

 The finer varieties are generally grafted. The hi's~ 

 pida ro'sea, or Rose Acacia, is a fine object grafted 

 on the pseu'do-aca'cia standard high, in a shel- 

 tered place not much north of London. The finer 

 varieties of hi'spida ro'sea, in cold situations, de- 

 serve a place on a conservative wall, and would be 

 a nice companion to the Gly'cine Sine'nsis, &c.

 EOCAMBOLE (A.' Ilium scorodo'prasum) , 



sometimes called Spanish Garlic, has its 

 bulbs or cloves growing in a cluster. The 

 stem bears many bulbs at its summit, 

 which, as well as those of the root, are 

 much milder than Garlic. 



It is best propagated by the root 

 bulbs, those of the stem being slower in 

 production. Plant either in February, 

 March, or early in April, as well as 

 throughout the autumn, in drills, or by 

 the dibble, in rows six inches apart each 

 way, and usually two inches within the 

 ground, though the plants would thrive 

 better if grown on the surface, as recom- 

 mended for the Eschallot. In other, 

 respects they are cultivated as directed 

 for Garlic. A very small bed is sufficient 

 for the supply of the largest family.

 botanical author. Nat. ord., Houselceks
