SAUVAGE'SIA. (Named after F. B. de 

 Sauvages, a French botanist. Nat. ord. 

 Sauvageads [Sauvagesiaceee]. Linn., 5- 

 Pentandria I-Monogynia.} 



Pretty, tender, violet-looking annuals. Seeds 

 in spring, in a hotbed, pricked out, and potted, 

 and then flowered in the plant-stove or warm 

 greenhouse.

SAVANNAH FLOWEE. Echi'tes sulere'cta. 



SAVIN. Juni'perus sabi'na. 



SAVORY. Saturs'ia monta'na, Winter or 

 Perennial Savory. S. horle'nsis, Summer 

 or Annual Savory. 



They may be sown in the open ground 

 at the latter end of March or in April, 

 in a light, rich soil ; thin the seedlings 

 moderately, and they may either remain 

 where sown, or may be transplanted. Of 

 the Winter Savory, when the seedlings 

 are about two inches high, it is eligible 

 to plant out a quantity of the strongest 

 in moist weather, in nursery rows, six 

 inches asunder, to remain till September 

 or spring following, then to be trans- 

 planted with balls where they are finally 

 to remain, in rows a foot asunder. When 

 designed to have the Winter or Summer 

 Savory remain where sown, the seeds 

 may be in shallow drills, either in beds, 

 or along the edge of any bed or border 

 l>y way of an edging. 



By Slips. In the spring, or early 

 part of summer, the Winter Savory 

 may be increased by slips or cuttings of 

 the young shoots or branches, five or six 

 inches long ; plant them with a dibble, in 

 any shady border, in rows six inches 

 asunder, giving occasional waterings, and 

 they will be well rooted by September, 

 when they may be transplanted. 



SAVOY. Bra'ssica olera'cea sabau'da. 



Varieties. Yellow, for autumn; Dwarf 

 and Green, and two sub-varieties of these, 



the Eound and the Oval ; Large Green, 

 very hardy. These for winter-standing 

 crops. 



Sow at the close of February, the 

 plants of which are ready for pricking 

 out in April, and for final planting at the 

 end of May, for use in early autumn; 

 the sowing to be repeated about the 

 middle of March, the plants to be pricked 

 out in May, for planting in June, to sup- 

 ply the table in autumn and early winter. 

 The main crops must be sown in April 

 and early May, to prick out and plant, 

 after similar intervals, for production in 

 winter and spring. 



Planting. The plants of the first crops 

 should be set out two feet apart each way, 

 but the winter. standing crops are better 

 at two feet by eighteen inches. Water 

 abundantly, if the weather is dry, until 

 the plants are well established. 



To save Seed. Such plants must be 

 selected of the several varieties as are 

 most true to their particular character- 

 istics, and as are not the first to run. 

 These, in open weather, from early in 

 November to the close of February, plant 

 entirely up to the head, in rows two feet 

 and a half each way, each variety as far 

 from the other as possible. They ripen 

 their seed in July and August. 



SAW-FLY. See ATHALIA and HYLOTONIA. 



SAWS for garden -pruning must have a 

 double row of teeth, to obviate the ten- 

 dency to nip, or buckle, that the damp- 

 ness of green wood and the leverage of 

 the branch occasion. One with a very 

 narrow blade, and one with a handle six 

 'eet long, will be found convenient. The 

 ace of the wound made by a saw should 

 always be cut smooth with the knife, 

 otherwise the wet lodging on its rough 

 surface occasions decay. See BILL. 



SAWWOET. Serra'tula. 



SAXI'FEAGA. Saxifrage. (From sazum, 



stone, and frango, to break ; supposed 



)ower in that disease. Nat. ord., Saxi- 



<rages [Saxifragacese]. Linn., 10-Decan- 



dria 2-Digynia.) 



Seeds, and especially divisions in spring, unless 

 or annuals ; sandy loam ; the tenderest will re- 

 >ay for a little leaf-mould or peat; suited best for 

 he fronts of borders, the stumps of trees, and 

 or knolls and rock-works.
