the other side of the incision, and the 

 bud will drop into its place : press the 

 bark of the bud to the farther end of the 

 incision, and, if any projects beyond the 

 cross incision on the stock, cut it off. 

 Then tie with worsted neatly, and the 

 operation is complete. A laurel leaf 

 fastened at each end by a ligature round 

 the stock, so as to arch over the bud, 

 will complete the arrangement, and thus 

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

 most effectually excluded, the admittance 

 of any one of which are fatal to the 

 union of the bud with the stock. "We 

 feel it almost impossible to give instruc- 

 tion, to bo understood, in words only, for 

 such a complex operation. "We have, 

 therefore, given the preceding woodcuts, 

 to show all the several parts of this inte- 

 resting process. 



BU'DDLEA. (Named after A. Buddie, 

 an English botanist. Nat. ord., Fig worts 

 [Scrophulariaceee]. Linn., 4- Tetrandria, 

 \-monogynia). Stove evergreen shrubs, 

 except where otherwise specified. B. 

 fflobosa, the only hardy species, requires 

 a dry sheltered situation in the north of 

 the island, seeds|are '. sometimes pro- 

 cured 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 

 during winter frosts. The greenhouse 

 and stove species may all be propagated 

 freely from cuttings, and for general 

 management the latter merely require a 

 higher temperature than the former.

BUGAINVILL^E'A. (Named after the 

 French navigator Bougainville. Nat. ord., 

 Nyctagos [Nyctaginaceae]. Linn., 8-Oc- 

 tandria, \-monogynid]. B. spectabilis is a 

 scrambling plant, with beautiful rose- 

 coloured bracts, in cones like those of 

 the Hop. It flowers freely at Paris, but 

 no 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.

Buissox, is a fruit tree on a very low

BULB. A bulb is really an underground 

 bud ; its fibrous or real roots die anmially, 

 but the bulb remains stored with ela- 

 borated 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, e., 

 there are stem or caulinary bulbs, 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 ori- 

 ginating sometimes in the axil of the 

 leaves, as in Denta'ria bulbi'fcra and seve- 

 ral lilyworts, and sometimes at the base 

 of the umbel of flowers, as in A' Ilium 

 carindtiim and others, in both which 

 cases it is nourished by the parent plant 

 till it has reached maturity, at which 

 period the bond of connection is dis- 

 solved, 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 

 ndividual.
