ing in sandy soil in March ; also by cut- 

 tings, under a hand light; and the deodar a 

 by inarching and grafting on the corn- 

 con Cedar, and on the Larch, but it is 

 doubtful if the latter will answer as a 

 stock ; deep sandy soil.

 tings of the half-ripened shoots, in sand, 

 under a glass; peat and very sandy fibry 

 loam. The stove and greenhouse spe- 

 cies require the treatment common to 

 each department. The hardy species 

 may be propagated by layers in autumn, 

 and scandens by seeds ; bullatus seldom 

 ripens its seeds; deep loamy soil for 

 those hardy climbers.

CELERI'AC, or TURNIP-ROOTED CEL- 

 ERY (A'pium grave olens rapaceum}. Of 

 this variety of Celery there is said to 

 be a hardier kind cultivated by the Ger- 

 mans, called by them Knott-celery . 



Sowing. It may be sown in March, 

 April, and May, to afford suceessional 

 plantations in June, July, and August. 

 Sow in drills six inches apart, and keep 

 regularly watered every evening in dry 

 weather. The bed must be kept free 

 from weeds, and when about three inches 

 high, the plants may be pricked out into 

 another border in rows three inches apart 

 each way; giving water abundantly and 

 frequently: by adopting the precautions 

 mentioned in the cultivation of celery, 

 the same seed bed will afford two or three 

 distinct prickings. In the neighbourhood 

 of Dresden, where this vegetable is grown 

 in great perfection, they sow in Feb- 

 ruary or March, in a hotbed under glass, 

 and the plants are removed in April, 

 when two or three inches high, to another
