 on long hairy racemes, Nat ord., Meni- 

 spermads [Menisperinaceae]. Linn., 22- 

 Dioecia, 13-polyandria), Stove twiners ; 

 the species from South Africa will do in a 

 warm, greenhouse ; cuttings of small side 

 shoots, rather firm, in sand, under a bell- 

 glass, and in bottom heat ; loam and

Ci'ssus. (From ktgsos, ivy; in refe- 

 rence to their scrambling habit Nat 

 ord,, Vimworts [Vitaceae]. Linn., 4- 

 Tetrcwdriii) l-monogynitt). A genus of 

 stove and greenhouse climbers, having no 

 pretensions to beauty. We introduce it 

 in order to remark, that, with the excep- 

 tion of the grape vine, the plants of this 

 order are singularly deficient in use or 

 beauty. The species require the same 

 treatment as Cissainjjel&s. 



CISTERNS for the accumulation of rain 

 water should be formed in connection 

 with the gutters of the various buildings 

 in the gardens, for no water is equal to 

 it for the artificial supply of moisture to 

 plants, 



CI'STUS. Hock Hose. (From Jciste, a 

 box ; in reference to the form of the seed 

 vessel. Nat ord., Rock Rose [Cistaceae], 

 Linn., \1-Icosandr ia^ \-monoyynia). C. 

 ladaniferm and C. ledon produce gum 

 ladamim. Seeds sown in April, if under 

 glass so much the better ; layers after the 

 plants have flowered ; and cuttings in 

 May under a hand-glass; dry soil; all 

 smaller kinds suitable for rockwork, and 

 although hardy in sheltered dry places it 

 is safest to propagate a few every season, 

 and give the protection of a cold pit in 

 winter.
