remedy for bulbs actually diseased, but 

 they ought to be carefully picked out, 

 and not mixed with the general stock 

 for fear of infection. It seems to be 

 caused by an internal fungus. 



CROPPING ( MIXED) is growing two 

 or more crops together, one of which 

 may be either drawn young, so as to 

 be out of the other's way before it gets 

 high enough to be injured ; or one of 

 which benefits the other by shading it. 

 The object of mixed cropping is to 

 obtain the largest amount of produce in 

 the shortest time from a given space. 

 The subject cannot be treated in detail 

 within these limited pages ; and we 

 must, therefore, refer our readers to an 

 essay on the subject in The Cot lay e 

 Gardener, v. xJ74. See Rotation of Crops. 



CROSSA'NDRA. ('From krossos, a fringe, 

 and aner, an anther ; fringed anthers 

 or pollen bags. Nat. ord., Acantliads 

 [Acanthacese]. Linn., 14^-Teiradynamia 

 2-Angiospermia. Allied to Justicia.)

 scarlet. March. East Indies. 1800. 



CROTALA'RIA. (From krotalon, a cas-

 in the pod if shaken. Nat. ord., Legu- 

 minous Plants [Fabacere]. Linn., 1(5- 

 Monadelph'ta Q-J)ecandri<i. Allied to the 

 Lupines.) 



Notwithstanding the great number of Cro- 

 talarias, with their gay coloured pea-flowers, 

 they are not much prized by gardeners, owing 

 to the difficulty of preserving them from the 

 attacks of the red spider. Seed ; perennial 

 kinds easily from cuttings, in sand, under glass; 

 loam and peat.
