serving its fluidity. And that by such 

 a treatment the honey-dew may be en- 

 tirely prevented, we have often wit- 

 nessed when experimentalizing with 

 totally different objects. Thus we have 

 seen plants of various kinds, which 

 have been treated with a weak solution 

 of common salt and water, totally es- 

 cape the honey-dew, where trees of the 

 same kind growing in the same plot of 

 gound not so treated, have been mate- 

 rially injured by its ravages.

Botanists place the garden bean among the 

 Vetches (Vicia), but for practical purposes, we 

 prefer keeping it distinct, under the old name, 

 which now gives the comprehensive designation 

 Fabacese to this large assemblage of plants.

 aspect of a Cape heath. Seeds in a hotbed, in 

 March ; cuttings of firm young shoots in sand,

Like Melaleucas, Beaufortias, Eucalyptus, 

 Metrosideros, and other Australian Myrtle- 

 blooms, they are peculiarly adapted for winter 

 gardens, either under glass, or for planting 

 against heated conservatory walls. Australian 

 evergreens. By seeds, in a hotbed ; but as 

 the plants thus raised are long in flowering, 

 more generally by cuttings of the young shoots, 

 getting firm in summer, under a bell-glass, and 

 in sand ; sandy loam and peat. Winter temp., 

 37 to 45.
