GARDENING is the art of cultivating 

 and arranging plants, so as to obtain 

 from them the greatest amount of pro- 

 duce, and of beauty. 



GARDEN ROCAMBOLE. A' Ilium ophi- 

 osco'rodon. 



GARDEN SWIFT (Hcpia'lus hipuli'- 

 nits). The caterpillar of this moth 

 is more indiscriminate in its attacks 

 upon our plants than is any other 

 ravager of the garden. The roots of 

 auriculas, snowdrops, bear's-ear, par- 

 snips, lettuces, celery, potatoes, and 

 strawberries, have all been observed 

 destroyed by this larva. The moth, 

 usually, is chalky brown, head and 

 thorax woolly, and its upper wings dark 

 bright brown, with a broad Hue of white ; 



I but sometimes this is absent, and at. 



i other times the upper wings are chalky 

 white. These moths appear about tho 

 end of May, and are very abundant, in 

 the evening in meadows and other 

 grassy places. They deposit their 

 eggs apparently without discrimination, 

 which soon hatch, and the caterpillars 

 produced are cylindrical, and yellowish- 

 white, Avith black dots and hairs on the 

 upper part and sides of their segments. 

 The caterpillar changes to an ochreous 

 shining cylindrical pupa. Gard. Chron. 

 GARDO'QITIA. (Named after Oardo- 

 qiti, a Spaniard. Nat. ord., Labiates, or 

 Lipworls [Lamiaceffi]. Linn., 14-D/V?/- 

 nnm'ta 'l-Anyiospcrmia. Allied to Me- 

 lissa.) 



Of all the Lipworts, there is not a greenhouse 

 rival to G. Hookeri when well grown. Green- 

 house evergreens, except 6. betonicoides, which 

 is herbaceous. Cuttings of half-ripened shoots, 

 in June, in sand, under a hand-glass ; peat and 

 loam, with a fair portion of sand, and pieces of 

 broken bricks and charcoal. Winter temp., 

 40 to 48 ; a shady place in summer. They 

 should be tried against a wall, with a slight 

 protection in winter.

GARLAND FLOWER. Plcnra'ndra cne- 

 o'rttm. 



GARLICK. A' Ilium sali'vwn. Grown 

 best in a light rich soil. 



I'lantiny. It is generally propagated 

 by parting the root, but may be raised 

 from the bulbs produced on the stems. 

 Plant any time in February, March, 

 and early in April ; but the middle of 

 March is the usual time. A single 

 | clove to be placed in each hole, made 

 j six inches apart, and one deep, in 

 j straight lines, six inches distant from 

 each other, care being taken to set the 

 , roots downwards ; to do this it is the 

 ! best practice to thrust the finger and 

 thumb, holding a clove between them, 

 to the requisite deptli without any pre- 

 vious hole being made. Keep them fre- 

 quently hoed, and in June the leaves are 

 to be tied in knots to prevent the plants
