ther, and defended in winter by a mat. The 

 fruit of many is very pleasant and refreshing to 

 most palates. The edulis fruits very freely in 

 a stove, but the flower has no great beauty ; it 

 fruited a number of years with us in a cool con- 

 servatory, but it died at last. We found it 

 hardier than the newest one, Billnttii. The 

 quadrungularis, to be fruited, must be grown 

 in a good light situation, in a warm stove, and 

 be artificially impregnated. See Granadilla.
