freely and as often as possible. If seed i 

 is sown within a frame without any j 

 bottom-heat, the plants will be two or 

 three weeks forwarder than if sown in 

 the open ground. 



KA'FNIA. (Named after C. Rafn, a 

 Danish botanist. Nat. ord., Leguminous 

 Plants [Fabacese]. Linn., l(i-Monadel~ 

 phia 6-Decandria. Allied to Hovea.) 



Greenhouse yellow-flowered evergreens from 

 the Cape of Good Hope, except where otherwise 

 mentioned. Seeds in a hotbed in spring ; cut- 

 tings of firm side-shoots, at the beginning of 

 summer, in sand, under a bell-glass ; sandy peat 

 and fibry loam, kept rough by pieces of char- 

 coal and broken pots, and drainage well attended 

 to. Winter temp., 40 to 48.

BAILING is of various forms, but all, 

 if made of wood, are soon decayed if 

 slight, and are clumsy and inelegant if 

 strong. Iron railing is at once light, 

 neat, and enduring, and like the fol- 

 lowing, may be erected for about 2s. 

 peryard. 



BAKE. This implement is now much 

 less in use than formerly, when broad- 

 cast sowing was prevalent. Now the 

 broad hoe is quite as efficient in cover- 

 ing drill-sown seed. The head of the 

 rake is best made of wood, and of this 

 ash is most desirable. If the head be 

 of iron, the teeth are continually be- 

 coming loose. Bakes, with heads about 

 six inches long, are required for dress- 

 ing flower-borders, but for open ground- 

 work the length may be fifteen inches. 

 The hoe and the rake are sometimes 

 attached to one handle, but it is a 

 form liable to constant entanglement 

 in the flower-garden, for which it is 

 designed. 



BAMO'NDIA. (Named after L. Ra- 

 mond, a French botanist. Nat. ord., 

 Gesnenvorts [Gresneraceee], Linn., 5- 

 Pentandria 1-Monoyynia. Allied to 

 Streptocarpus.) 



Hardy herbaceous perennial. Seeds and di- 

 visions in spring ; sandy loam and a little peat ; 

 a sheltered place, or kept in a pit, in winter, as 

 an Alpine.

The soil ought to be moderately 

 moist, but it must be light. A shady 

 rich border is most favourable. 



Sow during March, April, and May, 

 in drills six inches apart; the plants 

 from sowings in the two first months 

 soon run up to seed. The plants are 

 to remain where sown ; though, in 

 case of any deficiency, those which are 

 taken away in thinning the crops may 

 be transplanted successfully, if removed 

 to a border similar to the seed-bed, and 

 inserted with the roots perpendicular, 

 and without pressing the mould too 

 close about them. The best time for 

 the removal is of an evening. 



They are fit for thinning when about 

 two inches in height, and they must be 

 set at a distance of six inches apart.
