TEOP^'OLUM. Indian Cress. (From 

 tropaion, a trophy. Nat. ord., Indian 

 Cresses [Tropoeoliacese]. Linn., S-Oc- 

 tandria \-Monogynia.) 



Annuals by seeds, in the open ground, in 

 April ; tuberous, by division of the roots, and 

 by cuttings; the others by seeds, also by 

 cuttings, in sandy loam, any time during 

 spring, summer, and early autumn ; a rich 

 light soil suits them best. The best tuberous 

 kinds multiply their tubers, if the young shoots 

 are laid in the ground as they commence 

 growing. A tuber will generally form at the 

 bends ; none of them will stand frost, unless the 

 hardy tuberous ones, and they had better be 

 lifted and kept in dry sand until spring.

TEOWEL. This implement, made of 

 iron from twelve to six inches long in 

 the plate, and half as broad, hollowed 

 like a scoop, and fixed on a short 

 handle to hold with one hand, is con- 

 venient in removing small plants, with 

 a ball or lump of earth about their 

 roots, lifting bulbous flower-roots after 

 the flowering is past in summer ; 

 planting bulbs in patches or little 

 clumps about the borders, for digging 

 small patches also in the borders, 

 and sowing hardy annual flower seeds ; 

 likewise for filling mould into small 

 pots, stirring the surface of the earth 

 in pots, and fresh earthing them when 

 necessary. 



TEUFFLE. Tuber magnatum^ Pied- 

 montese Truffle; T. Borchii, Italy; 

 T. moschatum, Musk Truffle, near Bath ; 

 T. cibarium, Common Truffle, England. 

 But besides the tubers there are other 

 edible fungi known as truffles, viz., 

 Hydrololites tulasnci, Spye Park, Wilts ; 

 Melagonaster Broomeianus, Red Truffle, 

 near Bath. 



These edible fungi have not yet been 

 cultivated in England, though the 

 Prussians have succeeded in making 

 ;hem a garden tenant, and Comte de 

 3orch has been equally successful in 

 Italy. The latter cultivates the Pied- 

 mont Truffle, and his process is this : 

 rle either employs the soil where the 

 xuffle is found, or he prepares an arti- 

 ficial soil of seven parts good garden 

 earth ; two, well-pulverized clayey soil ; 

 and one, oak sawdust intimately
