SHY BUG. 



A member of the Hemiptera (Anthocoris Ne- 

 morum), which is both a friend and an enemy to 

 the gardener. It sucks the juices from the leaves 

 and stems of Hops, but in return it destroys vast 

 numbers of Aphides. The insects are very small, 

 dark red, with yellow wing cases margined red. 

 The larvaa are rather lighter in colour. There are 

 two or three broods during the year. The insects 

 secrete themselves if man approaches. 



SIBTHORPIA (syn. DISANDRA). 



Greenhouse and hardy trailing herbs (ord. 

 Scrophularinese). Europsea, the Cornish Money- 

 wort, Pennyleaf, or Pennywort, and its golden 

 variety only are cultivated. These pretty little 

 trailers do best in a greenhouse during the 

 winter months, and at all times of the year they 

 thrive amazingly in an ordinary dwelling room 

 window. They make good basket plants, more 

 especially the two varieties, and take kindly to 

 pots or to wooden or wire baskets, needing very 

 little attention. Pots of Sibthorpias are excellent 

 for putting a finish to the stages in cool Orchid 

 houses during the summer, but they must be lifted 

 from the stage and suspended from the roof 

 through the winter, or a great part of the growth 

 will damp off. Propagation, in sandy soil in a cold 

 frame, by cuttings, which will root at almost any 

 time of the year, save the depth of winter ; also 

 by root division. Soil, equal parts of loam and 

 leaf soil, with sand. Give plenty of water all 

 through the summer.

SIDA. (INDIAN MALLOW.) 



Stove, greenhouse, or hardy shrubs, sub-shrubs, 

 or herbs (ord. Malvaceas), of which but few are in 

 general cultivation. These are generally effective 

 plants, with flowers of good colours. Propagation, 

 by seeds sown in heat, or by cuttings in sand in a 

 greenhouse or stove, under a bell-glass. Any good 

 soil. (iSrv! fi/nn ABUTILOX.)

SIDALCEA. 



Hardy perennial herbs (ord. Malvacese), much 

 resembling some of the Malvas, and of consider- 

 able beauty for the herbaceous border. They 

 bloom well in either sun or partial shade. Propa- 

 gation, by seeds or division, both in spring. 

 Common garden soil.

Hardy and half-hardy herbs and shrubs (ord. 

 Labiata;). None of the species is of any decora- 

 tive value, and they only find a place in botanic 

 gaidens. 



SIDEROXYLON (syn. ROBKRTSIA). 



A genus of upwards of ninety species of stove or 

 greenhouse trees or shrubs (ord. Sapotacese). The 

 wol of many is of great hardness. The berries of 

 dulcificum are sweet, and known in tropical Africa 

 under the name of the Miraculous Berry. Inenne, 

 a South African species, is known as the Milk 

 Wood. These and two others Mastichodendron 

 and tomentosum are grown at Kew. The genus 

 is practically of no value for the garden. 



SIEGESBECKIA. 



Half-hardy herbs (ord. Composite), usually 

 annual in this country. Propagation, by seeds, in 

 heat, under glass, in spring (nee HALF-HARDY 

 ANNUALS). Soil, light and rich.
