 Soils and Situation that suit them best, or any other information 

 respecting them that may be considered of importance. 



The greater part of the Species may be cultivated with advan-

 succeed well against a wall, so as to be covered with a mat in 

 severe frost; and the remainder may be kept through the winter 

 in a common Garden-frame, or in the Green-house. Many 

 Species are well adapted for the ornamenting of Rock-work, 

 where their lively blossoms make a handsome appearance.
