CHIRONIA. 89 



or Fruit-bearing. The first of these is both in flower and 

 in fruit during nearly the whole .of the summer. 



These plants must be housed in the winter, but; so 

 placed as to receive as much sun as possible ; and fresh 

 air in mild weather. They must be observed daily, that 

 they may not be left with the earth dry, but must have 

 only water sufficient to prevent this, particularly in the 

 winter ; and must be preserved from damps. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM. 



CORYMBIFEIUS. SYNGENESIA POLYGAMIA SUPERFLUA.' 



This name is derived from the Greek, and signifies gold-flower. 



THIS article will be found to contain some of the Mary- 

 golds, of which the different kinds are so dispersed, and 

 so intimately connected with many different genera, that 

 it would rather increase than lessen the confusion to place 

 them all under one head. The Index will refer to such 

 articles as relate to them. 



One of the handsomest of the Chrysanthemums is the 

 Indian ; the flowers of which are three inches or more in 

 diameter : it varies in colour; there are white, purple, red, 

 orange, yellow, &c. This kind requires shelter in the 

 winter ; as also does the Canary Ox-eye, a native of the 

 Canary Islands, very much resembling the common cha- 

 momile flower. In winter, these two kinds should be very 

 gently watered, about three or four times in a week : in 

 the summer, they will require it more plentifully, and every 

 evening when the weather is dry. 



The Siberian Chrysanthemum is very hardy, and will 

 live in the open air all the year : it does not often perfect 

 seeds in England, but may easily be increased by slips, 

 which may be planted two or three in a pot, in September
