Hope; after the bulbs have flowered, and the leaves decay, they 

 should not be watered until potted the following season, and should 

 be kept in a dry place. 



Glycine. — (Leguminosffi,) is a very valuable climber; it bears pea- 

 shaped flowers, is a native of China, and was introduced into Eng- 

 land in 1816, where it has been acclimated, so that it bears our cli- 

 mate pretty well; and is readily propagated from layers and cuttings; 

 the seeds seldom ripen in this region. 



Clycyrrhiza. — (Leguminosae,) the liquorice plant, is a perennial, 

 bearing small blue flowers, and is a native of the South of Europe. 

 The liquorice is made by boiling the root; it requires a very rich 

 soil, but it is not worth growing except as a curiosity.
