with an ample supply of fresh water. Linn. 10, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Fabacece. This is a very pretty 

 genus, and ft Henchmdnni is really beautiful ; 

 they grow from one to two feet high, and suc- 

 ceed best in an equal mixture of peat, loam, 

 and sand, and increase from cuttings, but the 

 best plants are obtained from seed, which ripen 

 in abundance. Synonymes : 1, IHUwynia gly-

 Garden varieties. — These are too numerous to 

 admit of even a selection, and many of them 

 are exceedingly beautiful. 

 Chryseis, Lindley. After Chryseis, a celebrated 

 Homeric beauty ; alluding to the colour of the 

 flowers. Linn. 13, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Papave- 

 racece. The species of this genus are very 

 handsome when in flower, and on that ac- 

 count well deserve a place in every flower-gar- 

 den. They succeed well in any rich soil, and 

 must be annually raised from seed sown on a 

 gentle hotbed early in spring, and afterwards 

 planted out in the open border, where they 

 will produce their flowers and seeds in autumn. 

 If there is any convenience for protecting the 

 young plants during winter, the seed should 

 be sown in autumn, as by that means the 

 plants will flower much earlier and produce 

 seeds with greater certainty. Synonymes : 1.
