some and very ornamental timber trees, par- 

 ticularly F. sylvdtica, which is one of the 

 handsomest and best adapted of trees for plant- 

 ing singly in parks or lawns. The beech tree 

 thrives best in a chalky clay or loamy soil, 

 preferring a sheltered situation. They may 

 all be increased by seed, budding, or grafting. 

 The timber is brittle, but much used by tur- 

 ners, joiners, and millwrights. Synonymcs : 1, 

 Bttula antcbrctica ; 2, F. sylvdtica asplenifblia, 

 s. inclsa, s. lacini&ta, s. salioifolia. See Cas- 

 t&nea.

This shrub is well deserving of culture on ac- 



count of its sweet-scented flowers, which are 

 about the size of those of the jasmine. It 

 succeeds well in a mixture of turfy loam, peat, 

 and sand, and may be increased by ripened 

 cuttings planted in sand, under a glass, in a 

 moist heat. The plants require plenty of pot 

 room, and a liberal supply of water. Syno-

 Brassicacece. The frame species of this inte- 

 resting genus thrive well in any light soil, and 

 cuttings strike readily in the same kind of soil, 

 under a glass. The perennial kinds are well 

 suited for rock-work, or for the front of flower- 

 borders ; they may be increased from cuttings 

 planted under a glass, or from seed. The an- 

 nual species merely require sowing where in- 

 tended to flower. Synonymes: 1, Alfissum
