Hespeeis, Linn. From hesperos, the evening ; 

 the flowers of most of the species of Eocket 

 are more fragrant towards evening. Linn. 15, 

 Nat. Or. BrassicAcece. The Eocket is a well- 

 known flower in every garden. The herba- 

 ceous kinds do best in a light rich soil, and 

 attention must be paid to frequent transplant- 

 ing and dividing, or they will not grow, parti- 

 cularly B. matronalis and its varieties ; the 

 best time for doing it is when they begin to 

 spring afresh from the root after flowering. 

 The seed of the annual and biennial kinds 

 merely require sowing in the open border. Sy- 

 nonymes: 1, H. sibirica ; 2, B. inodbra; 3, 



B. bituminbsa ; 4, Cheiranthus bicuspidatus.
