all weeds, inhabiting various parts of Europe 

 and Asia. The Mignonette (Reseda odorata) is 

 a familiar example of their habits. 

 Reseda, Linn. From resedo, to calm or ap- 

 pease ; the Latins considered its application 

 useful in external bruises. Linn. 11, Or. 3, 

 Nat. Or. Resedacece. The Mignonette is an 

 old and universal favourite, on account of the 

 very pleasant odour emitted by the flowers. 

 In summer it merely requires the treatment of 

 other hardy annuals ; but to obtain flowering 

 plants through the winter and spring months, 

 two other sowings must be made ; to obtain 

 flowering plants from December to March, the 

 seeds should be sown about the middle of July 

 upon a light, rich, open border, and the plants 

 potted before the frost sets in, plunged in old 

 tan or ashes, and covered by a frame, which 

 should front the west. Those to flower from 

 March to June, should be sown in pots not 

 later than the third week in August, and 

 treated in a manner similar to the November 

 sowing. The third, or spring crop to succeed 

 the last, may be sown about the middle of 

 February ; these should be placed in a frame 

 in a gentle heat, and the plants thus obtained 

 will be in perfection by the end of May. The 

 suffmticose species may be increased by cut- 

 tings or seeds.
