SEMPERvivpM, Linn. From semper vivo, to 

 live for ever ; the tenacity of life of the House- 

 leek is well known. Linn. 11, Or. 7, Nat. 

 Or. Crassulacece. These interesting plants are 

 worthy of a place iu every collection. The 

 greenhouse species succeed best in a mixture 

 of sandy loam and brick rubbish ; and when 

 not in flower, they must be very sparingly 

 watered. Cuttings taken off,, and laid to dry 

 for two or three days, will root very freely. 

 The readiest way of obtaining cuttings from 

 S. tabulceforme and some others, is to cut the 

 top out, when lateral shoots will be immedi- 

 ately produced. The hardy kinds succeed best 

 on walls or rock-work, and are easily increased 

 by offsets. The juice of the common house- 

 leek, <S. tectbrum, applied either by itself or 

 mixed with cream, gives immediate relief in 

 burns, and other external inflammations.
