 Silene, Linn. From siaXon, saliva ; in allusion 

 to the viscid moisture on the stalks of many of 

 the species, by which the smaller kinds of flies 

 are entrapped ; hence, also, the English name 

 of the genus, Catchfly. Linn. 10, Or. 3, Nat. 

 Or. Caryophyllacece. Elegant flowering plants, 

 succeeding best in a light, rich soil. The 

 shrubby kinds are readily increased by young 

 cuttings, planted in sand or soil, under a glass. 

 The hardy herbaceous kinds may be planted in 

 the open border; the dwarfer species thrive 

 well on rock-work, but duplicates should be 

 kept in small pots, as alpines, that they may 

 be sheltered by a frame in winter. The seeds 

 of the hardy annual and biennial kinds only 

 have to be sown, about the beginning of April, 

 where they are intended to remain. They may 

 all he easily multiplied by seeds, and -some of 

 the herbaceous sorts by dividing the plants at 

 the root in spring. Synonymes: 1, S. conoidea; 



2, S. hirsute/, ; 3, Cuc&oalus chloroefblius.
