TROP^EOLACEiE, INDIAN CRESSES, or NASTUR- 

 TIUMS. These are so well-known inhabitants of 

 our gardens and greenhouses, that any descrip- 

 tion here would be unnecessary. 



TropAolum, Linn. From tropaion, a trophy ; 

 the leaves resemble a buckler, and the flowers 

 an empty helmet. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Tropceolacece. All the species are very showy 

 when in flower, and are therefore desirable 

 acquisitions to every collection. The green- 

 house and frame species thrive in any light 

 rich soil ; and are readily increased by cut- 

 tings in the same kind of soil, under a glass. 

 The annual species should be sown in the open 

 ground in spring. The tuberous-rooted kinds 

 succeed well in the open air, in a sheltered 

 situation, during summer ; in winter they may 

 be taken up and kept in sand until spring, 

 when they may be again planted out into the 

 open ground. The seeds of T. m&jus are 

 pickled, and used as capers, to which they are 

 preferred by some. The roots of T. tuberosum, 

 are eaten in Peru. Synonymes: 1, T. poly- 

 phffllum ; 2, T. edule ; 3, T. peregrinum. See 

 Chymoe&rpus.
