  This

  grown 
  in 
  places 
  rather 
  warm, 
  and 
  its 
  good 
  

   quality 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  peculiarity 
  of 
  being 
  nicotinous, 
  which, 
  as 
  you 
  are 
  

   aware, 
  is 
  an 
  advantage 
  in 
  certain 
  kinds 
  of 
  this 
  weed

  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  this 
  

   plant 
  is 
  apt 
  to 
  be 
  blended 
  with 
  other 
  materials, 
  is 
  due, 
  in 
  our 
  opinion, 
  *to 
  the 
  

   richness 
  of 
  the 
  soil 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  cultivated. 
  This 
  plant 
  soon 
  robs 
  the 
  soil 
  of 
  

   its 
  nourishment 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  a 
  certain 
  number 
  of 
  years 
  requires 
  renova- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  the 
  soil

  the 
  same 
  is 
  properly 
  fertilized."

  This 
  variety 
  is 
  grown 
  in 
  a 
  temperate 
  climate 
  and 
  

   the 
  elasticity 
  of 
  its 
  leaves 
  on 
  being 
  wet 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  this 
  fact, 
  as 
  is 
  also 
  the 
  color 
  

   of 
  its 
  leaves 
  and 
  their 
  freedom 
  from 
  stain, 
  although 
  this 
  generally 
  depends 
  

   on 
  the 
  care 
  which 
  is 
  being 
  taken 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  cutting 
  them; 
  it 
  is 
  necessary 
  

   to 
  protect 
  the 
  plant 
  from 
  the 
  sun 
  after 
  a

   The 
  seeds 
  of 
  this 
  East 
  Indian 
  myrtaceous 
  tree 
  were 
  received 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Eugenia 
  

   jambolana, 
  which 
  was 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  by 
  Lamarck 
  in 
  1789. 
  However, 
  Lin- 
  

   naeus, 
  in 
  1753, 
  had 
  given 
  the 
  name 
  Myrtus 
  cumini 
  to 
  a 
  tree 
  from 
  Ceylon, 
  and 
  the 
  

   specimen 
  on 
  which 
  this 
  name 
  was 
  based 
  is 
  preserved 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  herbarium, 
  

   and 
  was 
  identified 
  in
