morning, made up into a mass two or three 

 inches thick, pressed with a heavy weight, 

 "sweated'' in considerable heat, and then 

 dried in a lower temperature. The cake thuci 

 produced is commercial saffron. Some idea 

 of the expensiveness of the drug may be

 saffron- It is said that one grain of saffron 

 will ciuffice to give a distinctly yellow tint to 

 ten gallons of water.

Fabiana. imbricata. — Though a 



ember of the order Solanaceae, this Chilian 



shrub bears a good deal of reiseniblance to a 

 heath, the leaves being email and scale-like, 

 while the pure white flowers are tubular in 

 shape. In the South and West of England 

 i^j is a delightful out-door shrub, but even 

 where it will not stand the winter in the open 

 ground it is well worth culture a^s a decora- 

 tive plant for the greenhouse. — T.
