History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
As to the soil proper for auriculas and polyanthuses, much has been written, and some highly artificial com- 
positions of bullock's blood, sugar-baker's scum, night-soil, fuller's earth, &c. recommended. Many of the most 
successful growers, however, use nothing more than a loam from an old pasture or hedge-row, kept and turned 
over occasionally during a year, and then mixed with hot-bed dung rotten to a mould, or with leaf-mould, and 
some sand to keep it open. The soil and manure must be well mellowed by time before using, and not mixed 
till it is wanted, as that is said to generate worms. (See Encyc. of Gard. art. Primula.) 
P. auricula, helvetica, nivalis, and viscosa, are considered by Herbert as only varieties of one original, for he says 
he raised a powdered auricula and a P. helvetica from P. nivalis, and a P. helvetica from P. viscosa. {Hort. 
Trans, iv. 20.) These, and the other species of this genus, are well adapted for being kept in pots of loam and 
leaf-mould, or loam and peat well drained, and in frosty or wet weather during winter, protected by a frame to 
imitate their natural covering of snow in alpine regions. Sweet says, " they require to be shifted and parted 
frequently, for if left too long without these being done, they will dwindle away and die." The best time for 
parting and shifting is after they have done flowering. 
P. scotica, a pretty plant, resembling P. farinosa, has lately been discovered in Scotland by Dr, Hooker, pro- 
fessor of botany at Glasgow. 
351. Cortusa. So named by Mathiolus, in honor of his friend J. A. Cortusus, who first noticed it. This is a 
handsome little alpine, requiring a similar treatment to the Swiss Primulee. ' 
352. Soldanella. The diminutive of solidus, a shilling. The round leaves of these plants are very like 
pieces of money. They are among the least and most beautiful of alpine plants, and remarkable for the man- 
ner in which their corolla is cut or lacerated. Culture as in the Swiss Primulce. 
353. Dodecatheon. A name of the Romans, signifying 12 gods or divinities, applied with singular absurdity 
by LinnEBus to a plant, native of a world the Romans did not know, and resembling in no particular that of 
their writers. It was originally named Meadia by Mark Catesby, in honor of Dr. Mead, but the name was 
continued only as a specific appellation by Linnaeus. It is very ornamental when in flower ; afterwards the 
leaves die away, and the root only remains till next season. It is not easily kept ; but thrives better in a bed 
of light loamy soil, in a shady and rather moist situation, than in pots. 
354. Cyclamen. Derived from xuxXo^i a circle, on account of the numerous coils of the fruit-stalks. This 
genus consists of humble plants with very beautiful flowers. In the north of Italy wild swine feed on its
