gathered smell like apricots. When the plant is coming into flower it will dye wool a full nankeen color, and 
gathered in September a darker yellow. It has been used for dressing leather. Sheep and goats eat it, but 
kine, horses, and swine refuse it. 
1102. Reseda. From resedo, to calm, to appease. The Latins thought it useful as a topical application in 
external bruises. R. Luteola, a diminutive of lutea, yellow, is used by dyers, especially in France. (Chaptal's 
Chimie applique a 1' Agriculture, &c.) It affords a most beautiful yellow dye for cotton, woollen, mohair, silk 
and linen. Blue cloths are dipped in a decoction of it, in order to become green. The yellow color of the 
paint called Dutch Pink, is obtained from this plant. The entire plant, when it is about flowering, is pulled 
up and employed both fresh and dried. Mr. Swayne observes, that it is one of the first plants which grow on 
the rubbish thrown out of coal pits. It flowers in June and July. The root and bottom leaves are formed 
from the fallen seeds before winter ; and thus it happens in this, as in many other cases, that the wild plant is 
biennial, whilst the cultivated plant, growing from seeds sown in the spring, is annual. It is an observation 
of Linnseus's, that the nodding spike of flowers follows the course of the sun, even when the sky is covered ; 
pointing towards the east in a morning, to the south at noon, westward in the afternoon, and to the north 
at night. 
R. odorata is a well known and universal favorite. The flowers are highly odoriferous, and there are very 
few to whom this odor is offensive. The plant is in great demand in London for rooms and placing in 
balconies, and forms for these purposes an extensive article of culture among the florists and market gar- 
deners. The plants are in many cases sown and transplanted into pots, three or four plants to a pot lour 
inches in diameter. To obtain plants for blowing from December to February, a sowing should be made in 
July in the open ground, and the plants potted in September. The crop for March, April, and May, should be 
sown not later than the twenty-fifth of August, the plants from this sowing will not suffer by exposure to rairs, 
whilst they are young ; they must, however, be protected from early frosts, like the winter crop ; they are to
