and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
The seed should be sown in the latter end of March in a pot, which must be placed in a melon-frame ; the 
seedling plants, while small, should be set out singly in small pots, and kept under the shelter of a cold frame, 
until about the twentieth of May, when the mildness of the season will probably allow of their being planted 
out, without risk of being killed by frost. The plants must be put out three feet apart in very rich soil. In 
live or six weeks from the planting, their branches will have grown sufficiently to allow the gathering of the 
leaves for use. In dry seasons, the plants will probably require a good supply of water. They put forth their 
branches vigorously as soon as they have taken to the ground, and extend before the end of the season three 
feet on each side.

mat time : the termination anthemmn, which signifies flowering, is, to say the least of it, superfluous. The 
spMies of this extensive genus are singular, yet beautiful, and some even splendid plants. Their leaves are of 
oaa shapes, and the habits of most of the sorts slovenly and insignificant, though some are grotesque ; but the
