scale. The form of the silicles is that of little scales. L. piscidium is used 
by the natives of the Society Islands for the purpose of catching fish by inebriating them. It was used by the 
English voyagers as a salad, but it was very pungent. L. oleraceum is a powerful antiscorbutic, and is found 
of great service to the crews of ships visiting New Zealand ; it resembles lettuce in taste, and acts as a moderate 
aperient. 1,. sativum, the common garden cress, is a salad-plant known to every one, and which even the 
cook can cultivate on moistened cloth or wool in a moist heat. Watering with water, impregnated with mu- 
riatic acid gas, or electrifying, will facilitate the germination and developement of the seeds.

the stamens. From a-i^u, to scorch, and vY,yL(x,, a stamen. Smith.

roughness and inequalities of the skin. It was formerly called glastum, from the Celtic glas, blue, whence 
Glastonbury derived its name. The ancient Britons colored themselves with the blue preparation obtained 
from this plant, whence they received their appellation, Britho being the Celtic word for to jjaiiit. The Picts 
were so named by the Romans for the same reason. On account of the brightness of its manufactured colors 
the Celts called it gwed (guesde, French, at this day), whence the Anglo-Saxons obtained tiieir name of waad 
or wad, and the English the word wood. I. tinctoria is in occasional cultivation for its leaves, from which a 
dye, as a substitute for indigo, is obtained. The seeds are sown on well prepared land in good heart ; fresh broken 
old pasture land is preferred ; and the great object is to have large leaves ; for which purpose, as Miller observes, 
the culture given by the best gardeners to spinage should be imitated, that of sowing on a very rich well pul- 
verised soil, thinning the plants so as they may not touch each other, keeping them perfectly clear of weeds, 
and frequently stirring the soil between the plants. The culture applied to the turnip in Northumberland 
would succeed well with woad. The seeds are sown in July, and the i)lants, when they come up, weeded and 
thinned ; next July, or earlier, the first crop of leaves may be gathered, and two or three others will be ob-
