and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
with nearly one-half its bulk of decomposed horse dung. Turn it over twice or three times, and the winter 
before using add a twelfth-part of sheep dung, a twentieth of pigeon dung, and a twentieth of dried ordure. 
Henderson, already mentioned, takes one part of light-brown mould from a piece of ground that has not 
been cropped nor manured for many years; one part of peat earth, such as is used for growing heaths ; two 
parts of river sand, or pit sand, if it be free from mineral substances ; and one part of rotted hot-bed dung, 
with one part of rotted leaves of trees, and mixes them all well together, so as to form a compost-soil of uni- 
form quality. {Caled. Hort. Mem. in. 302.) 
Though orange-trees will grow exceedingly well in large pots and boxes, yet to have them produce the finest 
crop of fruit they should be planted in the ground like peach-trees, and trained like them, or as standard cher- 
ries in a conservatory. The latter has by far the best effect, especially when the stems of the trees are seven 
or eight feet high, and the head forms a handsome cone ; but the largest fruit is produced when the trees are 
planted against the back-wall trellis of a narrow house, and treated like peach-trees. Henderson grows his 
largest fruit in this manner, and we have seen them fully as large as any we ever saw at Genoa or Naples. 
1616. Xantkochymus. From ^ocv^o;, yellow, and any thing which exudes : in allusion to the color of the 
juice which flows from the ripe fruit when wounded, and which, being inspissated, yields a material for water- 
color painting which is as good as Gamboge. Handsome plants, of the usual culture in light loam, and pro- 
pagated by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 
1617. Hypericum. A name of unknown meaning. The species are chiefly under-shrubs, generally with dot- 
ted leaves, and almost, without exception, yellow flowers. The hardy species are useful for thq fronts of
