tlie base. Tlie editor recommends the roots of Ranunculuses to be taken np at, or 
before the end of July. — Let the dirt be carefully rubbed ofl' with the fingers, 
within a day or two after, while the claws are in a pliant state ; dry them in an 
airy, but shady room, for if exposed to the sun they are apt to shrivel. When 
dried, put thcni in paper bags, and keep them in a dry part of the house. Law-

o-ated state.

Part 173, fob September, contains 
A VERY ^ood selection, and some of them new. To those who have a stove, we 
particularly recommend the Gesiivria Bitlbosa, as a very handsome addition to the 
plants. We should consider it a very g-reat injprovement to this little work, if the 
names were accented ; that the young botanist may, when he posses.ses it, have 
a complete work, without having to refer to another for accentuation. Iberis
