A very fast growing climber, well adapted to a 
conservatory ; it thrives well in the open air in 
summer, and looks well growing up by the side of 
a house ; if the wall be rough on which it runs, the 
tendrils will catch fast hold of the crevices and 
support the branches without any assistance ; it 
mav be increased by cuttings, which will root 
under a glass, in a little moist heat, but it is best 
to raise it from seeds, which ripen in abundance.

Linn. 15, Nat. Or. Cruciferce. Plants of little 
interest with the exception of C. Armoracca, the 
common Horse-radish, which should be planted in 
February or October in a deep rich soil ; the best 
way of increasing it is by slips from the root. The 
smaller perenni^ kinds do best in pots or rock- 
work. The annuals and biennials merely require 
sowing in the open border, which should be done 
directly after the seeds have ripened. Synonymes :

21, Or. 6, Nat. Or. PalmaeecB. The cocoa-nut tree 
belongs to this elegant genus. The species grow 
upwards of fifty feet high, and are cultivated best in 
a mixture of loam and peat or light sandy loam, in a 
warm moist atmosphere. They do not succeed 
well in our collections, probably from being too 
much exposed to the sun, as they thrive best in 
the shade in their native country. Synonyme: 1.
