PvrDs, Linn. From peren, the Celtic word for pear. 
‘^'Linn. 12, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Rosacea- To this genus 
belong the Pear and Apple, as well as the Service- 
tree, and many others, either prized for their fruit 
or their ornamental appearance. In our shrub- 
beries, they grow in any common soil ; but for the 
more highly cultivated ones a deep loam is neces- 
sary. They are increased by seeds, and the estab- 
lished kinds are multiplied by grafting the choicer 
on the common kinds. Synonymes : 1. P. mahis syl-

a kidney- 
this genus 
resemble the kidney -bean in their climbing stem’s, 
but are less tall. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convoltn- 
lacece. This genus, for the most part, consists of 
very beautiful half-hardy annutils. They require 
to be reared on a hotbed, and about the end of May 
they may be planted out in a wa-rm sheltered 
situation in the open border ; some of them may be 
kept in the greenhouse, where they will flower 
and ripen their seeds freely. The perennial kinds 
are well adapted for covering pillars in the stove 
or greenhouse. Any light rich soil suits them, and 
cuttings of the young wood root readily in sand, 
under a glass, in heat. Synonymes: 1. Ipomaa
