will again commence; but if it proceed beyond a glowing 
warmth, the degree of pressure must be lightened, and then, 
the cause being removed, the fermentation will be checked. 
The pressure must be thus continued, more or less, for about a 
week; the leaves may then be stripped fiom the stalks, and laid 
away, either in boxes, or in rolls ot considerable size, until 
wanted for use. 
In this manner an article of real virtue may be secured by a 
comparatively small degree of trouble ; and thus a considerable 
saving in the garden expenditure may be justifiably effected. It 
cannot, however, be accomplished without the necessaiy ap¬ 
pliances. Ot the modes of using the herb, to effect the puipose 
of the horticulturist, I need not add a word.

foot long and half an inch thick, of a tetrangular form. Leaves 
lanceolate-ovate, placed at the summit of the stem. Raceme 
pendent, rising from the joint underneath the leaves, eight 
inches long ; sepals and petals pale buffish yellow ; labellum 
fringed and of a fine deep yellow. This is a beautiful species, 
and requires pot cultivation in a mixture of sphagnum, rotten 
wood, and turfy peat in equal quantities, and a liberal supply of 
water while growing, with a temperature of 75°. As soon as it 
has made its growth, it should be placed in a lower temperatuie, 
and checked from much water. — Native of India . 
108. Dendrobium Paxtonianum. A plant with bulbous stems 
from twelve to eighteen inches long, and round. Leaves altei- 
nately up the stem. Flowers produced from a shoit laceme 
from the joints of the stem. This species will do either in a pot 
or in a basket hung up, with the same treatment and tempeia- 
ture as the others. — Native of India.
