CRUCIFERAE 
The mustard family is a large one, contenting itself with the meager 
fare of waste places. Sun and well-drained soil are its chief requisites. 
The aethionemas are among the most floriferous and completely satis- 
fying of spring-blooming shrubs, wonderful on sunny walls and dry 
slopes. For good form in the plants the whole flowering spike should 
be removed at withering.
