The E. , the favorites of gardeners, from the cottager's border to the nobleman's flower garden. The E. americanum runs very much at the root, and will not flower unless confined and prevented wasting its vigour in long subterraneous surculi. 783. Gloriosa. So named on account of the glorious colors of its flowers, and the elegance of their form. This is a splendid and curious genus, which requires considerable care in its treatment so as to make it flower is a splendid and curious genus, which requires considerable care in its treatment so as to make it flower freely. The late John Sweet, of Bristol, has given the following directions; "When the stalks and foliage have decayed in the autumn, and left the root, like a well-ripened potatoe, in a dormant state, the pot in which it is, must be removed from the bark-bed (to a dry part of the house) at some distance from the fire: all the warmth at this time necessary being merely what is sufficient to keep the earth in the pot free from damp: and to prevent the waterings of the house, or other moisture, falling on the earth in the pot, it should be covered, by inverting upon it another pot of the same size; or if larger, it will hang over its edges, and more effectually exclude the wet. If the roots are small, two or three may be placed together in the same pot, whilst in their dormant state; but if they are thus shifted, the mould must be well shaken down in the pot, in order to prevent the access of air to them: the old mould in which they grew must also be used; for fresh earth or sand would stimulate them to move too early. About the second week in March, the roots must be replanted, putting one or two, according to their size, into pots measuring six inches over. The best compost for them is fresh loam, mixed with an equal quantity of peatmould, of good quality; the loam should be good, not over rich with dung, nor too heavy. The roots are to be covered about two inches deep; and care must be taken not to break them, unless nature has shown where it is practicable to divide them casily. The pots, when filled, must be plunged into the bark-bed, where the easily. The pots, when filled, must be plunged into the bark-bed, where the heat should be equal to ninetyfive degrees of Fahrenheit's scale. Water is to be given very sparingly at first; and though, as they grow, ORDER I.

The heat must be well kept up; and as the roots extend, they must be supported. Under such treatment as I have described, I have known one plant grow ten feet in the course of a season, and to have numerous blossom-stems upon it." It is readily increased by dividing the roots. (Hort. Trans. iii. 2, 3.) The flowers are at first green, they afterwards assume those beautiful markings of yellow for which they are so much esteemed. 784. Bulbocodium.

C. majalis is an elegant and delicate scented plant, which has long been a favorite of the florist; though, as it is not a native of hot countries, it is not likely to be the Lily of the Valley of Solomon. Notwithstanding the fragrance of the flowers when green, yet when dried they have a narcotic odour, and if reduced to powder excite sneezing. An extract prepared from the flowers or from the roots partakes of the bitterness, as well as of the well as of the purgative properties, of aloes. A beautiful and durable green colour may be prepared from the leaves with lime The plant is very common in the woods about Woburn in Bedfordshire, and from thence the London markets are supplied with the flowers. It forces freely, and few plants are more eligible for that operation. 788. Smilacina. A diminution of Smilax, another genus of plants, which see in its place.
