Details of the process of collecting and preparing the article, will be found in the Caledonian Horticultural Memoirs. (Vol. i. 160-259. ii. 314. and iv. 153.) The culture of lettuce as a salad plant is familiar to every one who has a garden. It is sown monthly, or oftener, throughout the year, in order to have a successional supply, and thinned out or transplanted to increase the size and succulency. The latter quality is greatly increased by watering in summer; and blanching, another desirable property, is promoted by tying up the leaves when the plant has attained about two-thirds of its usual size. Snails and slugs are very fond of this plant, and should either be watched and hand-picked, or the ground well watered with lime water, which effectually destroys them. The lettuce, unlike the cabbage and spinage, is a vegetable which can be grown to as great perfection in a warm as in a temperate climate, provided it be grown on rich soil, and abundantly supplied with water. Hence the lettuces of Paris, Rome, and Calcutta, are as large and tender as those of London and Amsterdam. This genus is the type of the tribe Lactuceæ of M. Cassini. It differs essentially from all other tribes of Compositæ, in having a divided or ligulate corolla only, and from nearly all other tribes in its style, which can be compared to that of Vernonieæ only. The radiant head of flowers is a character common both to Lactuceæ and Nassauvieæ. The greater part of Lactuceæ are found in Europe, a smaller number in Asia and Africa, very few in America, and in the southern hemisphere none at all. 1629. Chondrilla. Derived from χovδρoς, a lump. Dioscorides says, it bears on its stems little lumps of gummy matter. But Theophrastus speaks of the grumous or tubercled roots of his Chondrilla. The plant now so called is an inconspicuous perennial plant, of no recorded use. 1630. Prenanthes. From πρηvης, drooping, and avθoς, a flower. The heads of flowers of all the species are ORDER I.

Prenanthes serpentaria grows to the height of two feet, bearing pale purple flowers. It is known by the inhabitants of Virginia and Carolina under the name of the Lion's Foot, and is in high esteem as a cure for the bite of the rattle-snake. The juice of the plant boiled in milk is taken inwardly, and steeped leaves, frequently changed, are applied to the wound. It must not be confounded with Prenanthes rubicunda, called False Lion's Foot, which is a less powerful plant. Prenanthes virgata has a very fine effect in large plantations. 1631. Leontodon. So named from λεωv, a lion, and oδες, a tooth; in reference to the deep tooth-like divisions of the leaves. The English name Dandelion, is a corruption of the French translation of this word, Dent de lion; in German Pfaffenröhrlein and Dotterbluhme. It has been recommended as a winter salad, blanched like Endive; but it possesses too much bitter principle to render it fit for table under any management. Dent de lion, Fr., from its cut leaves, and Piss-en-lit, in French, and most other European languages, from its diuretic qualities. The tender leaves in spring, used in compound salads, are equal to those of Endive or Succory. The roots, which are fusiform, and abound in a milky juice, are eaten raw as a salad by the French, and boiled by the Germans, like Salsafy and Scorzonera. Dried and ground into powder, they afford a substitute for coffee, in all respects equal to that of Chicory roots. It is a difficult weed to extirpate, because every inch of root will form buds and fibres, and thus constitute a new plant. Swine are fond of it, and goats will eat it; but sheep and cows dislike it, and by horses it is refused. 1632. Apargia. Aπaργia is the Greek name of a plant now unknown. It has been employed by Dalechamp and Scopoli for a species of Hieracium. At the present day it is given to a genus of weedy plants, with the appearance of Leontodon.
