not divested of thei r leaves, wul root readily
in sand, under a iilass. The juice of the leaves of

The Rocket is a well-known flower in
every garden. The herbac^eous kinds do best in a

transplanting and dividing, or they will not
grow, particularly H. rnaironalis and its varieties •
the best time for doing it is when they begin to
spring afresh from the root after flowering. The
seed of the annual and biennial kinds merely require

stork, which is said to chew some of the species
Linn. \Q, Or. Nat. Or. Malvarew. All the species
of this extensive genus are very showy flowering
plants, and therefore deserve to be extensively
c u l t i v a t e d . The shrubby, stove, and greenhouse
kinds all require the same treaiment, growing
best in a mixture of loam and peat; and cuttings
root readily in sand, under a glass,, tlie stove kinds
in heat . H. syriacus thrives well in an
common
garden soil, and is easily increased by
lyers, or
seeds, whil e its varieties may be graf ted one on^he
other, or they may be raised from cuttings planted
under a hand-glass. The hardy herbaceous kinds
are particularly showy; they are marshy plants,
and require to be grown in a rather moist soil,
w i t h protection in winter. The hardy aniuials
merely require to be sown in the open ground.
The tender biennials and annuals require to be
sown in poLs, and treated as other tender annuals
and biennials. The petals of H. rosa sinensis are
astringent, and a few species, such as H. sabdar{jja
and suratiensis, are slightly acid. Synonymes: 1.
