Linn, 3, Or. 1, Nat . Or. Iridacece. The genus Iris
has long been, as it still cH)ntinues to be, a great
favourite in the flower-garden. The swordleaved
sorts," says Sweet, " do best in a light
loamy soil, and increase freely by suckers from the
roots, or by seeds. The tuberous-rooted ones are
more difficult to cultivate, and thrive best in a
mixture of loam, peat, and sand, as does also the
tribe to which I. persica belongs, as I. alata, cancasica,
reticulatai &c. The common bulbous species
do well in common garden soil, the more sandy the
b e t t e r . " 1. tuberosa is purgative, and I , versicolor
and vcrna are used in the United States as cathartics.

IPOMOPSIS, Micheli. From ipo, to strike forcibly, and
apsis, sight; alluding to the dazzling colour ot the
flowers. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Pokmoniace(s.
A very beautiful genus of plants, but rather difficult
to cultivate. The following is our mode of
treatment:—About the end of Jul y the seed should
be sown very thinly in small pots, large sixties,
well crocked, and filled with peat and loam, both
sandy, and in equal parts, and placed m a cold
frame, wher e the seed will soon vegetate, during
which time the least possible water is given.
When the plants begin to show signs of leaves,
they are thinned out to three or four m each pot;
in about a week after this, they should be removed
into a rather light and airy part of the greenhouse,
where they remain all winter. During winter,
over-watering, and drips f rom the roof of the house,
must be carefully avoided. In spring, they are
shifted into forty-eight-sized pots, well drained,
and the same kind of soil as before; in doing this,
great care must be taken not to injure the roots.
I n this sized pot they will generally be found to
flower. Out of the four plants left after thinning,
it is rare that more than two remain in each pot,
one of which may be destroyed if the other appears
healthy and well established; if not, let both remain.
In the course of their growth, water cannot
be too cautiously given, especially just before the
plants break into flower. Thus nourished, in an
airy situation near the glass, they flower splendidly
in July and August, and continue beautiful for a
longtime. Synonyme: Gilia pulchella.
