ITat. Or. Brassicàceoe. The Rocket is a wellknown
flower in every garden. The herbaceous
kinds do best in a light rich soil, and

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
nnerely require sowing in the open border. Synonymes
