careful watering in winter. TJie frame species
should be sown on a gentle hotbed in spring,
and when about two inches high, they may be
planted out into the open border. The seeds
of the hardy kinds should be sown in the open

a corruption of i n c l i c um, Indian, and

well known dye called Indigo. Linn. 17, Or.
4, Nat, Or. F a b à c e c e . An extensive genus of
rather elegant plants, the shrubby kinds of
Vv^hich are well worthy of cultivation. The
stove and greenhouse shrubby kinds thrive
best in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, and
may be increased without difficulty by cuttings
of the young wood planted in sand, under a
glass, in heat. The annual and biennial kinds
must be raised from seeds sown in a hotbed in
spring, and when the plants have grown a
sufficient height, they may be planted singly
into pots, and treated as other tender annuals
and biennials. The powdered leaf of L Ani l
is used in hepatitis. Indigo is produced from
various species of this genus, especially from
