These are very elegant and rather slender
species, quite hardy enough to stand out if
)lanted in dry situations or on rock-work,
)rovided they are protected during winter
: rem wet and most severe frosts. They thrive
best in loamy soil mixed with a little sandy
peat, and may be increased by seeds or cuttings
of tha young shoots. Sijnonyme: 1, Incamilea

in the season, sooner than almost any other

The plants that yield this very superior fruit,
so much esteemed for its sweet _ aromatic
flavour were first cultivated in this country
at Sir Matthew Dicken's, at Richmond, where
fruit was fiivst produced in 1715. There are
now a great many distinct kinds described in
our gai%en lists : of these only a few are worthy
of extensive cultivation—such as the common
broad-leaved Queen, Eipley Queen Lemon
Queen, Black Jamaica, New and Old Irovidence,
Antigua, Montserrat, Cayenne P.othschilds,
and a few others. The methods of
cultivation are various, but pot culture as
practised for so many years is now almost
everywhere superseded by bedding out, which
is much less trouble, and also furnishes larger
fruit in a shorter space of time. By this system,
young plants are merely planted in a bed
composed of open sandy loam well charred
by a wood fire, and mixed with a small portion
of deer's dung, sheep's dung, or very rotten
horse dung. The bed is heated by hot-water
pipes passing through a hot-air chamber beneath,
and of sufficient power to supply the
soil with a heat of 75 or 80 degrees. There
must also be sufficient surface-pipes to perfectly
heat the air of the house or pit. In hne
weather admit air the first thing in the morning
(say seven o'clock), and close the ^of « ¿ ^
in the afternoon (say three o'cloc^c) ; wl^en
the paths should be watered and the plants
