Sapotàcem, These are plants of grand foliage,

species are robust enough to bear our winters
in the open air, but being rather tender, they
require to be placed in a sheltered situation, or
against a warm wall, and covered with mats
during winter ; cuttings root in santi, under
a glass. The stove species are low W. Indian
trees, and known there under the name of
bully-tree. They thrive well in loamy soil,
or loam and peat ; and cuttings will root, but
not freely, in sand under a hand-glass, being
well ripened before they are taken oif. SyyionyviGS
