CISTÂCEIE, or EOCK-ROSES. A small order consisting
of dwarf and trailing shrubs and herbaceous
plants, mostly with showy, fugitive
flowers. The resinous balsamic substance
known as Ladanum is obtained from Cistus
Ledon, Creticus, and others. All deserve cultivation.
CisTUS, Toicrnefort. From the Greek, Icistos,
which is derived from Idste, meaning a box
or capsule ; on account of the remarkable
shape of the capsule. Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Cistàceoe. This is a beautiful genus of
})lants, varying in height from one to four
feet ; they are considered hardy, but some of
them require protection in winter, either in a
greenhouse or cold frame ; most of the species,
however, will pass the winter in the open
ground, if the weather be not very severe ; but
the best plan is to keep some of all the sorts
in pots, that they may be more easily protected
from severe weather, when they may bo
turned out in the borders in spring, where
they will flower freely. They do well in common
soil, and are increased by layers, or
ripened cuttings placed under a glass, or seeds.

18, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Aurantiàcece. This is an
ornamental genus of fruit trees, growing from
three to fifteen feet high ; they thrive best in
a good loamy soil, mixed with a quantity of
rotten dung. They do not like much potroom,
nor too much water, when in a growing
state. The diiferent kinds are procured by
budding or grafting on common stocks, which,
as soon as operated upon, should be ])laced in
some close frame, in a moderate dung heat.
Stocks for working upon are raised from any
oranges, lemons, &c. They are sometimes
raised from cuttings, in which case they produce
fruit when very small plants. See Severinia.
