Book Description
Excerpt from Cassell's Dictionary of Practical Gardening, Vol. 1: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Practical Horticulture for All Classes Its illustrations comprise practical as well as ornamental figures, showing almost every operation of the garden. Its language is absolutely free from technicalities. An attempt has been made to show plain gardening with no resources but those of the English language. Attention is called to some of the omissions. After careful consideration the deriva tions of generic names have been left out in order to make room for more cultural matter. For gardening purposes they are mostly useless, and a very large number are inconceivably stupid. Cimicifuga, from cimex, a bug, and fugo, to drive away, in allusion to its supposed virtue. Admirable, no doubt, but the horticulturist would rather leave his Cimicifugas in the garden when he contemplated a stay at an Arab hotel, and trust to Keating's insect powder. At the same time, the meaning of a very large number of Latin and other specific names and phrases will be given in the Glossary.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Complete Dictionary of Practical Gardening, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprehending All the Modern Improvements in the Art; Whether in the Raising of the Various Esculent Vegetables, or in the Forcing and Managing of Different Sorts of Fruits and Plants, and That of Laying Out, Ornamenting, and Planting, Gardens and Pleasur Jaca tree. See Artocarpus. Jack-In-A-Box. See Hernanuia. Jacquinia, a genus containing plants of the shrubby exotic kind for the stove. It belongs to the class and order Pentandria Monogynia, and ranks in the natural order of Dumosœ. The characters are: that the calyx is a fiveleaved perianthium: leaflets roundish, concave, permanent: the corolla is one-pctalled: tube bell-shaped, ventricose, longer than the calyx: border ten-cleft: divisions roundish, of which the five interior ones are shorter: the stamina have five awl-shaped filaments, arising froni the receptacle: anthers spear-sliaped :the pistillum is an ovate germ: style the length of the stamens: stigma headed: the pericarpium is a roundish acuminate berry, one-celled :the seed single, roundish, and cartilaginous. The species cultivated are:1. J.armilaris, Obtuse-leaved Jacquinia;2. J.ruscifolia, Prickly Jacquinia. The first is a very elegant upright shrub, seldom more than four or five feet high: the trunk round, thicker, and knobbed where the branches come out, covered with an ash-coloured bark; the branches four or five from each joint towards the top, in whorls, spreading, stiff, round, grooved, brittle, hoary, subdivided, and forming altogether a neat globular head: the leaves scattered, alternate, pctioled, clustered towards the ends of the twigs, wedge-shaped, ovate, obtuselymargined, quiteentire, veinless, smooth, pale underneath, with very ininute black dots: the racemes terminating, commonly shorter than the leaves, about two inches long, solitary, erect, loose, simple, seven-flowered, or thereabouts: the peduncles scattered, spreading, one-flowered :the flowers small, stiffish, white, smelling like Jasmine, and retaining their sweet scent several days. It is a native of South America, flowering in February and March. The second species is a shrub three feet in height, having the habits of the first; but it differs in the leaves being lanceolate, acuminate, pungent, extremely stiff, and one-flowered. It is a native of South America, flowering in January and February. Culture. - These plants are capable of being increased by sowing the seeds, procured from their native situation, in pots of light earth, in the spring season, plunging them in a bark hot-bed. When they have attained a few inches in growth, they must be removed into separate pots, and be replunged in a hot-bed in the stove, where they must be constantly kept. They may likewise be raised by planting cutlings of the young shoots, in pots of the same sort of earth, in the early spring, plunging them in the bark hot-bed, as in the other case; but in this way they are raised with difficulty. They afterwards require to be carefully managed, by having little water given in the winter time, but a free admission of air during the hot summer season, and occasional refreshings of water. They afford variety in stove collections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com
