. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 2656. Outline of Vermont. Truck gardening is practiced, of course, in the neigh- borhood of all the principal cities; but it cannot be said to be a well-managed business. Those crops which grow in special perfection are beans, i>otatoes, peas, tomatoes, salsify and parsnips. Those which cannot be grown, or which are, as a rule, unsuccessful, are melons, okra, sweet potatoes, turnips and Lima beans. Special crops which are sometimes grown in quantities for export are seed peas, white beans and onions. On account of the long, cold winters and the short, cloudy days of that season, greenhouses are operated at a great disadvantage. The production of hothouse vege- tables is, therefore, very small, and florists find it diffi- cult to grow roses and lilies, or even violets and carna- tions, at a profit. The Vermont Horticultural Society was organized Decembers, 1896. It is, therefore, a youug, though an active and useful society. p_ ^^ Waugh. VERNdNIA (after Wm. Vernon, an English botanist who traveled in North America). Compdsifie. Iron- weed. A genus of nearly 500 species of perennial herbs or rarely shrubs, with alternate, pinnately veined leaves and usually purple or rose flowers borne in the follow- ing species in terminal cymes. The genus is widely scattered about the world, but is possibly most plentiful in South America. The following species are native of the United States, and are hardy perennial herbs of at- tractive appearance, with rather large heads of purple flowers in terminal clusters in late summer or early fall. Heads not glomerate, several- to many-fid.: involucre of dry or partly herbaceous, much-imbricared bracts: corolla regularly 5-cleft into narrow lobes: akenes
