The Nutmeg tree requires a position in well-sheltered, hot, moist valleys in the tropics from sea-level up to 400 or 500 feet; it will grow and produce fruit in Ja- A. maica up to 2,000 feet, but the fruit is not so abundant nor the nut so large as at lower elevations. The soil must be a deep, rich loam, well drained. The seedlings have a tap-root which is very easily injured in trans- planting. The method usually adopted for growing them is to sow the seeds in bamboo pots, one in each. When they are ready for planting in their permanent places, the bamliuo is slit, and the .soil, with the plant, gently put into the prepared hole.

Sweet Cicely. One perennial herb native to Europe, and an immigrant to other countries, sometimes grown in gardens for its pleasing scent and anciently used as a flavoring in salads. In America Myrrhis is represented by Osmorhiza, which is known as Sweet Cicely. Two or three of the American plants have been named under Mvrrhis, but Coulter and Rose (Revision N. Amer. Umbeliiferse, 1888) contrast the two genera and refer these species to Osmorhiza. Technical characters distinguish the two genera.
