Gardening. 1672 SKIRRET SMILAX Skirret belongs to a moisture-loving genus, and needs a rich soil. The seeds may be sown in autumn or spring and the plants yield well the first season. For European practice Vilmorin recommends that the seed- lings be grown in a seed-bed until they have made 4 or 5 leaves and then transplanted into permanent quarters. Sow the seed in drills half an inch deep, and thin out the seedlings to 8 inches in the row. The roots may be left outdoors in the ground all winter, but others advise storing them in sand or earth. -yy^ j^^ SKULL CAP. Scutellaria. SKUNK CABBAGE. Sjmthyema fcetida.
