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. 742. Young drupes (apri- cots), cut in two, show- ing ovules. Nat. size. In drapes of the genus Prunus there are two ovules, but usually only one DB'^AS (Greek, wood- nymph). JiosdcecE, A genus of 2 or 3 species of dwarf, hardy, tufted, evergreen, somewhat shrubby plants with oblong lvs. half an inch long, recurved at the margins, shining above, snowy white beneath, and large white or yellow fls. borne singly on slender scapes: calyx glandular-hairy : petals 8-9, broadly obovate: stamens many.

Dryas octopetala requires a well drained, porous soil, a sunny but not dry position. It is well to shade the foli- age from bright sun during the winter months with evergreen branches to prevent the foliage from having a scorched appearance. A capital plant for the rockery.
