Página 398 - Oanadepsis, or Bloodroot, is well known as one of our earliest spring flowers. The flowers and leaf proceed from the end of a fleshy root, and all, on being wounded, emit a bright orange-red juice. We copy a good description of the root : " The bud or hybernaculum which terminates the root is composed of successive scales or sheaths, the last of which acquires considerable size as the plant springs up.

Do the next in the same manner, and so on till every shoot is layered ; then cover them all with the sifted mould about three quarters of an inch deep, and that pot or plant is completed.
