the plant to form short jointed wood, and produce an abun- 
dance of flower-buds. After the flowering season, it will 
naturally lose all its leaves, but its large snow-white berries 
will still render it an attractive object. Being deciduous it 
requires very little water in winter, nor is it necessary to 
apply fire heat except to keep off frost. It may either be 
propagated from seeds or from cuttings, under ordinary 
treatment.
