Cult. A genus of pretty little shrubs. An equal mixture 

 of loam, peat, and sand will suit the species. Young cuttings, 

 planted in a pot of sand with a bell-glass placed over them, 

 will strike root. Seeds of many of the species ripen in abund- 

 ance, by which the plants may easily be increased.
