Cult. Most of the species of olive are admired for the fra- 
grance of their flowers in our greenhouses. The soil best suited 
to them is a mixture of peat and loam. Ripened cuttings strike 
root readily in sand, under a hand-glass, those of the stove spe- 
cies in heat. They may also be increased by grafting on the 
common privet. O. oleáster and O. sativa will endure our 
winters against a south wall.
