tow erect, fending out many fide-branches whicl* are 

 alio ereft ; they have a pale green bark when young, 

 which afterward changes to a yellowifli colour. 

 The leaves are fhorter, and fct cloler together than 

 thofe of the other fort, and are of a lighter green, ap- 

 broaching to a gray colour ; the flowers are produced 

 in lono- loofe fpikes at the end of the branches, (land- 

 ing ereft •, they are larger than thofe of the former, 

 and have ten ftamina Handing alternately. It flowers 

 about the fame time as the former. 

 Thefe both cafl: their leaves in autumn, and it is 

 pretty late in the fpring before the young ones pufli 

 out, which renders them lefs valuable ; they are now 

 frequently planted in gardens for ornament, and, 

 when they are mixed with other flirubs, make a pretty 



■ variety. 



They may be eafily propagated by laying down their 

 tender fhoots in autumn, or by planting cuttings in 

 an eaft border, which, if fupplied with water in the 

 fpring before they begin to (hoot in dry weather, will 

 take root in a fliort time^ but they Ihould not be^ re- 

 moved until the following autumn, at which time 

 they may be either placed in a nurftry to be trained 

 up two or three years, or elfe into the quarters where 

 they are defigned to remain, obferving to mulch their 

 roots, and v/ater them according as the feafon may 

 require, until they have taken root ; after which, the 

 only culture they will require is to prune off the 

 ftraggling flioots, and keep the ground clean about 



them.
