Cut. This is a shrub of recent introduction, and appears to 
be quite hardy, but, on account of its early vernation, the young 
leaves are apt to be affected by our late spring frosts. It forms 
an erect bushy shrub, grows in any kind of garden-soil, and 
increases readily by cuttings or by layers. J. S.
