This charming little flirub is a native of Switzerland and 

 Auftna : Clusius informs us that it grows in great abundance 

 on many of the mountains near Vienna, fo much fo that 

 women gather it when in flower and fell it in the markets; it s 

 beautiful and fragrant bloifoms come forth in April and May, 

 the principal feafon for its flowering, but it frequently blows 

 during moft of the Summer, and even in the Autumn ; ll 

 varies with white blofToms. 



It is extremely hardy, thrives remarkably well in road fand 

 in almoft any fituation ; is propagated by feeds, which very 

 rarely ripen with us, by layers, and by grafting it on the Rock 

 of the Mezereon, whereby it acquires an elevation fuperiorto 

 what it has naturally.
