sunny position is preferable; they will even grow in a limestone 

 country. They may be propagated from seeds, . which do not, 

 however, germinate until the second year after sowing; a good plan 

 is to stratify them the first year, sowing the spring of the second. 

 They may also be propagated by cuttings of mature or half-ripened 

 wood, or by layering. Grafting may also be resorted to for the 

 variegated and rarer kinds, seedlings of species of vigorous growth 

 being used for the stock.
