bush from 10 to 12 feet high. It begins to blossom in February, 

 and continues till the end of May, disregarding both frost 

 and snow, being often covered with flowers from top to bot- 

 tom, and forming a most beautiful object. 



It thrives in light sandy peat, and is increased, but with 

 difficulty, either by cuttings struck in sand under a bell glass, 

 or by layers bent down in July.
