cuttings may be taken from the plant about April or May, or 

 any time when it is in a growing state. The points of young 

 shoots with a small piece of the half- ripened wood at their 

 base, are the best for this purpose. 



It grows luxuriantly in a sandy peat. The pots should 

 be well drained at the bottom in order to prevent its suffer- 

 ing from too much water being given to it. It should be 

 regularly shifted from small pots to those of a larger size, not 

 giving it too much at once ; and by attention to watering, 

 and staking, it will soon form a handsome bush.
