THE DICTIONARY 
312 
OF GARDENING, 
Mackaya —continued. : 
in a house or frame, where plenty of light and air 
may be admitted. Under such treatment, compact 
little plants, in 5in. pots, may be obtained by November. 
These should be kept quite dry until April, when they may 
be ent back and started in preparation for flowering the 
following year. When new growth begins, the plants should 
be transferred into 8in. pots, using a somewhat rough, rich 
soil, composed of about two parts loam to one of dried cow- 
manure. Another potting into 10in. sizes may be given 
in due course, and plants grown in them 3ft. high, by 
autumn. Dry off as before, and encourage the flowers to 
expand gradually, in spring, in a temperature of about 
60deg., and, when they commence opening, the plants should 
be transferred to a greenhouse which is some 10deg. cooler. 
It is important that the wood be thoroughly ripened, and 
all the points preserved until flowering is past, when 
similar treatment may be again given, if desired for the 
next year. It is, however, advisable to propagate and pre- 
pare a few new ones each season, to preserve a stock of 
healthy young plants. Brown Scale is frequently very 
troublesome; it must be removed from the stems or 
leaves by sponging with rather strong soft-soap water 
or some other insecticide.

while young, roundish-ovate in adults. China, 1872. An orna- 
mental, hardy, deciduous tree, remarkable from its juvenile (non- 
tlowering) state (see Fig, 496) exhibiting such a contrast to the 
adult (flowering) state (see Fig. 497, page 3515). This plant is 
Cudrania triloba; but, as it was omitted in Vol. I. of this work, 
and is so well known under the name given it by Carriére it is 
included here. In China, the leaves are used for feeding silk- 
worms, and the wood yields a yellow dye.
