all of very easy culture and propagation. The stove and 
greenhouse species thrive well in a compost of maiden 
loam, sand, and a little peat. С. corymbosa may be placed 
out of doors, in a sheltered warm spot in June; but, so 
soon as the frost touches the foliage, the plant should be 
potted up, and, after cutting it back nearly to the old wood, 
wintered in a cool, frost-proof greenhouse or vinery. The 
annuals and biennials are increased by seeds, which must 
be sown in March or April, in a gentle heat; and the 
shrubby species, by cuttings of half-ripened shoots, which 
will root in heat, at about the same time of the year.
