CEANOTHUS (from keanothus, a name employed by 
Theophrastus to designate a spiny plant, derived from keo, 
to cleave; however, the modern genus has nothing to do 
with the plant of Theophrastus), ORD. Rhamnew. Hardy 
or half-hardy, smooth or pubescent shrubs. Flowers 
.. blue or white, very slender, disposed in terminal panicles 
К” ог іп thyrscid cymes. Leaves alternate, serrated, three- 
nerved. Branches erect. They thrive in almost any soil, 
but prefer a light one, and a well-drained situation. The 
majority of the species are very elegant, and are particu- 
larly suited for covering walls with almost all aspects. 
They are mostly of free and neat growth. Propagation is 
effected either by cuttings, which should be inserted in 
sandy soil, in a cold frame, in autumn, or by layers, which 
is the readiest way of obtaining strong plants. A great 
number of species have been introduced, from time to 
time, but only a comparative few are generally grown, 
although all are well worth cultivating.

a bell glass over them, in a moist bottom heat.
