artificial heat in about six weeks. When the plants are 
somewhat advanced, they should be gradually hardened 
off. Great care must, however, be taken to shade them 
from too much sunshine, and to keep them regularly 
watered. When they are about lin. high, they may be 
transferred to small pots; this shift enables them to be 
placed i in a frame to re-establish. A few plants should be 
kept in the frame during the winter, and removed out 
. ef doors in spring, when the weather becomes mild and 
. genial In all савез, a slight protection from frost will 
reduce the chances of their being destroyed by an extra 
severe winter. Cuttings should be made from Зір. to 4in. 
in length; they may be struck in spring or autumn, in 
sandy peat, under glass, shade and water being given 
until roots are formed. The plants should then be potted 
off singly into a compost of rich loam and leaf mould, and 
finally planted out; but it is always advisable to reserve 
duplicates in pots for winter protection, so as to be able 
to replace in the event of loss. 
Many of the names here given simply represent varying 
forms of a few species. As, however, they are distinct 
for gardening purposes, they are mentioned under the 
names by which they are known in horticultural works.
