80 THE DICTIONARY OF GARDENING, 
Aralia—continued. . 
A. reginze (queenly). This is of larger habit than the Veitchii 
section ; the leaf branches are more closely set, and the habit of 
growth is very graceful; the stem and petioles are freckled ; the 
palmate divisions of the stalk are smooth, and of a uniform 
green. Stove. 
A. Sieboldii (Siebold’s). The plant commonly grown in gardens 
under this name is Fatsia japonica. 
A. triloba (three-lobed). 2. three-lobed, each segment being 
nearly lit. long and about jin. across, of a deep, bright green. 
New Caledonia, 1896. A fine and distinct stove plant. 
ARAUCARIA. Syn. Dombeya (of La Marck). 
Including Altingia and Eutacta. The known species of 
this genus number about ten, and inhabit South America, 
Australia, New Caledonia, and the South Pacific Islands. 
To those described on p. 106, Vol. I., the following should 
be added : 
A. brasiliana (Brazilian). The correct name of A. brasiliensis. 
A. elegans (elegant). A synonym of A. brasiliana. 
A. imbricata platifolia (broad-leaved). A form with much 
broader leaves than in the type. 1895. 
A. Muelleri (Mueller’s). 7. oval, imbricated, almost flat, longi- 
tudinally marked with small, whitish spots arranged in series. 
cones ovoid, 5sin. long, 34in. broad; scales about 1?in. long and 
broad. New Caledonia, 1884. Plant ultimately forming a large 
tree,-with spreading, plume-like branches, (F. & P. 1884, p. 27; 
I, H. ser. iv. 449.) 
ARAUJIA. The correct name of the genus described 
on pp. 115-6, Vol. III., as Physianthus. 
A. grandiflora (large-flowered).* fl. pure white, very sweet- 
scented, funnel-shaped, nearly Jin. across, borne in clusters of 
about six. September. 2. cordate-obovate, acute. Brazil, 1837. 
Syn. Schubertia grandiflora (Gn., 30th July, 1887). 
ARBORICULTURE is that phase of gardening 
which treats of the culture of trees. An Arboriculturist 
is one who cultivates trees, making them a speciality. 
ARBOUR. An Arbonr is always a favourite place in 
a garden, and may be formed under trees that naturally 
lend themselves to the purpose. The Weeping Ash is 
excellent; in fact, most of the Weeping trees are suit- 
able. The Yew, again, Beech, and the Portugal Laurel 
may all be trained to form very pleasant retreats. The 
Arbour which finds the most favour is one made with 
wood or iron trellis, and covered with Roses, Clematis, 
Honeysuckle, Jasmine, or other sweet-scented climbers. 
Occasionally an Arbour is covered with Ivy or Ampelopsis, 
and very handsome they are on the exterior, though they 
make the inside somewhat dark. 
ARBUSCLE. A low shrub in the form of a tree. 
ARBUTUS. About ten species are referred to this 
genus; they are natives of Europe and North America, 
the genus being represented in this country by A. Unedo. 
For several species formerly included here, see Arcto- 
staphylos and Pernettya. 
It is very important that the soil in which the species of 
Arbutus are planted should be thoroughly well drained, as 
they abhor anything like stagnation at the roots. Although 
hardy, it is not advisable to plant them in positions 
exposed to cold winds or under or near large trees, as they 
refuse to flower freely unless the growths are properly 
ripened. 
Propagation. Budding may be conducted with success 
during the month of July, taking care to use eyes 
only from well-matured wood. Grafting should be per- 
formed in spring, just before growth commences. After 
the scions have been securely tied to the stocks they 
should be placed in a close case, where the temperature 
ranges from 60deg. to 70deg. They must be shaded from 
the sun, and a slight syringing overhead occasionally will 
be of great assistance in helping them to start away more 
freely. When growth an inch or so in length has been 
made, it will be advisable to stand them in a more airy 
part of the house. They should be grown in pots until the 
following spring, and then planted out in nursery rows in a 
mixture of peat, loam, and leaf-mould. 
Arbutus—continued. 
A. furiens (raging). /l. in short axillary racemes. fr. a reddish- 
brown berry, causing delirium if eaten. J. oval, shortly petiolate, 
denticulate, shining above. Chili. ‘ 
A. Milleri (Miller's). A garden hybrid, with pink flowers and 
large leaves. 
A. phillyrezxfolia (Phillyrea-leaved). 
nettya phillyrecefolia. 
ARCADE. An Arcade in a garden is usually a 
walk covered over in the form of a trellis with trees or 
climbers. A very fine Arcade made with trees may be 
seen at Hampton Court Palace, and in many gardens 
beautiful Arcades are made with iron and stout wire, 
covered with Roses or other suitable plants in the 
summer months. A profitable and highly ornamental 
Arcade could be made by planting Apple, Pear, and Plum 
Trees in cordon form, and training them over the trellis 
until they meet in the centre. By planting varieties that 
are known to fruit freely on cordon trees, and also by 
selecting sorts that produce large or handsome fruit, a 
fine effect is produced, alike when the trees are in blossom 
and in fruit; in addition to which the fruit is valuable 
for use-
