* # * If the tenderer forts of thefe fhrubs are judicioufly 

 planted, they may fucceed abroad, and are worth the 

 trial, as their place may, at any time, be eafily fupplied 

 by fome (hrub from the nurfery. While young, for a 

 winter or two, in feverc weather, a few bufhes laid 

 round, and a little peas haulm on the top, would fave 

 many a curious exotic, when they are nearly hardy enough 

 to endure our climate. 



OBSERVATIONS ON PARTICULAR SHRUBS. 



Adam's needle (yucca) is fomewhat tender, and fhould 

 be out of the way of cutting winds. 



Andromeda tree is too tender for the open ground in 

 general, but has furvived abroad, our ordinary winters, 

 being in a favourable fituation. It naturally likes a 

 moift foil : but keep the roots dry in winter. 



Ciflus, all the forts are rather tender, but if brought 

 up as hardy from the fowing as may be, and planted 

 in a dry foil, fhelter and fun, will Hand ordinary win- 

 ters abroad in the fhrubbery, and prove delightful or- 

 naments : Cuttings do not make fo fine plants as feed- 

 liogs, but are hardier. 



Cityfus, Spanifh, mud have a dry warm fituation. 



Germander tree, though generally conhdered as a 

 green-houfe plant, it is anerted, by fome, will endure 

 ordinary winters abroad, with proper management. 

 Rifk of experiment in thefe cafes, or the trouble at- 

 tending, fhould not be minded, for if a (hrub will live 

 abroad, it is furely much better there; and it has been 



found
