mellow. They are mostly well rooted in the course of a twelve- 

 month, when they may be removed into nursery-rows as above. 



The layers should be made from the young wood, being laid 

 down in the autumn, when in the course of the year they mostly be- 

 come well rooted, and may be taken off and planted out in nursery- 

 rows as the seedling plants. 



The suckers, which are produced in plenty from the two first 

 sorts, which may be removed in the early autumn or spring, and 

 planted out in nursery-rows or in beds, to be afterwards removed 

 into them. 



The two last, or tender sorts, may likewise be raised from seeds 

 and cuttings, but they must be sown and planted in pots, filled with 

 good mould, to Have the assistance of a hot-bed in the stove, by 

 being plunged in it. When the plants have attained a little 

 growth, they should be shaken out of the pots, and planted separately 

 in small pots filled with the same sort of earth, plunging them in the 

 tan-bed, affording due shade till well rooted, managing them after- 

 wards as other tender stove plants. 



The plants are most tender while young; they should therefore 

 be kept in the stove tan-bed till they have acquired strength, when 

 they may be preserved in the dry stove, with a temperate heat in 

 winter, and be exposed in the open air in summer, in a warm shel- 

 tered situation when the weather is fine. 



The hardy sorts have a fine effect in the border, clumps, and 

 other parts of pleasure-grounds, and the tender kinds afford variety 

 in the stove collections.
