Hardy Conifers. Seeds in April ; cuttings in autumn 

 or spring, in a moist, shady place ; layers, also, root the 

 first season ; a low, moist situation suits all the hardy 

 varieties best ; cuttings will also strike in water as freely 

 as toe Xerium. The evergreens should have a little 

 peat added, and will require a little protection in winter, 

 such as a cold pit would give, or surrounding them with 

 a frame of Spruce-branches.
