This is the finest of all the Proteads. Greenhouse 

 evergreens. Cuttings of ripe shoots with leaves on, unless 

 the one at the base, in sand, under a glass, and kept 

 cool until the base swells, when a little heat may be 

 given ; also by layering the suckers that rise from the 

 roots ; sandy loam and peat, with a third of broken 

 stone, potsherds, and charcoal, and the pot extra well 

 drained. Winter temp., 45 to 55, and not much water ; 

 summer, 60 to 75, and a good supply of moisture, the 

 pot being defended from the sun.

TEMPERATURE is one of the most important cir- 

 cumstances connected with the cultivation of plants ; 

 for upon its proper regulation and just accommodation 

 to the intensity of light depend, in the chief degree, 

 whether a plant is healthy, and capable of performing 

 its functions. Every seed has its appropriate tempera- 

 ture for germinating (see GERMINATION) ; every root has 

 a temperature in which it imbibes food most favourably 

 (see BOTTOM-HEAT) ; and every leaf has a temperature 

 in which it respires most vigorously. (See LEAVES and 

 NIGHT TEMPERATURE.) 



TEMPLES dedicated to some deity of the heathen 

 mythology, as to Pan in a grove, or to Flora among 

 bright, sunny parterres, are not inappropriate, if the 

 extent of the grounds and the expenditure on their I 

 management allow them to be of that size and of that | 

 correctness of style, which give the classic air and dignity 

 that are their only sources of pleasure.
