THE' A. Tea. (From tcha, the Chinese name for tea.

 phia, S-Polyandria.) 



Greenhouse, white-flowered, evergreen shrubs. Cut- 

 tings of ripened young shoots, taken off at a joint, and 

 inserted in silver sand, under a bell-glass, and placed in 

 a close pit, the glass being opened at night to prevent 

 damping ; also by layers from shoots thrown up by the 

 roots ; also, we believe, by grafting the tenderer kinds 

 on vi'ridis. Equal parts of fibrous peat and sandy, turfy 

 loam packed tight. Winter temp., 38 to 48. As the 

 roots run deep, they thrive best when planted out in a 

 cool conservatory. Plants have survived many winters 

 round London in the open ground with the protection 

 of a mat in cold weather.
