U'LEX. Furze. (From the Celtic ac, a point ; the

 nosae]. Linn. \6-Monadelphia, 6-Decandria.) 



Hardy, yellow-flowered evergreens. Seeds in spring ; 

 deep, light soil, though not very particular. The gorse, 

 whin, or furze is valuable, not only for its great beauty, 

 but as constituting a valuable fodder and fence-plant. 

 The Double-blossomed Furze is very beautiful, and worthy 

 of a place in small gardens, and is propagated by cuttings 

 in spring and autumn, in a shady, sandy border, or under 

 hand-glasses. The Upright or Irish Furze is propagated 

 in a similar manner, and is also valuable for fodder ; but 

 it seldom flowers, and when it does has generally only a 

 few flowers on a plant. See HEDGE.

 allies, by suckers and layers, and by grafting on the 

 monta'na. The latter is also propagated, not by suckers, 

 but by layers, which root freely ; but chiefly by seeds, 

 which should be gathered in June as soon as ripe, and 

 sown in light, mellow soil ; or dried, and put in ba^s 

 until the following March or April. Deep, dry, sandy 

 loam suits all the species and varieties, and produces the 

 most valuable timber.
