Cult. This is a genus of beautiful little greenhouse shrubs ; 

 they will thrive best in a mixture of sand and peat, with a little 

 turfy loam. The young tops, before they begin to throw out 

 their buds, made into cuttings, and planted neatly in a pot of 

 sand, with a bell-glass placed over them, will root without heat.
