Cult. The species of Viburnum are all beautiful shrubs, 

 and the hardy species are well adapted for ornamental shrub- 

 beries. They are either increased by laying in the shoots, or 

 by cuttings under a hand-glass in a shady situation. The green- 

 house anil hardy kinds are early flowerers, which render them 

 very desirable.
