OBSERVATIONS ON PARTICULAR SHRUBS. 



Ail-spice- tree must have a warm and dry part of 

 the shrubbery. The whole plant is aromatic 



Aralia, thorny, is propagated by pieces of its large 

 roots, and perhaps many other plants might be so : 

 In this way, the pyramidal campanula succeeds. 



Azalea likes cool ground, and rather shady ; must 

 be sheltered as to winds, and in this climate should 

 rather have a dry healthy soil, kept cool by occasional 

 watering during summer. Bog earth suits it best. 



Candleberry myrtle is so called, from the Ameri- 

 cans procuring a wax from the berries of this plant 

 to make candles of. It is rather tender, yet likes 

 (as many American plants do) a moist soil ; let it be 

 well sheltered trom bleak winds. 



Clethra is an elegant shrub, flowering all summer 

 and even winter; it prefers a moist soil. 



Coronilta is too tender to abide severe winters, and 

 so we generally find even the handy sort potted. 

 Its flowers are very pretty, of a bright yellow. There 

 are other sorts more tender, which must be potted 

 for protection from frosts, by housing them. 



Cytims, deciduous and evergreen, there is a variety 

 of, and all very ornamental, with their yellow flowers. 

 They are rather too tender for the open ground, and 

 the hardier sorts here mentioned, if tried abroad, 

 must have a dry warm situation. Seedlings should 

 be housed, or well protected in frames for the first 

 winter, but not kept too close. 



Germander tree treat as tender, for though it will 

 live abroad, it is mostly a green-house plant.
