330 LISTS OF TREES, &C- SECT, XIX. 



except early in spring, and must be kept cool by 

 frequent watering. 



As to the propagation of rose trees, many will 

 send forth suckers enow, and those that do not, 

 should be layered, by slitting (^as carnations; or 

 budded ; but may be two years before they root. 

 See page 69. Some will coine by cuttings, but 

 uncertainly, as the burgundy, c. The China ever- 

 green, or everbiowing rose, takes well by cuttings, 

 and is now found to stand our winters well, being 

 trained to a warm sheltered wall, in severe weather, 

 something beiwg put about the roots, or a mat be- 

 fore it. There are two colours of this rose, pate and 

 deep red ; some however of these should always be 

 potted. The bur net y apple, or any other sort pro- 

 ducing good seed, may be propagated by it ; but it 

 is a slow way, the seed seldom coming up till the 

 second year. The double yellow rose blows indiffer- 

 ently, but when fair, the flowers are very beautiful. 

 Plant it against an east wall, and in dry, but strong 

 ground : 1 suspect an insect makes it fail. 



Snow-drop tree is considerably ornamental. Layers 

 will be two years in rooting, If raised from seed, 

 (imported) sow it as soon as it arrives, in pots, or 

 boxes, and house before frosts come. If they 

 come not up the first year, set them on a gentle 

 heat the following spring, and they will soon ap- 

 pear. Shelter the seedlings in a frame, or a green- 

 house. 



Tutsan grows wild in woods, and will therefore do 

 well in the shade, as among trees. Every shrub, or 

 plant, that will flourish in such a situation is valua- 

 ble ; and a gardener's attention will be well employed 

 to discover them, by trials, &c. The St. John's wort, 

 and -St. Peters wort (allied to tutsan) may be planted 

 in the shade.
