336* LISTS, OF TREES, &C. SECT. XIX, 



rally likes a moist soil ; but keep the roots dry after 

 cummer. 



Cistus, all the sorts are rather tender, but if 

 brought up as hardy from the very sowing as may be, 

 and planted in a dry soil, shelter and sun, will stand 

 ordinary winters abroad in the shrubbery, and prove 

 delightful ornaments: Cuttings do not make so fine 

 plants as seedlings, but are hardier. 



CitysuSy Spanish, must have a dry warm situa- 

 tion. 



Germander tree, is generally considered as a 

 green-house plant, yet some say it will endure or- 

 dinary winters abroad, with proper management. 

 Risk of experiment in these cases, or the trouble at- 

 tending, should not be minded, for if a shrub will 

 live and do well abroad, it is surely much better 

 there; and it has been found that things will do so, 

 which have been even used to be housed, even in 

 stoves. 



Groundsel tree, or ploughman's spikenard, must 

 have a snug situation abroad, as hard frosts are apt 

 to cut it ; and if it is potted and housed, it must 

 have a great deal of air, as it only needs protection 

 in severe weather. This is an argument for trying 

 all things abroad, of which there is a chance of doing 

 well, for they cannot have the air they require in a 

 green-house, where are so many plants of a tenderer 

 nature. 



Hares-ear is a handsome shrub for the south front 

 of a plantation ; somewhat tender. 



Honeysuckle* evergreen, allow it a sheltered situa- 

 tion, and let it be as much as possible in sight. 



Moon-trefoil is a very beautiful evergreen, flower- 

 ing from May to October ; but as it is tender, must 

 have a dry warm situation, and then a little attention 

 of cover in hard frosts may secure it
