84 GREENHOUSE REPOTTING. [MARCH. 



a free and early flowering shrub. C. vakntiana and C. 

 vimindlis are equally so, flower from April to June, co- 

 lour yellow ; papilionaceous flowers in clusters ; agree 

 best with shade. In summer they ought to be kept 

 behind a fence, or under a tree, as the sun would de- 

 stroy them in a few weeks. Drain the pots well. 



Corrects, five species, all very pretty dwarf shrubs, 

 and flower profusely ; foliage ovate, cordate, and 

 either rusty or downy beneath. C. alba and C. rufa 

 have both white flowers a little tubular. C.pulchella is 

 a very handsome erect growing plant, flowers large 

 and tubular, of a deep pink colour, and grows freely : 

 it is thought the finest of the genus. C. speciosa has 

 been long admired as a splendid free flowering plant ; 

 flowers same shape as C. pulchella, but not so large ; 

 colour red and yellowish green. C. virens is a very free 

 grower, flowers same shape as the two last, colour en- 

 tirely green. These three last mentioned are abundant 

 flowerers, having a continued succession from No- 

 vember to June, possessing the valuable requisite of 

 flowering through the winter, and ought to fce in every 

 collection. They require an airy situation, and the 

 pots to be well drained. The plants in summer must 

 not be fully exposed to the sun. 



Cratagus. There are none of these belonging to the 

 Green-house ; but there is a plant in the collections, 

 known as C. glabra, which is Photinia senulata, a native 

 of China, and is a very handsome plant, has long foliage, 

 deeply serrated, very shining. P. arbutifolia, a native of 

 California, and is the finest of the genus ; flowers in 

 large dense panicles, foliage larger than the former, and
