these may be, in small number at any rate, in a win- 

 dow during winter. When the spring ccmes, cut 

 them up into cuttings, put these in the ground where 

 you wish to have plants during the summer. They 

 will be in bloom by July, and, before October, will 

 be large as a currant tree. Take off cuttings from 

 these during September, put them in pots, and they 

 are ready for the next spring. If you have a Green- 

 house, you have Geraniums in full bloom all the 

 long dreary winter.

 Snow-ball tree. It is raised either from layers or 

 suckers. Its bloom is of short duration ; but, for

 the ground ; but, it must not come up, in this coun 

 try, till spring. 



"353. HEATH. The common English heath is 

 hardy, but ugly. The Heaths from Africa are of 

 infinite variety. Insignificant in flower, however 

 and must be housed in Winter. They are propa- 

 gated from seed, or from slips, and will last a long 

 while. A few in a green-house are pretty ; and they 

 look gay in winter. 



354. HOLLYHOCK. This is a fine showy 

 plant for a shubbery. There are double and single, 

 and none but the double should be cultivated. It 

 may be raised from seed, or from offsets. If the
