dry soil, it will be much assisted in its growth by 

 rut lino- out some of the old wood and occasionally 

 tivntiiig it to a little liquid manure. It will strike 

 readily from cuttings. There are two forms of this 

 variety, both of which flower in June : 



JDeutzia crenata candidissima plena, pure white. 



DcutrJa crenatapurpurea plena (Pride of Rochester) 

 having the outside of the blooms tinged with purple. 



T^eutzia Fortunei

Deutzia gracilis 



Is about 3 ft. high, and perfectly hardy if in a 

 light, dry soil in a sheltered position. At Hatfield 

 a hedge of it is to be seen, and a lovely one it makes 

 too in May, with its masses of pure white blossoms. 

 It is best propagated by striking cuttings of the young 

 wood in a hotbed in Spring, and the flowering will be 

 greatly assisted by giving the plants a dose of liquid 

 manure at the end of April or beginning of May.
