duced in 1597, and flowers in May and June. It 

 grows in any common soil; and is readily propagated 

 by cuttings or layers. When 

 raised from seeds, the berries 

 should be prepared in the 

 rot-heap, like haws.

 (Don's Mill., iv. p. 45.) A shrub, from 10 ft. to 

 15ft. high; a native of the south of Europe. It 

 was introduced in 1597, and flowers in May and 

 June. The culture of this is similar to that of 

 the preceding and following sorts. For exposed 

 situations, in the central and southern districts 

 of England, few shrubs are better adapted than 

 this kind of phillyrea. It grows slowly and re- 

 gularly on every side; and in the course of a 

 dozen years forms a dense evergreen bush, of some- 

 what hemispherical shape, having naturally more 

 of a garden esque character than belongs to any 

 other species or variety of the genus. This sort, and P. angustifolia, are 

 those most commonly to be met with in British nurseries.
