THE " HARD-WOODED " DEPARTMENT 5 



The open-ground cuttings, such as ribes, laurel, privet, golden 

 elder and others, are made in October and inserted with nearly the 

 whole of their length covered in, and these, too, stand a year, when 

 they are lifted and passed to the outdoor department. Their after 

 cultivation no longer concerns the indoor part of the " hardwood " 

 department, which is mostly concerned with the first year's life of 

 its stock.
