Seed-s in spring, in shallow pans, in sandy 

 peat, and kept in a close, cool frame until the 

 seedlings are fit to be handled, when they should 

 be pricked off into similar soil, and gradually ex- 

 posed to sun and air ; layers, either in spring or 

 autumn ; cuttings of young shoots, when the base 

 close to the older wood is getting firm, inserted in 

 silver sand, and placed, at first, in a cold frame, 

 and afterwards in a little bottom-heat ; sandy 

 peat is the best; sandy, fibry loam and clayey 

 loam the next ; kitchen-garden soil, and soil of 

 any kind containing or resting upon calcareous 

 matter, the worst. The varieties of the arbo'reum, 

 campanula,' turn, &c., require a little protection to 

 have them in their beauty.
