necessary to retain. If you select three | 

 of the best placed, these will be enough I 

 for a plant so young, therefore, instead j 

 of two flower-heads we have only one j 

 of them, and three others coming \\p \ 

 to flower next season. As soon as the | 

 single truss of flowers begins to fade, j 

 about the middle of August, this flower- j 

 ing shoot must be cut down close like- j 

 wise, and from it succession shoots will j 

 be obtained, so that in a large old 

 specimen there are many flowering 

 shoots and succession ones growing on 

 at the same time ; and, as soon as the 

 plants are done flowering, the shoots 

 which have borne the flowers are cut 

 back to different lengths according to 

 the size or shape the plant is intended 

 to be grown. 



Every morsel of the old shoots cut 

 off in August will make cntl'tnys, but 

 the best cuttings are obtained from the 

 top ends of young vigorous shoots ; 

 they will root either in heat or cold, at 

 any time. Abundance of air, strong 

 sunlight, and plenty of water during 

 their two months of active growth, but 

 little during the rerst of the summer 

 and autumn, and scarcely any in winter, 

 are the leading principles in their 

 culture. 



CRATJE'GUS. The Hawthorn. (From 

 kratos, strength ; in reference to the 

 strength and hardness of the wood. 

 Nat. ord., Appleworts [Pomacea?]. 

 Linn., 12-Icosatnh-ia S-Di-pentagynia). 



The family of thorns furnishes a greater num- 

 ber of handsome small trees for ornamental 

 grounds than any other woody family whatever. 

 They are all white-blossomed, except where 

 we have mentioned otherwise ; but they vary in 

 another beauty the colour of their fruit ; and 

 this, as far as we know, we have particularized. 

 Young plants are obtained from seed sown in 

 spring ; and any particular varieties can be 

 budded or grafted upon one of the most useful, 

 the common whitethorn. Common garden soil.
