Half-hardy evergreen. Seeds, under a glass, 

 in spring ; cuttings, under a glass, in summer ; 

 common sandy soil ; requires the protection of 

 a pit, in most places, in winter ; may be treated

EUO'NYMUS. The Spindle Tree. 

 (From eu, good, and onoma, a name; 

 literally of good repute. Nat. ord., 

 Spindle-trees [Celastracete]. Linn., 5- 

 Pentandria 1 - Monogynia. ) 



Interesting trees and shrubs in autumn, their 

 opening capsules looking very beautiful when 

 other things are losing their attractions. Seeds 

 may be sown either in autumn or spring ; cut- 

 tings of ripe young shoots may be planted in a 

 border in autumn ; common soil. The Ame- 

 rican species require a moist situation. Those 

 from Nepaul, though from a high altitude, have 

 not been proved quite hardy, though it is pre- 

 sumed they would in many places ; protect 

 them in winter.
