freely in different parts of France. Most of 

 the varieties, and the weaker species, may be 

 budded, and grafted, and inarched, on the 

 stronger growing more easily reared kinds. 

 Obovuta and accuminata are "much used for 

 this purpose. In most cases it requires a con- 

 siderable time to effect the union. In many 

 cases, where inarching is resorted to, two years 

 must elapse before the separation can be 

 effected safely. The tenderer Chinese and 

 Asiatic species require, in general, protection in 

 winter ; the former a cold pit or greenhouse, the 

 latter a wall, &c. They are propagated by 

 layers, and also by cuttings, as well as seeds. 

 The cuttings should be of ripe shoots, and in- 

 serted in sand under a glass. Many kinds, 

 however, will propagate by the herbaceous- 

 like young shoots, but more attention to shad- 

 ing, c., is required. All delight, when planted 

 out, in a deep sandy soil, quite dry, and en- 

 riched with peat, and a little leaf mould. 

 Glaucu, however, generally thrives best in a 

 peaty soil rather retentive of moisture.

Greenhouse evergreen shrubs, about two feet 

 high, from the Cape of Good Hope. Cuttings 

 of young shoots, an inch or two in length, in 

 sandy soil, under a glass any time in summer ; 

 tibry loam and sandy peat, with lumps of char- 

 coal and broken pots, intermixed when grown 

 in pots. In summer they will do in the flower 

 garden, and did the flowers look up a little 

 more, they would be very interesting; from 

 their habit they are seen to best advantage in 

 a pot.
