Soil and Situation. A dry, moderately 

 fertile soil is best suited to their growth, 

 1 in a sheltered situation. 



Propagation. By Cut lings. These 

 ! may be either of the preceding or same 

 ' year's growth ; if of the first, plant in 

 ! April, but if of the latter, not until the 

 ! close of May or middle of June. The 

 | shoots of the same year are usually 

 I employed, as they more readily emit 

 ' roots, and assume a free growth. The 

 ! outward and most robust shoots should 

 ! be chosen, and cut from five to seven 

 i inches in length. All but the top 

 leaves being removed, insert by the 

 ! dibble almost down to these, in rows 

 six inches apart each way, in a shady 

 border, and during moist weather, 

 otherwise water must be given imme- 

 diately, and repeated occasionally, until 

 '' they have taken root. 



By Seed. Sow in April, in a bed of 



rich light earth, in drills a quarter-of- 



an- inch deep, and six inches apart. 



i When two or three inches high, thin
