Jateorhiza 



( 455 ) 



fragrant. The common Jasmine or Jessamine is 

 one of the best loved of garden plants, and the 

 yellow winter-flowering nudillormu is almost as 

 great a favourite. 



Propagation. The hardy species by suckers, by 

 layers pegged down at any season, or by cuttings 

 in sandy soil under a hand-light. Stove or green- 

 house species by cuttings of young, firm growth, 

 taken off with a small heel of old wood attached, 

 and placed in sandy peat in a close case or under 

 a bell-glass in a warm pit. 



Soil. Any fertile garden soil, well drained, 

 suffices for the hardy sorts, but those! needing 

 warmth and protection succeed best in a mixture 

 of peat, loam, and sand. 



Other Cultural Points. Prim, close training is 

 objectionable in most plants, but particularly so 

 with Jasmines. If allowed free growth the hardy 

 climbing species are charming for covering porches, 

 arbours, pergolas, high fences, and verandah pillars. 

 Nudiflonim is splendid for pillars and house fronts. 

 Pruning must take the form of thinning out useless 

 growth. Samhac and its double form, as well as 

 gracillimum, need plenty of heat, and the latter 

 will stand rather close pruning after flowering. 



Insect Enemies. The stove species are special 

 favourites with mealy bug, but if preventive mea- 

 sures are taken the plants can easily be kept clean.

JUBJEA. 



A tall greenhouse Palm (urd. Palrna;) that is 

 raised from imported seeds and flourishes in sound 

 loam. The only species is spectabilis, which is

 specimen at Kew has a girth of about 13' at 4' from 

 the ground. The popular title of this species ia 

 Coquito Palm ; its fruits have occasionally been 

 sold in London as " Little Cokernuts."
