Pavonia 



PAULO WNIA. 



Description. A handsome Japanese deciduous 

 tree (nrd. Scrophularinese), not perfectly hardy in 

 cold districts. It grows rapidly, and is valuable 

 for its splendid foliage. 



Propagation. By cuttings of young shoots 

 getting n'rui at the base, in sandy soil, beneath a 

 hand-light. 



Soil. Deep, mellow loam. 



Other Cultural Points. An excellent use of this 

 plant has been made at Kew, where one of the 

 largest beds is devoted to it. The growths are cut 



Soil, equal parts of fibrous peat and loam, with 

 coarse sand.

right down each spring, and the shoots that push 

 from the basal buds are reduced to one on each 

 plant. The result is a strong, erect growth rising 

 10' high and furnished with huge and handsome 

 teaves, producing a striking effect. Each plant is 

 given just room to properly develop. Heavy 

 dressings of cow manure are given, and in the 

 heat of summer copious waterings are afforded. 

 Under this treatment it is necessary to renew the 

 beds every seven or eight years, the culture being 

 so exhausting.
