154 HYACINTHS, SUCCULENTS, AND EVERGREENS. 



THUJOPSIS. 



T. vorialis is a showy plant, not thoroughly hardy in 

 New England, though often surviving uninjured by the 

 winter. 



It is of a bright lively green, of elegant growth, and re- 

 sembles a cross between a cypress and an arbor vitse. 



PROPAGATION BY WINDOW CULTURE. 



A very easy way to get a stock of young evergreens, and 

 at the same time to have a pretty show in a window, is to 

 take off the tips of the shoots of such varieties as we wish 

 to increase, in November. 



Fill some long boxes which fit the window with pure 

 fresh white sand, level the surface, give a good watering, 

 and then plant the tips in close lines till the boxes are 

 filled. 



If we have the variegated kinds, the effect is very pretty. 



Keep the sand just wet, do not allow the plants to freeze, 

 but keep them cool ; give plenty of light but no hot sun. 



This little window-garden will be very attractive, and by 

 spring many of the cuttings will have good roots, when 

 they may be planted out. ^^-. _^
