PYRUS ТАРОКІСА.

This charming plant, now become so 
abundant, and certainly deserving to be 
found in every garden, was long known by 
Chinese drawings, also by the description 
of Thunberg, in his Flora Japonica, but 
was not introduced till about 1800. It is 
exceedingly hardy, as are most of the Japan 
plants, and it flowers at almost every season 
of the year, in mild winters continuing 
without any interruption, and thriving 
equally in all kinds of soils.. It may be in- 
creased by cuttings, layers, or roots. It 
usually forms a bush of a considerable size, 
and is truly a plant of extraordinary beauty. 
« All these things, constructed by the 
same wisdom, are subject to the dominion 
of One Alone. He rules them all: not as 
a soul of the world; but as the Lord and 
Master of the universe: and on account of 
His own proper dominion, He is called the 
Lord Almighty."
