The variety now before us, which may 
truly be said to yield to very few in beauty, 
was first introduced from China, into the 
Royal garden at Kew. Cuttings of it were 
kindly presented to us by Mr. Aiton, in the 
Year 1811, at which time it was extremely 
rare.

the other kinds ; the leaves are also less, and 
it is more tender and difficult to increase. 
This is usually performed by — or

give it warmth in the spring, that it may - 
growth i 
leaves in winter.
