No. 1800. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM. 
Cin Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This exquisitely fragrant and beautiful 
plant is a native of Switzerland, Austria, 
and other parts of Europe, on mountains. 
It is said to have been cultivated in 1739. 
It is perfectly hardy, and flowers in April 
and May: it may be increased by layers, 
and also by grafting upon the Mezereon or 
the Wood Laurel. The soil should be loam 
and peat. Admirers of these charming 
plants may easily enjoy their sweetness for 
several months by giving some of them a 
little gentle stove heat from January in 
succession till the natural season, for they 
will bear forcing extremely well.
