 These are very elegant and rather slender 

 species, quite hardy enough to stand out if 

 planted in dry situations or on rook-work, 

 provided they are protected during winter 

 from wet and most severe frosts. They thrive 

 best in loamy soil mixed with a little sandy 

 peat, and may be increased by seeds or cuttings 

 of the young shoots. Synonyme : 1, IncanM- 

 lea Ernbdi.

 Linn. 12, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Drupacem. The tall 

 and coarse portion of these ornamental early- 

 flowering plants may be advantageously dis- 

 posed of in large plantations, and the dwarf 

 kinds in small shrubberies at the front of the 

 large ones. The common way of increasing 

 them is by budding on the plum stock, or on 

 the bitter almond. Rich mould is a proper 

 medium for them. They are most valued for 

 producing their showy pink blossoms early 

 in the season, sooner than almost any other 

 shrubs. Synonymies: 1, Primus prostrata ; 2, 

 P. sinensis. See Pirsica.
