 is an excellent genus of hardy evergreen shrubs ; 

 B. balearicus does much better however when 

 it is slightly protected in severe weather. They 

 thrive in most situations ; and are propagated 

 by suckers, or layers, without difficulty. The 

 timber is very hard and smooth, and not apt 

 to warp ; it is used by the turner, engraver, 

 mathematical instrument maker, comb, pipe, 

 and flute maker, and the roots by the inlayer 

 and cabinet-maker. "Wheels, skewers, pins, 

 pegs for musical instruments, nut-crackers, 

 button - moulds, weavers' shuttles, holler- 

 sticks, bump-sticks, rollers, rolling-pins, tops, 

 screws, spoons, knife-handles, combs, &c, are 

 all made of it, as well as many other useful 

 articles.
