 Ornamental plants. The stove species will 

 grow in loam and peat ; and ripened cuttings 

 root in sand, under a glass, in heat. The 

 hardy kinds are well adapted for shrubberies ; 

 they will grow in any soil, but thrive best in 

 peat, and, are easily increased by layers, or by 

 seeds, which do not vegetate till the second 

 year. Synonymes : 1, Ilex prinoiden ; 2, /.

 under a glass, will root freely : they are also 

 easily increased by seeds. The species are 

 showy when in flower. Synonymes: 1, Tra-
