 soil, and practically treated the same as

If grafted stock is ]n'ef erred instead of

 from the leaves. The Its. are also used in making Hun-

 if given well-drained soil and some winter protection. 

 Franceschi recommends it for hedges in S. Calif., espe- 

 cially for dry and rocky places near the coast.
