ENCYCLOPEDIA OF GARDENING. 
nually with decayed manure in autumn. Prune shoots close to soil 
in autumn. Dwarf species best grown on sunny rockeries. Propagate 
by seeds sown in sandy soil in cold frame in spring in case of hardy 
kinds, or in heat in spring in case of seer species. Greenhouse 
species also by cuttings inserted in sandy soil in temp. of 75° in spring ; 
hardy climbers by grafting on roots of C. viticella or vitalba in heat in 
spring, also by layering shoots in summer; herbaceous kinds by divi- 
sion in autumn or cuttings of young shoots in frame in summer.
