LIST OF SHRUBS. 



259 



Propagated by suckers or by dividing the roots in the autumn, 

 and any soil suits it. Its powerful odour is disliked by many, 

 but there are few shrubberies in which it has not a place. 



410. TAMARISK, French.— L2it. Tamarix Gallica. A 

 hardy shrub of the south of France, which grows to the height of 

 twelve feet, and blows a purplish white flower from May to 

 October. Propagated by cuttings made in February and put into 

 rich and moist earth, but they must not be transplanted until the 

 end of the following year or the spring after that. Likes a 

 moist and warm situation. 



411. TREFOIL, Shruhhy.—L^t. Ptelea trifoliata, A shrub 

 from North of America, from four to six feet high, and blows, in 

 May and June, a greenish yellow flower. Propagated by seed, 

 cuttings, and suckers. As hard frosts injure it when very young, 

 it should be put in a sheltered situation. 



412. THORN, evergreen. — Lat. Mespilus pyracantha. A 

 shrub from the south of Europe. The flower is white, slightly 

 tinged with rose, and it blows in May and June. Propagated by 

 seed, grafts, and layers. There are two more sorts, the double 

 and the rose-coloured, which are more rare. 



413. THUJA, the Chinese. — Lat. Thuja Orientalis. An ever- 

 green tree, originally from China, about thirty feet high. Blows in 

 March and April. Fit for pleasure-grounds of considerable size, 

 and shrubberies. Propagate from seed, and by layers. — Thuja, 

 the American. — Lat. Thuja occidentalis . A tree belonging to 

 Canada, very much like the preceding one, and blows in February 

 and March. Propagated by seed sown in a warm place, in good 

 light earth. In about two years they should be transplanted at 

 about two feet apart, and toward the fourth year may be put 

 where they are to remain. They are also propagated by layers. 

 Not at all particular as to soil. 



414. TRUMPET-FLOWER, ash-leaved, ov climbing. ~L?it. 

 Bignonia radicans. A hardy climber of North America, which 

 grows to thirty feet high, and blows a most beautiful scarlet 

 flower in July and August. Propagated by layers or by suckers, 

 or from the seed, and, whilst the plant is young, the root should 

 be covered with straw during the frost. Common garden soil. 



415. TVlAV-T^EE.—L^Lt.Liriodendrumtulipifera. This, in 

 fact, in its native country, is an immense timber-tree ; and, in Eng- 

 land, where it is raised generally from layers, it is frequently seen at
