japonicus are fairly hardy on walls. Loam and peat 

 make a good compost for them and they are propagated 

 by cuttings in spring — half-ripened wood being used. 

 The Phillyreas and Photinia are ornamental evergreens, 

 which are rather tender and like a rather light loam. 

 Both are increased by cuttings or by grafting ; the 

 former on the Privet, and the other on the common 

 Quince.
