Ppopagatiox. — They strike freely from cuttings, 

 which ought to be struck early in summer, and 

 kept in small pots during winter in the greenhouse. 

 Early in spring pot them into large pots, and fix 

 the trellises in them ; remove the plants so pot- 

 ted into the flower-house, or put them into an early 

 forcing vinery : pot others in May to come in suc- 

 cession. 



Soil. — They delight in equal quantities of dung 

 and loam. 



Water. — Give but little water during winter, 

 but when in a vigorous growing state give an 

 abundance, and, when well established in the large 

 pots, water with dung water once a week. 



DAPHNE ODORA. 



Class, Octaxdria. Order, Moxogyxia. 



Thymelje.e. 



Native of China, 1771. — Propagation, cuttings. 



This delightfully scented flowering shrub, if kept 

 in the greenhouse during the summer months, will 

 blossom in abundance this month. Shift it in April 

 into larger pots ; reduce the ball a little, and set 

 the matted roots at liberty. 



Soil, the same as for the Camellia.
