AMERICAN GARDEN. 



749 



lengths of 2 inches each, having an eye or bud. 

 A thin slice of the wood on the under side being 

 removed, the cutting is then set in the soil, 

 having the point only of its bud above the sur- 

 face. The buds are best planted in single pots, 

 plunged in a mild bottom-heat, when they will 

 root freely. 



Vitis, or American vine, of which there are 

 several species, is propagated by layers, cut- 

 tings, and buds, similar to the common grape- 

 vine. Climbing plants are best introduced into 

 the American garden trained to poles, and some- 

 times festooned between them — for covering 

 walls where they exist, trained over arches form- 

 ing arcades by the sides of main walks, or for 

 entirely covering berceaux or covered walks, &c.

 flora, revoluta, calyculata, mariana, speciosa, 

 polifolia and its varieties, coriacea, acuminata, 

 Catesbsei, racemosa, arborea, dealbata, axillaris, 

 cassinifolia, pulverulenta. Tetragona and hyp- 

 noides are rather rare, of very diminutive growth, 

 and fitted for growing on rock-work in a shel- 

 tered and rather shaded situation. 



SELECT LIST OF MAGNOLIAS. 



Glauca, with its varieties Thomsoniana, Gor- 

 doniana, and Burchelliana, requiring a damp 

 soil ; acuminata, maxima, cordata, longifolia, 

 auriculata, pyramidata, conspicua, Hammondii, 

 macrophylla, tripetala, obovata, perfectly hardy, 

 and fitted for single specimens on the lawn. 

 Grandiflora and its varieties are rather tender, 

 and for most of Britain requiring the protection 

 of a wall, which they richly deserve. 



SELECT LIST OF KALMIAS. 



Latifolia, angustifolia, of which there are eight 

 varieties in nursery collections ; glauca, cuneata, 

 rosmarinifolia, and hirsuta. 



SELECT LIST OF VACCINIUMS. 



Arctostaphyllos, Madeirense, the first a native 

 of Caucasus, and the second of Madeira, yet suf- 

 ficiently hardy to stand the open air in most 

 parts of Britain ; ovatum and tenellum, along 

 with Madeirense, worth cultivating for their 

 fruit; diffusum, attaining the size of a mode- 

 rate-sized tree, exceedingly ornamental when 

 planted as a standard on grass ; dumosum, 

 venustum, frondosum, stamineum album, ligus- 

 trinum, mucronatum, resinosum, corymbosum, 

 amoenum, marianum, grandiflorum, fuscatum, 

 salicinum, prunifolium. This much neglected 

 tribe of plants is exceedingly ornamental when 

 planted either in groups by themselves, or made 

 the foreground of larger masses.
