easily propagated by layers, in spring, of the previous year's wood, with an incision 
made on the upper side of the branch. They will also grow from cuttings of the 
young wood planted under a handglass 
The Chimonanlhus fragrans and grandiflora, are both very handsome and 
delightfully fragrant. They thrive well in any light rich soil, or a mixture of peat 
and loam. They easily increase by layers; and cuttings of the young wood will 
also grow if planted in pots of sand, and plunged in a hotbed. If the weather be 
severe, and the situation in which the plants grow rather exposed, it will be well 
to shelter the early flowers, by sticking a few evergreen branches in different parts 
of the plants. 
The species of Atragene, are fine showy plants to train over verandahs, and 
arbours in wood scenery. They love light rich soil, and are easily increased by 
layers and seeds, sometimes by cuttings of the young and tender shoots. 
The Corchorus Japonicus is very easy of culture, will grow in any soil ; but 
from the nakedness of the stem, it never covers either a wall or trellis well, but is 
best planted amongst roses, &c, where its branches may be hid with those of the 
roses. It is increased either by layers or cuttings. 
All the Loniceras recommended, will grow well in any common garden soil, 
and are readily increased by cuttings taken off in August or September, and planted 
under a handglass on an eastern sheltered border. 
The Magnolias require a mixture of loam and peat, being a little tender. A 
south wall is the most proper place for them. They grow freely by layers put 
down in the spring. When the young layers are separated, they should be potted 
in forty-eight-sized pots, and be placed in a frame, until they have begun to grow. 
The different kinds of evergreen roses will require light rich soil, and may be 
increased by cuttings. May is the best month for putting them in, but they will 
grow if put in, and judiciously treated, any time of the year. Plant them in leaf 
mould and light loam, and place a handglass over them. If planted in spring, let 
them be put in on a north border ; but all the cuttings planted after the end of 
June, may be planted on a south or south-east border. For other particulars, see on 
the " Culture of Roses," vol. i. page 138. 
The Clematis viornia, &c, &c, require the same treatment as that recom- 
mended for atragene, and are propagated in the same manner. 
The ConffiA scandens should be planted in a warm situation, as it is properly 
a greenhouse plant, but will do very well out of doors. A light rich soil suits it 
very well, and it may be increased readily by cuttings planted in pots, and plunged 
in a hotbed frame. Also by seeds, which are produced plentifully. It grows very 
rapidly, and being evergreen will soon cover an unsightly object. 
The Colutea frutescens will grow well in any common garden soil ,* its 
orange flowers make a very pretty show in June, and it continues flowering more or 
less till late in the autumn. The best way of propagation is by seeds, which are 
plentifully produced in bladders. 
The different species of jasmines usually trained against walls, verandahs, &c, 
may be planted in almost any situations, and almost any soil that is light ; but they
