Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Cistaceas. This is a beau- 
tiful genus of plants, varying in height from one to 
four feet ; they are considered hardy, but there are 
some of them that require protection in winter, 
either in a greenhouse or cold frame, but most of 
the species will pass the winter in the open air, if 
the weather be not very severe ; hut it is the best 
plan to keep some of all the sorts in pots, that they 
may he more easily protected from severe weather, 
when they may he turned out in the borders in 
spring, where they will flower freely. They do 
well in common sou, and are increased by layers, or 
ripened cuttings placed under a glass, or seeds.
