Likewife by layers of the young Ihoots the Coro- 
nillas are, occafionally, propagated, or more gene¬ 
rally the Scorpion Sena, laying the tender Ihoots in 
the fpring, and they will be rooted to plant off in au¬ 
tumn or lpring following, and managed as the feed- 
lings. 
When defigned to plant thefe Coronilla fnrubs, it 
may be proper to remark, that as they generally run 
•with long, naked tap-roots, efpecially, the Scorpion 
Sena, it is advifeable to tranfplant them finally into 
the fhrubbery, or where intended, while they are of 
but moderate growth, in which, the roots being fmal- 
ler and more fibroufy, they will fooner root effe&ually 
than large plants of this kind; and as to future cul¬ 
ture, it is die fame as intimated for other flowering- 
Ihrubs.
