by which, obtained from America, the tree is propa¬ 
gated, alfo by layers of the branches, and cuttings of 
roots. 
The hardy Guilandina is, 
GntANDiNA i/w/w, Dioicous-flowered Guilandina, 
or Canada Bonduc. 
A middling 1 deciduoils tree, growing twenty or thirty 
feet high—the flem and branches without thorns;, 
leaves {large, dark-green) doubly--pinnated or winged, 
the bafe and apex lingly-pinnated; compofed of many 
ovate alternate folioles.—Native of Canada, in North 
America. {Light, dry, or any common foil.) 
This is a defirable ornamental tree to aflifl in com- 
pofing principal plantations in pleafure-grounds, and 
in beautifying fhrubberies, in aflemblage with other 
deciduous kinds; and in all of which lhould occupy a 
confpicuous fituation: is cultivated in moll of the nur- 
feries, where it may be procured for planting ; and is 
propagated by layers of the young branches, fome- 
times fuckers from the bottom, and by cuttings of the 
upper roots; as alfo by cutting fome of the remaining 
roots through in fpring, to promote their fending up 
fhoots, and then may be tranfplanted from the main 
roots in autumn; and is alfo railed by feed, fowed in 
the fpring months, and the plants tranfplanted in the 
nurfery; and when the young trees are raifed in the 
different methods, three or four, to five or fix feet, 
they are proper for the intended plantations.

THE Halesia furnilhes two fpecies of large deci¬ 
duous flowering-fn rubs, eligible to affemble in fhrubbe¬ 
ries, for ornament and variety: are of tall, upright 
growth, adorned in fummer with lanceolate and ovate 
Ample leaves; and campanulate or bell-fhape white 
flowers, in clullers, having each twelve llamina and one 
pidillum, fucceeded by oblong quadrangular and bian- 
gular nuts, containing Angle feeds; and by which the 
fhrubs are propagated, fowed in the fpring; likewife 
by layers.

Thefe two curious flowering-fhrubs are cultivated in 
pleafure-grounds, to adorn fhrubberies and other plan¬ 
tations ; and for which they may be had at the nurfe- 
ries, for planting in the proper feafons; and are raifed 
by feeds and layers: the feeds are generally obtained 
from America, by the feedfmen; fhould be fowed in- 
the fpring, in a fneltered bed, or border of light earth; 
or fome fowed in pots, in order for placing in a warm 
fituation till fummer, then removed to an eail or fhady 
border, and in winter placed under fhelter from froil; 
and the young feediing-plants tranfplanted in -a nur¬ 
fery, in 4 fie fpring; or may likewife pot fome fingly* 
for moving, to a place of flicker from froil, the firll 
winter or two, then planted in the full ground : layers 
of the young wood, in autumn or fpring, will root in. 
one year for planting off from the mother plants. 
When the fhrubs, raifed as above, are from two or 
three, to four or five feet growth, they are proper for 
the fhrubbery, &c.
