JASMINES. 
Jasmines grow in very irregular forms. Perhaps their luxuri¬ 
ant wild appearance constitutes their chief grace. The jasmine 
is a beautiful screen in summer, wreathing its festoons through 
trellis-work; and it appears to me that Nature presents not, in 
our colder climes, a more fragrant and beautiful bouquet than a 
mixture of roses and jasmines. 
The common jasmine is hardy, and loves a good soil, by which 
term I mean kitchen garden soil. Trench round the stem occa¬ 
sionally to lighten the earth, and it will grow very freely. Put 
litter round the jasmine in severe frost; and if a very rigorous 
season destroy the branches, the root will be saved, and its shoots 
in the spring will soon replace the loss. If they shoot out with 
displeasing irregularity and confusion, take off the least healthy 
looking branches, and cut away those which grow rumpled , for 
they only consume the juices of the plant to no purpose. The 
common jasmine is propagated by layers and slips.
