very elegant when in blossom, and wel adapted

divisions of the roots, cuttings, or seeds.

JASMINUM, Linnaeus derives the name from ia, a

elegant genus are familiar to ever y one. The stove
and greenhouse kinds thrive well in a mixture of
sand, loam, and peat ; and cuttings of the ripened
wood root freely in soil or sand, under a glass, in
heat. The hardy kinds thrive wel l in any common
soil, and are easily increased by cuttings planted
under a glass. They are remarkably well adapted
