some and very ornaniental timber trees, particularly
F. sylvática^ which is one of the
handsomest and best adapted of trees for phinting
singly in parks or lawns. The beech tree
thrives best in a chalky chiy or loamy soil,
preferring a sheltered situation. They may
all be increased by seed, biidding, or grafting.
The timber is brittle, but much used by turners,
joiners, and millwrights. Synonymes : 1,

This shrub is well deserving of culture on account
of its sweet-scented flowers, which are
about the si;5e of tlnise of the jasmine. It
succeeds well in a mixture of turfy loam, peat,

cuttings planted in sand, under a glass, in a
moist heat. The plants require plenty of pot

should be kept quite dry. As soon as they
begin to grow they should receive a fresh, potting,

in a warm border, in sandy soil, the bulbs
should be planted about six inches deep, and
protected from severe weather j they are increased
by offsets, or seeds. Synonyme: 1,
