and S, japónica are two of the most
handsome species, and well adapted for growing
singly on lawns. When young, they require
a slight protection in winter.' They arc
sometimes iucreased by layers, but generally
by seeds. The stove and greenliouse kinds
thrive well in alight loamy soil ; and cuttings
will root, if planted in sand, under a glass.
The hardy herbaceous kinds are increased by
dividing the roots in spring. Synomjme : 1,
