When the new ^' Ijas been tiuisheil they may be put in the open air until trust is threatening. During the winter they should be kept in a cool greenhouse with plenty of light and carefully and moderately watered. From January they may be transferred gradually in a warmer house for forcing. CYTISUS 441. 655. Cytisus Can; Cuttings started in early spring, transplanted several times and then gradually hardened off, can be grown into flowering specimens for the following spring. Prop, by seeds sown in spring and by greenwood cuttings under glass; they are also sometimes increased by layers or by grafting. As stock C. nigricans is much used, or La- burnum vulgare for small standard trees ; for plants grown in the greenhouse or south, C. Canariensin is a good stock. Alfred Rehder. Of Cytisus, the young growths root readily in Decem- ber and January in the ordinary way. They should be shifted on as they grow. Good sized plants can be pro- duced if shifting and pinching is not neglected. By the following winter, the winter-propagated plants should be in 5-in. pots, in which size they are most useful. Keep very cool during winter and withhold any forcing. They flower in March, or, if kept at a night temperature of 45°, as late as April. Syringe at all times to prevent red spider. To produce good sized plants in one year, it is best to keep them plunged on a bench under the glass the entire summer, with little shade. Older plants
