The common arbutus will grow to the height of 20 or 30 feet; but, unless pruned to a single stem, it assumes more the character of a huge bush than that of a regular-headed tree. The rate of growth, when young and properly treated, will average 1 ft. a year for the first 10 years; and the plant is of considerable durability. It will thrive in any tolerably free soil; though it seems to grow fastest, and attain the largest size, in deep sandy loam. It will grow either in open or sheltered situations, but does not thrive under the shade of trees. The species is readily propagated by seeds, which should be sown, as soon as they are separated from the pulp of the fruit, in pots of light, rich, sandy soil, or heath mould, and then placed in the shade, where they can be protected from the frost and the sun. Plants raised from seed do not ge- nerally flower till 5 or 6 years old. The double and the scarlet-flowered, and all the other varieties, are propagated by -v:^^^ /^ layers, by grafting, or by cuttings of the 'iS«s^ -t i.*. wood in a growing state, taken off in July, and treated like cuttings of heath. 1 • 2.
