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, ia 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 can be plunged out of doors during July, August and September. William Scott.
