Gardening. CYTISUS After repotting they are kept close and often syringed until they are established; then they ought to have plenty of air and only slight shade. When the new growth has been finished they may be put in the open air until frost 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.

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. Index: albus, 2 ; Andre
