This is propagated either by Suckers or Layers, which may be obtain’din great Plenty, for it generally produces a great Number of Shoots from the Bottom, which when they come out near the Ground, may be earthed up or laid down therein; and if they are water’d in dry Weather, will take Root in a fhort time: when they may be taken off, and tranfplanted where they are to remain. The beft Time to tranfplant them is in Ofober or February: They delight in a moift Soil, though they will grow in almoft any Soil or Situation.
