Excerpt from Illustrated Weekly Journal of Horticulture in All Its Branches, Vol. 25: Midsummer, 1884 Qf these little evergreen shrubs, and their exqui site lily-of-the-valley-like owers, would not wish to have them in their gardens 7 And why not, when they can be grown so easily. A. Tetragona never proved a stubborn grower with me in a boggy corner, where it had sandy peat or leaf mould and a little shade, but it did not ower so well under these conditions as in loam. Most amateurs to whom I have spoken about this shrub never seem to think of loam for it. It is as independent of heath soil as Erica carnea, and it spreads so freely that I intend making an edging of it, feeling sure that a three years' experience of the loam treatment has amply demonstrated its suitable ness for such a purpose. It likes plenty of mois ture, and as a rule edging plants get an extra share of that. Whilst on this point, I may men tion another method of treatment which I have followed from the time when I gave 2s. 6d. For my first tuft. The little rooted divisions I plunge in water to keep them fresh whilst trenches are being prepared in blackish soil for them. They are about 6 inches deep. Like miniature Celery trenches, replacing the bottom soil with some of the best therein. After dashing a little fine earth over the wet fibres, the small pieces are planted in the trenches a few inches apart, and the extra moisture which they get under such conditions seems to help them on wonderfully.
