Cult. The green-house kinds of this genus thrive well in a 
mixture of sandy loam and peat ; and young cuttings strike root 
readily in the same kind of soil, under a hand-glass, or they may 
be raised from seeds, which sometimes ripen in abundance. 
` The hardy perennial kinds are well adapted for rock-work or 
for the front of flower-borders ; or they may be grown in small 
pots, in a mixture of loam and peat, and placed among other al- 
pine plants, so as to be protected by a frame during severe wea- 
ther ; they are readily increased by seeds, or by cuttings planted 
under a hand-glass. The biennial species are also well adapted 
for rock-work, or the front of flower-borders ; they should be 
sown where they are intended to remain, or they may be trans- 
planted.

Cult. These plants will grow freely if sown in the open bor- 
der as other hardy annuals. The striped variety of K. maritima 
should be kept as a green-house shrub, and it should be increased 
by cuttings, which strike root readily if planted under a hand- 
glass. :
