Cult. ; The hardy perennial’ species may be either increased 
by dividing at the roots or by seeds, but the latter mode is pre- 
ferable ; they will grow in any kind of soil, but those species 
used for culinary purposes should be grown in a rich light soil. 
he annual and biennial kinds only require to be sown in the 
pen ground. The shrubby green-house kinds may either be 
p creased by seeds or by cuttings, which should be planted under a 
and-glass. A mixtureof sand , loam, and peat, suits these last well.

by dividing the plants at the root or by seeds. The seeds of the 
annual kinds only require to be sown in the open ground.
