'I'hefe plants are all of them hardy, and may be pro- 

 pagated by feeds or offsets, the latter being the more 

 expeditious way is generally praftifcd. Tiie roots may 

 be tranlplanted. after the leaves are decayed, but, it 

 they are removed after they have put out new fibres, 

 they rarely jucceed, at leaft they will not flower the 

 following fpring ; they may be treated in every refpecl 

 like the ordinary kinds of Hyacinths. 

 If they are propagated by feeds, they fliould be fown 

 in autumn foon after they are ripe, either in fliallow 

 boxes or pan.s in the fame manner as has been before 

 direded for Hyacinths, to which the reader is defired 

 to turn, to avoid repetition.
