seed freely and are readily raised, it is in the power of any 

 one to procure a supply of plants sufficient for his wants. 



The seeds lie some time in the ground before they 

 germinate, so that it is better to sow them thinly in pans of 

 earth, whence they can be transplanted after having grown 

 a few inches high. 



Professor Koch says, that he has raised D. alpinum of 

 W. &f Kit., D. montanum, palmatifidum and hybridum of 

 DeCandolle, D. cuneatum of Steven, D, urceolatum of Jacquin, 

 D. Clusianum of Host, and innumerable others, from the 

 seeds of one and the same species ; a fact about which I have 

 no doubt.
