GLOBULARIA. 155 



cuttings, which should be taken in April, just before 

 it begins to make new shoots. They are usually put 

 into a hot-bed until they have taken root; but, if kept in 

 the house, they will strike very well without. When rooted, 

 they should be inured by degrees to the open air; but 

 must be housed again towards winter, admitting fresh air 

 when not frosty. 



The Common Griobularia, Globe-daisy, or Blue-daisy, is 

 a native of most other parts of Europe, but not of Eng- 

 land: it is called in France, la houlette. In Gerarde's, 

 and even in Parkinson's time, it was rarely seen in our 

 gardens. The flower is a beautiful blue, and appears in 

 May and June, This species, the Prickly-leaved, the 

 Wedge-leaved, and the Naked-stalked, may be increased 

 by parting the roots in the September of every second 

 year. They like a moist loamy earth, and will bear the 

 open air. 



The Long-leaved Globularia, and the Oriental, may be 

 increased in the same manner, but in other respects must 

 be treated like the first. They all agree in liking the 

 shade, and a frequent supply of water, but they must not 

 have much at a time. All the kinds have blue flowers.
