Culture. — 'J'lic propagation in this plant is effected either by seed 

 or the roots. In the first mode the seed may be sown thick, in any 

 watery or boggy place, in the autumn, and left to nature. In the 

 second method the roots should be removed any time after flowering, 

 and such as admit of it, divided, planting (hem at once in the places 

 allotted them, where they flower annually for a great length of 

 time. 



These plants are very ornamental on the sides of waters, or in 

 soft boggy situations, in pleasure grounds.
