season, when the weather is mild. The divided parts should have 

 root-fibres left at the bottoms and a bud in each at the tops, in order 

 to their succeeding properly. 



In the sixth and seventh sorts, the seeds should be sown in pots 

 of light mould in the early spring and plunged in a mild hot-bed. 

 When the plants have had a little growth they should be pricked out 

 into separate small pots, proper shade and water being given; being 

 afterwards managed as the shrubby exotics of less tender plants. 



They may likewise be raised from cuttings made in the later 

 spring or summer months, which should be placed in pots of light 

 mould and plunged in the hot-bed, due shade and water being given 

 till they have stricken root. 



And the two last sorts may be raised from seeds or cuttings in 

 the same way, by the aid of the bark hot-bed of the stove. 



The first and the other herbaceous sorts are curious ornamental 

 plants in the borders, clumps, and other parts of pleasure-grounds, 

 and the four best shrubby sorts in the green-house and stove 

 collections.
