cause the seeds to decay, especially if somewhat old. 
Many plants are easily propagated by division. Bulbous- 
rooted plants are more particularly apt to be increased in that

Wardian Glass Case for Propagation and for Tender Plants. 
The reader is asked to study carefully the illustrations to this 
chapter on Plate IV., and to note all reference to the propaga- 
tion of each variety in the articles on plants. It is, however, 
not advisable to attempt too much, it being wiser to grow plants 
already on hand into fine specimens than to try propagation. 
Young plants of all leading varieties are generally cheap, and if 
propagation is attempted it should be done more for the pleas- 
ure of the thing than for any other consideration.
