season. I have layered them in two ways : one is 

 to take up the plants in August, plant them in 

 flower-pots, and layer them into the pots ; the 

 other, and I fancy the better, way is to layer them 

 where they flower: in that case the ground will 

 not be available for any other purpose until after 

 the young plants are removed in October. If the 

 ground is wanted in August, or before the layers 

 have formed roots, it will be necessary to pot the 

 plants up before layering.
