to be had to cuttings, which alfo are not certain in 

 (hiking root. In June, or July, take cuttings from 

 the fide Pnoots, (without flower) and let the pieces 

 planted have three, or at the moil tour eyes. Put 

 them into a good foil, fine and rich, but not dungy, 

 as deep as halfway between the fecond and thirdjoint, 

 in an eajft border : and keep them cool, but not wet.
