When the plants have attained some growth, in the first kind, 

 they should be removed into separate small pots, filled with light, 

 fresh, fine mould, and replunged into the bark hot-bed, being after- 

 wards managed as other exotic plants of the tender kind. The 

 plants usually flower the second year, and then die. In the other 

 species aH the culture that is required after the plants appear is that 

 of thinning them properly, keeping them free from weeds, and 

 digging the ground about them in the early spring season. 



The third species must be increased by planting portions of the 

 creeping roots of the young plants in a dry gravelly soil in the au- 

 tumn, as soon as the stems decay. They grow the largest and most 

 fleshy in the root in such situations as are occasionally overflowed 

 by the sea- water. 



They afterwards only require the culture of being kept free from 

 weeds. 



They are all proper for being introduced in the borders or other 

 parts of pleasure-grounds for variety, except the first, which requires 

 the protection of the stove.
