The Saxifrage is propagated by cuttings and offsets, which the 

 roots produce abundantly. Take the offsets and plant them out 

 in August. The double white saxifrage is a beautiful flower, and 

 blooms- early in the spring. The pyramidal saxifrage is a very 

 handsome decorative flower, but it must be planted in little clumps 

 to make a showy appearance. 



October is the busy month for transplanting and removing the 

 offsets of all perennial and biennial plants. In this month every 

 flower of summer has passed away, and the garden is free to 

 receive all new arrangements in its future dispositions. Golden 

 rod, Michaelmas daisies, everlasting sun-flower, and other branch- 

 ing plants, will require taking up every four years, to part the 

 main root into separate plants, and replace them in the ground 

 again. Peonies, lilies of the valley, fraxinellas, monk's-hood, flag- 

 leaved irises, &c., must be increased or removed when required. 

 All this is most effectually done in October. 



In the same month, finish all that is to be effected among the 

 perennial tribe. Campanulas, lychnises, polyanthuses, violets, 

 aconites, cyclamens, gentianella, yellow gentian, double daisies,
