 warm water ; cuttings of half-ripened shoots in sand, in

 sport from seeds, and, therefore, may be expected to 

 yield double flowers some day. Hardy herbaceous plants, 

 with the exception of corona'ta and amblyodon, which 

 require a cold pit in winter. In cold, damp situations, 

 cuttings of bi'color and pi' eta may also be saved in a 

 similar manner. Cuttings under a hand-light in summer, 

 and division of the root in spring ; sandy loam.
