How to manage a Garden 



Division. 



There is yet another form of increase of stock which 

 merits a few words, and that is division. There is no need 

 for any lengthy survey of the benefits accruing from this 

 form of reproduction, nor will many remarks be needed to 

 show how it is done. Sometimes the plant is taken and 

 torn asunder, in other cases it is cut up with a spade or a 

 knife. There are many classes of plants which lend them- 

 selves to this treatment, and whether they prefer to be cut 

 or torn asunder must be learnt from the venerable school 

 of practice. There are also other methods of propagation 

 and increase which need not be detailed here.
