HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. 248 HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS. 



as soon as the rooting and gradual harden 

 ing processes are completed. If in th< 

 autumn, they will be safer under sheltei 

 until the end of April. In either case 

 with liberal treatment, they may flower the 

 following summer. To induce autumn 

 struck cuttings to do this, however, they 

 must be potted off in rich soil as soon 

 rooted, shifted into separate pots, anc 

 receive the stimulus of a genial atmosphere 

 and shelter from the weather. All the 

 mints, galiums, and other plants with run- 

 ning or creeping roots, are so easily and 

 obviously increased as to require no instruc- 

 tions. 



All single-flowering herbaceous plants 

 may be increased readily by seed. This 

 may either be sown as soon as ripe, or after 

 September in pots. If sown in early 

 spring on beds of light soil, and the plants 

 carefully transplanted two or three times 

 during the summer, they may be trans- 

 ferred to their blooming quarters in 

 November : if they have been properly 

 treated, they will flower profusely the 

 following season.
