which are set in the open ground as soon as the spring be-

Seeds. Increased by cuttings, which root freely in a gentle 

 bottom heat, in early spring. 



Leontice. Berberidece. 



May be increased by seeds or by suckers. 

 Leontopodium (Edelweiss, Lion's Foot). Composite?. 



May annually be raised from seeds, or the old plants may

Propagation by seeds, or by divisions in spring. 

 Lettuce (Lacluca saliva], Composiice. 



Seeds, which may be sown under glass or in the open. In
