As fome forts multiply rather fparingly by 

 off-fets, fuch as double hepatica, cyclamen,

 ferved accordingly. 



By parting the roots, vaft numbers of the 

 perennial tribe are propagated, both of the 

 fibrous and flefh-rooted kinds, when the roots

 as many different flips, larger or fmaller, as 

 they admit or is required, oi may be effedled
