 and inserted in sand, under a bell-glass; peat, 

 three parts ; fibry loam, one part; sand and char- 

 coal, one-half part each. Summer temp., 55 to

Hardy plants. Annuals by seed sown in the 

 border, in April, or in a slight hotbed, at the end of 

 March, and transplanted ; perennial herbaceous 

 species by seed and division of roots, in autumn 

 or spring; the garden-varieties of Sine'nse by 

 divisions and cuttings, in March and April, giving 

 them light, rich soil ; and to do these full justice, 

 planting them against a wall, or blooming them 

 under glass, giving plenty of manure-water after 

 the bloom-buds appear. The shrubby kinds are 

 increased by cuttings and divisions, and require a 

 little aid in winter, in a frame, cold pit, or cool 

 greenhouse.
