The annual, by seed in the open, dry border, 

 towards the end of March ; the shrubby kinds, by- 

 cuttings under a bell-glass, in April ; or under a 

 hand-light in a shady place, in summer. Sandy, 

 fibry loam, and a little leaf-mould ; when planted 

 out of doors, young plants must be reared for 

 saving through the winter in a cold pit or green- 

 house. There are many other species besides the- 

 following ; but they are mere weeds.

 Polyadelphia Z-Polyandria.) 



All yellow-flowered, except where otherwise 

 mentioned. The hardier ones flourish in common 

 and sandy loam, and the more tender in loam and" 

 peat. Annuals, sow in the open border, in March ; 

 herbaceous, sow, and divide the plants in spring ; 

 shrubs are easily divided, as they stole freely, and 

 also by seeds ; greenhouse and frame kinds, by 

 divisions, but chiefly by cuttings of young shoots 

 in sand, under glass ; most of them, if protected 

 in winter, would grow against a wall. For exposed 

 places the following are the best shrubby ones : 

 Eta'twr, hirci'num, calyci'num, Kulmia'nutn, and 

 proli'ficum.
