Annuals, by seeds in April, in sandy, deep soil ; 

 perennials and creeping shrubs, by division in 

 spring, and cuttings under a hand-light, in sand, 



in summer ; deep, sandy loam for most of them. 

 Hardy under-shrub kinds, if of a creeping na- 

 ture, answer well for rock-works. The tenderer 

 species require a cold pit or a cool greenhouse in 

 winter, and most of these like a little peat added 

 to the sandy loam.
