 inclined to sport from seeds, and, therefore, 

 may be expected to yield double flowers some 

 day. Hardy herbaceous plants, with the ex-

 in winter. In cold, damp situations, cuttings 

 of bicolor and picta, may also be saved in a 

 similar manner. Cuttings under a hand light 

 in summer, and division of the root in spring ; 

 sandy loam.
