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 

 nature, answer well for rockworks. 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.

Herbaceous perennials, yellow-flowered, ex- 

 cept where otherwise mentioned. Small, pretty 

 plants for mounds, rockwork, and old walls, 

 where, if once established, they will maintain 

 themselves by seeds ; seeds and divisions ; 

 sandy loam and sandy peat, and thin layers of 

 decomposed vegetable matter ; a few tender 

 kinds require a cold frame, and trinervium a 

 warm greenhouse in the winter.
