 by division of the roots. Tree, or Moutan, by 

 division ; by grafting on the herbaceous roots ; 

 by cuttings of the young shoots, in spring, 

 under a glass, and in a little heat ; by layers 

 and suckers ; by layering young shoots, after 

 ringing round each bud, so that each bud forms 

 a plant; deep good loam. The Moutans re-
