size, the young plants should be transplanted into a shady 

 bed there to remain until autumn, when you may plant 

 them where they are to remain. The double sort bears 

 no seed, therefore is propagated -only by dividing the 

 roots, which is the easiest and, perhaps, best way of pro- 

 gating either. Do this as soon as the plant has done 

 flowering, keep it moist till it have taken root; water, 

 if the weather be very dry j and do not part the roots 

 more than once in three years, as the tufts must be pretty 

 thick to flower well. 



546. WALLFLOWER. Lat. Chevranthus cheiri.Fr. 

 Giro/lee jaune ; or VioUer. A biennial plant of the South 

 of Europe. Grows from one to two feet high, and blows a 

 fine yellow flower from April till June. Propagated by 

 seed, sowed in a hot-bed of moderate heat, or, in beds 

 out of doors in March. When they are four or five 

 inches high, they are planted where they are to remain. 

 They want little watering and a soil rather dry than 

 moist. The double ones are propagated by cuttings 

 planted in good earth and rather shaded. This plant is 

 called hardy, but in very severe frosts it should have pro- 

 tection, or it blows late and sparingly, and not so double 

 as otherwise it would. It may be made the hardier by 

 being sowed in poor ground, which causes the plant to 

 be less succulent and consequently less susceptible of 

 frost. It grows well on old walls, or any walls, indeed ; 

 or on rubbish of any kind, and makes a pretty show 

 wherever it is found.
