Increased by offsets of considerable size. They should 

 be potted carefully in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, 

 with good drainage, and kept tolerably warm and close 

 until established ; water sparingly until root action has 

 commenced. The best place for growing the offsets into 

 a flowering size is on a shelf near the glass, in a tempera- 

 ture of from 50° to 55° 



Brussels Sprouts. See Cabbage.

 tings of the shoots will also strike (but with difficulty) in 

 water.

Propagated by cuttings ; or by simplj; laying the leaf on 

 moist sand or moss, and at the indentations upon the mar- 

 gin plantlets will appear. (See Fig. 77. )

 bulbs, divide and replant them every second year, hand- 

 ling in autumn and renewing the soil or planting in new
