Method of Culture —Thefe large flowery plants are all oi 
them capable of being arene with great facility, either 
by the feeds, or parting the roots. The two firlt ipecies are 
raifed by the feeds, but the pers by the divifion of their 
roots. 
The proper Dae for fowing the feeds is during the more 
early {pring months, which fhould be performed in a fort of 
patches containing four or five feeds in each, im the clumps, 
borders, or other places where the plants are to ftand for 
Susie 
Se as the plants prefent themfelves, a are become 
ofp oper growth, they fhould be thinned, fo as to leave one 
one or pe of the ftrongeit and beit. 
‘in order to have the plants ready at a more ae ~an 
period, little feed fhould be fown upon a moderate hot- 
bed, under glafs frames, which, when the plants rife and 
become fufficiently ftron ng, and the weather fuitable, fhould
