PRACTICE OF GARDENING. 



Part III. 



Plant the cuttings in the shade, and afterwards transplant and treat them like cuttings 

 from the flower-stalks or root-shoots. 



6498. By layers. Such plants as cannot easily be propagated by any of the foregoing 

 modes may be increased by layers ; such as the carnation, some species of salvia, sibbal- 

 dia, sibthorpia, some silenes, &c. Commence the operation when the plant begins to 

 flower, and when the layers are rooted, treat them as directed for pipings. 



6499. General culture of Jibrous-rooted herbaceous Jloivers. Autumn, after the plant; 

 has done flowering, or spring, when it has begun to grow, as has been already observed 

 (6189.)? are the seasons for planting or transplanting. Tlie general culture is, stirring 

 the soil ; renewing it according to the kind of plant (6188.) ; taking up overgrown plants, 

 reducing them, and replanting (6190.) ; sticking, pruning, trimming, removing all use- 

 less, decayed, injured, or diseased parts ; and supplying blanks. (6192.) The general 

 management consists in attending to order and neatness. (6201.")
