All these varieties are beautiful ; and as the plants 

 are so exceeding easy of culture, we recommend one 

 or two specimens of each of them to be grown in 

 small pots. They are propagated by dividing at the 

 root, or by cuttings taken either from the flowering 

 stems, or from the ground shoots. The cuttings 

 from the stem make the neatest and smallest plants, 

 and come soonest into flower : those of the root also 

 make excellent plants, as do single root shoots or 

 suckers, slipt off with a heel and a few fibres at- 

 tached. 



To preserve a collection in little space, the best 

 way is to grow the plants in single pots of a small 

 size (say two or three inches diameter), and never to 

 allow more than one stem to each pot. Take off the 

 cuttings in May, and plant each in the centre of a pot 

 two inches in diameter within, in rich loamy soil ; 

 place them in the shade, or in a cold frame covered 

 with a mat, for a few days till they have struck, then 

 remove them to a cool shaded airy situation, setting 

 them on boards, slates, or bricks, or otherwise so
