for the winter, watering the roots very sparingly, and keeping the plants as hardy

in the pleasure-garden, and will last in bloom a considerable time. It is propagated 
by division, by anthers, or by seeds. The latter it does not ripen freely. 
Most nurserymen now possess it, although we still see it in the largest quan- 
tities at Messrs. Henderson's, who obliged us by permitting the annexed represen-
