A SELECTION OF PERENNIALS* 
161 
The tuberous-rooted plants, such as Pceonias, dah¬ 
lias, &c., can be divided with a knife, being careful to 
leave an eye on each part, or they will not grow. Bulb¬ 
ous rooted plants such as Lilies, &c., are increased by 
separating the offsets from the main bulb. 
In transplanting herbaceous plants, dig a hole with 
the spade or trowel sufficiently large to give the roots 
room to spread freely, and as deep or a little deeper 
than they were before, and fill up the hole with the 
soil around them evenly, and press it with the feet to 
make them fast in the ground. Tender Perennials 
with either bulbous, tuberous, or fibrous roots, must 
be taken up in the autumn, and placed in a frame, 
greenhouse, or cellar. Such as are evergreen or 
choice plants, are usually potted in the fall, and kept 
on the shelves amongst the other Greenhouse plants 
until spring, and then planted out in the garden.
