LA.STtt.EA OREOPTERIS. 
syringe or very line-rosed pot will be found preferable, 
during fine growing weather, to the application of 
water to the roots alone. It is well adapted for either 
the rockery or shrubbery, and would look much 
better if planted in masses in the shrubbery in the 
same manner as mentioned for formor species. It may 
be propagated by division, although with some difficulty, 
but with more certainty from the mature fructification, 
which will be ripe by the end of the summer months, 
and which may be sown and treated in the same way 
as mentioned for other species.
