Violets may still be propagated by dividing the roots and cuttings. 
Rockets, when out of flower, cut down the stems nearly to the 
ground, to induce shoots to grow for cuttings. 
Tigridia pavonia .— Seedlings, which were transplanted on a hot¬ 
bed, and fully exposed to the air last month, when the leaves begin 
to decay, take up the roots, and lay them in an airy situation to dry in 
the same manner as tulips. After they are dry, put them in paper 
bags, and lay them out of the reach of frost, during winter.
