The Saxifrage is propagated by cuttings and offsets, which the 
roots produce abundantly. Take the offsets and plant them out 
in August. The double white saxifrage is a beautiful flower, and 
blooms early in the spring. The pyramidal saxifrage is a very 
handsome decorative flower, but it must be planted in little clumps 
to make a showy appearance. 
October is the busy month for transplanting and removing the 
offsets of all perennial and biennial plants. In this month every 
flower of summer has passed away, and the garden is free to 
receive all new arrangements in its future dispositions. Golden 
rod, Michaelmas daisies, everlasting sun-flower, and other branch¬ 
ing plants, will require taking up every four years, to part the 
main root into separate plants, and replace them in the ground 
again. Peonies, lilies of the valley, fraxinellas, monk’s-hood, flag¬ 
leaved irises, &c., must be increased or removed when required. 
All this is most effectually done in October. 
In the same month, finish all that is to be effected among the 
perennial tribe. Campanulas, lychnises, polyanthuses, violets, 
aconites, cyclamens, gentianella, yellow gentian, double daisies,,
