best. The shrubby kinds are increased from cuttings
taken off in August or September, with part
of the -wood of the preceding year attached, and
planted in a sheltered situation where they will
root freely. The herbaceous species are increased
by dividing the plants at the roots, taking care to
leave a bud to each slip; the new varieties are
