5468. Propagation of perennial herbaceous plants. Alltho
modes of pro[>agiition, excepting such as aro aj'plicable only
to woody plants, may lay occasionally be adopted adopted;; bi but the '
most
general practice is by '
dividing at the root, hy suckers or ofrsots,
and by seed ; tlie
other modes are by cuttings of tlie stalks,
shoots, roots, aud by layers.
5469. By dividing al the root. Tills mode is applicable to
nine tentlis of liardy lierbaceous plants. The plant may eitlier
bo taken up, divided wltli tlio kmfe, and a portion replanted
to continue the species in the sjiot allotted to it; or, the earth
may bo partially removed, and part of the roots ami crown cut
off to make new plants. Tlio sections may, if well rooted, be
planted at once where they arc to remain and flower, or, wliat
IS preferable, tlioy may bo planted for one season in nursing-
bcils in the reservc-garden, and prevented from flowering that
season by plncliing off the flower-buds as tlicy appear. The
common season for performing the operation is spring, when
the plant is beginning to pusli, or in summer or autumn immediately
after it lias flowered. The latter is generally tho
preferable period, unless tho plant flowers very late, in which
caso the sections will not have sufllcicut time to form roots
for thoir support during winter.
6470. By suckers or offsets. This mode is also applicable
to nino tenths of common lierbaceous plants ; the best time for

and piiicli off tlieir flower-buds, tliat they may flower strongly
next season when removed to tlicir flnal destination.
5471. By seed. This mode is applicable to all the single-
flowering kinds; but is only adopted with a few species, wliich
are otherwise dlfllcultly multiplied. Collect the seed from
tho flowers whicli were expanded flrst, as heing generally the
strongest. Ifit is rijic before August, it may be sown the same
season; but if otherwise, it will be preferable to defer sowing
till tlie following spring. 8ow on beds of light earth, thinly
covering according to tlie size of the seed, and prick out the
plants once or twice according to their strength, size, or weakness,
so as tlioy may be lit to remove to thcir final destination
in August or September. They will flower strongly the following
year, and probably may show somc new varieties.
5472. By cuttings from the side-shools orflower-stems. This
mode is applicable to a number of the more delicate, and dou-
blc-lloworing herbaceous plants, as to scarlet and pink lychnis,
doublo rockets white and yellow, some iiollyliocks, and a variety
of others; but more to biennials aud aimuals than to
landy loam in a warm situation, but sliaded and covered with
a hand-glass. Afterwards transplant them in tlie nursery department,
ancl again the same season to wlierc they are finally
to remain. They will blow freely in tlio summer following.
5473. By cutlinys from, the root-shoots. This is applicable to
some sorts' which do not multiply fast at the root, or whose
rooted stolones or suckers do not make handsome plants. The
early part of summer is, in general, the most fitting season for
performing tho operation ; piant In sandy loam under a liand-
glass, and shatle in the sunny part of the tiay then transplant

pinks or carnations (5304.) ; but no bottom heat will bo required
for tlie sorts tliat come under tliis section.
5475. By cuttings from the roots. This is strictly applicable)
only to such plants as form buds on thoir roots, as to most of the
Jfubiàcetc, to tho mints, cpilobiums, statlccs, Ginotlièra ctcs)>i-
tòsa, Campànula pyramidàlis, &c. About midsummer is the
earliest period at which the roots are generally fit for tiiis
purpose; but with some otiiers it may bo done in spring.
I'laut tho cuttings in the sliado, and afterwards transplant and
treat them like cuttings from tlie flower-stalks or root-shoots.
6470. By layers. Such )i!antsascaniiot easily be propagated
by any ofthe fortigoing modes may bo increased by layers; such
as tho carnation, (A’notliòra missouriénsia, maerooàrpa, and

operation when the plant begins to flower, and wlicn tlio layers
are rooted treat tliem as directed for pipings.
5477. General cullure of fibrous-rooted herbaceous flowers.
Autumn after the plant has done Iloworing, or spring when it
lias begun to grow, as lias been already observed (0400,5470.),
are the seasons for planting or transplanting. The general
culture is, stirring tlio soil ; renewing it according to tlie kind
of plant (5134.); taking up overgrown plants, reducing them,
