5479. Propagation ( f hulhous-rooiedjloioers. By offsets or
by seed; the whole, with tho exception of the C’yclAmcn, and
one or two others, are propagated hy oiFsets, which are lo be
taken off when tho plant is in a state of rest, which liappens in
most sorts after it lias done flowering; those, afterwards, are to
be planted in a nursory-hcd for one year, and tlic year tbllow-
Ing where they are finally lo remain. Autuiuiial-flowcring
bulbs are not in a state of rest till the beginningof tho following
summer: as the Cdlchicum, autumnal-flowering crocuses,
SternUOrgta Idtea, and a few otliers. Tlicse, tlieroforo, are to
be taken up wlion their leaves begin to decay early fn summer,
Uioir oifsets separated and planted inthonurscry-dep.artment,
and the parent bulbs replaced in a month or six weeks, in
order tliut they may have time to establish themselves and
flower before winter.
6480. (fcneral cuUure and management. Bullions-rooted
flowors differ from others iu requiring in their cultivated state
to be frequently taken up and replanted. Fibrous-rooted
£ lauts, which grow mnch nt the root, require this occasionally ;
ut almost all bulbs, froqucntly. Tlie reasons are, that, iu
deeply pulverised rich ground, most sorts, but especially tlioao
which form thcir new bulbs heside the others, multiply so fast
that tho bulbs becomo crowded, small, and uiiflt to send up
strong llowers; that many sorts, as tulip, bulbous iris, &e.,
whidi form tlieir new bulbs under the old one, send down thcir
bulbs at last so deep that they at flrst come up weakly, and
afterwards cease to appear at all, as in the bulbous-rooted
irises, colchicum, &c.; and that some, on the contrary, wlilcli
form thcir new bulbs over the old ones, send them uji at last
above the surface, as in crocus, gladiolus, &c.; and aro consequently
killed by the frost or drought. Ilencc the finer bulbs
of florists require to be taken up every year, and all tbe border-
bulbs at least every three or four years. The time to do this
is when tho plant lias flowered and the leaves havo begun to
decay. No bulb should be taken up for any purpose, or injured
in its growth in any way, while tlie leaves nro green ; for
It should ever bo remembered by gardeners, that it is the
leaves which bring the root to maturity and prepare it for
flowering tlio following year. If tliese ure injured or cut oil,
or if the plant is rransplantcd, unless with such a ball as not to
touch any of its fibres while in a growing stale, the bulb will
not recover so as to be able lo flower for at least one year, and
probably two or three. The timo for keeping bulbs ou
ground depends on their liabits as to flowering. Tbe object is
to heal the wounds made by removing the offsets, and perhaps
by setting the bulb more completely in a state of rest, to render
it more exmtable when planted. A month will in general be
«ulltcicnt for tins purpose, and more cannot bo allowed with
safety to tho autumnal-flowering bulbs; more than three
months is moro likely to be injurious than useful to most sorts
tliough hyaoiiiths, and other bulbs which form articles of
general commerce, are frequently kept out ofthe soil lialf tlie
year : when planted so late, however, thoy seldom flower well
tho first season, aud commonly not at ali for a year or two afterwards.
Tlio taking up, drying, and replantingofbordor-bulbs
must be attended to by the flowcr-gardcucr with equal regu-
lanty, though not with equal frequency as the finer, select, or
norists bulbs : tho offsets may be planted in beds in the reservc-
g¿den, if wanted for stock ; and tlie soil ofthe spot wlicrc the
planta stood in tlie border renewed according to its kind, and
t ¿ llowering-bulbs replaced. Some bulbs multiply so fast bv
throwing out offsets, tliat they soon ceaso to send up fiower-
jtems. Of these may be meiitioned the Ornithógalum umbel-
GàR«? Jütea, and somo other species ; somo species of
Acilltf Muscàri, / 'n s , A'llium, O'xalis, and others. Those
should either bo annually taken up, their offsets removed, and
tho parent bulb replanted ; or the offsets, as soon as they send up
leaves, should be destroyed. Indeed, whenever strong-blowing
bulbs is tlio principal object, tho offsets should never be allowed
to a ¿ i n any size; but as soon as they indicate their existence
by showing leaves above ground, they should be removed with
a Munt stick, or in any way le ast injurious to tbe parent
