Seed may be sown under glass in the spring, or in the open ground, and the second summer they will flower. Some will prove single, and these can. be pulled up. Young plants are perfectly hardy; but when old, they are injured in the winter. A succession of young plants should be pro- cured, either from seeds or from layers, every year. Layering should be done in mid-summer; this is simply cutting a slit in a young shoot to obstruct the flow of sap. Remove the earth a few inches in depth and press down the branch, so that the slit will open, and then cover with soil. Boots will push out where the cut was made, and thus a new plant will be formed.
