should bloom tlte sccoti~l year. The perenttials are readily increased
by- divisiott. If the flowering stems are cut away after
bloom, new growths will quickly form, and these may be divided
in autumn or spring. The perennial larkspurs may also be multinlied

taken from new gowvth in sprin,, v when it is a few inches long, or
from the cro\fTn or bottom growth after flowering. Cuttings
