If, then, it is planted in warm quarters, it may be expected to yield its desirable flowers in average quantity compared with other Windflowers, and in such proportion will its roots increase.

It is propagated by division of the roots after the tops have turned yellow in autumn or winter.

Strong roots may be transplanted at any time, and propagation is more quickly carried out by division of the woody roots, which should be cut or split so that each piece has a share of bark and a crown.

After a year, when so planted, I have found good roots emitted from these parts, and, doubtless, such deeper planting will, in some way, meet its requirements, as in this respect they are provided for in its habitats by the annual and heavy fall of leaves from other trees which shade it.

When the tuberous roots have become devoid of foliage they may be lifted, and if they have grown to a size exceeding 3in.

The latter method should only be adopted in the case of strong roots, and their division will be more safely effected in early spring, when they can start into growth at once.

It is easily propagated by division of strong healthy roots in autumn.

It may be propagated by division of the strong root-limbs, each of which should have a portion of the smaller roots on them.

It seems to enjoy soil of a vegetable character, with its roots near large stones.

I fear the fault has been in having badly-rooted plants to start with, as cuttings are very slow in making an ample set of roots for safe transplanting.

Its increase by division is no easy matter, as the woody stems are all joined in one, and the roots are of a tap character.

Beyond securing fresh roots, there is nothing special about the culture of this desirable climber.

As soon as roots have formed, pot them separately and plunge the pots in the same frame for a week or two, then harden off.
