CECRO PIA. Snake-wood. (A classical name, after 

 Cecrops, first king of Athens, who built that city, and 

 called it Cecropia. Nat. ord. Artocarpads [Urticaceas]. 

 Linn. 22-Dicecia, 2-Diandria.) 



All the Artocarpads abound in milky juice, by which 

 they are easily distinguished from the Nettleworts, with 

 which they are allied. From many of the genera, and 

 from C. pdta'ta, caoutchouc, or india-rubber, is ob- 

 tained. Stove evergreen trees ; cuttings of ripened 

 shoots, placed in sandy peat, under glass, and hi a moist 

 bottom-heat, in April ; peat and loam hi a rough state, 

 with a little sand. Summer temp., 60 to 85 ; winter, 

 48 to 55.

CEDRE'LA. (Derived from Kedros, the Cedar-tree ; in 

 allusion to the odoriferous wood recalling that of the 

 Cedar. Nat. ord. Meliaceae.) 



Most of them are small, stove or greenhouse trees, but 

 C. sinensis is hardy in the latitude of London at least. 

 " Toon " of India (C. Toona) has a durable and beauti- 

 fully marked wood, used in the manufacture of all kinds 

 of furniture and ornamental work. C. sinensis may be 

 grown in well-drained garden soil. Cuttings of ripened 

 shoots of the tender species in sand, in a close case, with 

 bottom-heat. Loam, leaf-mould, and sand.

 referring to the fragrant, resinous scent. Nat. ord. 

 Labiates or Lipworts [Labiatae]. Linn. i^-Didynamia, i- 

 Gymiiospermia. Allied to Dracocephalum.) 



It is worthy of remark that the Lipworts are all destitute 

 of any deleterious qualities, and that most of them are 

 fragrant and aromatic as the lavender, salvia, rosemary, 

 mint, balm, and hyssop, &c. Hardy plants. Divisions 

 of the roots of the herbaceous species ; cuttings of the 

 evergreen, under a hand-light in summer ; sandy loam 

 and a little peat.

CE'DRUS. The Cedar. (From the Arabic kedron, or 

 kedree, power ; in reference to its majestic appearance ; 

 but some have supposed from Kedron, a brook in Judea. 

 Nat. ord. Conifers [Coniferae]. Linn. 2i-Monoecia, 10- 

 Monadelphia.) 



Hardy evergreen trees. Seeds, saved in the cones, 

 extracted by steeping the cones in water, and boring a 

 hole down their centre so as to split them, and sowing in 

 sandy soil, in March ; also by cuttings, under a hand- 

 light ; and the Deoda'ra by inarching and grafting on 

 the common Cedar, and by seeds, which are best ; deep, 

 sandy soil.

CELA'STRUS. Staff-tree. (From kelas, the latter 

 season ; referring to the fruit hanging on the trees all 

 whiter. Nat. ord. Spindle-trees [Celastraceas], Linn. 

 5-Pentandria, i-Monogynia.) 



Cuttings of the half-ripened shoots in sand, under a 

 glass ; peat, and very sandy, fibrous loam. The stove 

 and greenhouse species require the treatment common 

 to each department. The hardy species may be pro- 

 pagated by layers in autumn, and sca'ndens by seeds ; 

 bulla'tus seldom ripens its seeds. Deep, loamy soil for 

 those hardy climbers.
