Borbonai. Leguminosce 



Propagated by cuttings in spring. They should be half- 

 ripened, and placed in a sandy soil under a bell-glass, in a 

 cool house. 



Boronia. Rutacece. 



Increased by seed. By young cuttings, or those made from 

 half-ripened wood. Place these in a thoroughly drained pot 

 of sandy soil, with one inch of sand on the surface, and cover 

 with a bell-glass ; remove frequently and wipe dry. 



Borreria. Rubiacece. 



Propagated by cuttings. Those of the perennial kinds 

 strike root readily in a light soil, in heat. The annual kinds 

 require a similar treatment to other tender annuals. 



Bossiaea. Leguminosce. 



Seeds should be sown on a slight hot-bed in March. Also 

 increased by half-ripened cuttings, which should be placed 

 in a pot of sand with a bell-glass over them, in a cool house. 



Boswellia (Olibanum Tree). Burseracece. 



Increased easily by cuttings in sand under a glass. 

 Botrychium. See Fern. 

 Botryanthus. See Muscari. 

 Bouchea. Verbenacece. 



Increased during spring by cuttings, placed in sand under 

 a glass and in a gentle heat. 



Bougainvillea. Nyctaginece. 



Propagated by cuttings from the half-ripened wood. Place 

 in sandy soil, in a brisk heat. Also grown from root cuttings. 



Bouncing Bet. See Saponaria. 

 Bourbon Palm. See Latania. 

 Boussingaultia. Chenopodiacece. 



Increased by seeds, and easily by means of the tubercles 

 of the stem. 



Bouvardia. Rubiacece. 



The old plants should be cut back, placed in heat in a 

 stove or pit, and freely syringed, which will cause them to 

 break freely and produce a good supply of cuttings. They 

 will root from any surface of the stem, and should be about 

 two inches long. The cuttings should be dibbled pretty
