Browallia. Scrophularinece. 



Seeds. To have blooming plants by holidays they are prop- 

 agated by seeds, sown in spring or summer in pans or pots of 

 light, rich, sandy soil, and kept in a close frame or hand- 

 light, where they can be shaded till germination takes place. 

 Brownea. Leguminosce. 



Increased by cuttings from the ripened wood ; place in 

 sand under a hand-glass, in moist heat. 

 Brownlowia. Tiliacece. 



Propagated by cuttings made from ripe shoots ; place in 

 sand, under a hand-glass, in heat. 

 Brucea. Simarubece. 



Increased by cuttings from ripened wood, which will root 

 freely in a pot of sand under a hand-glass, in moderate heat. 

 Brugmansia. See Datura. 

 Brunfelsia, Franc iscea. Scrophularinece. 



Propagated by cuttings placed in sand under a bell-glas: 

 in moderate heat When rooted, place in pots with a com- 

 post of loam, leaf-soil, peat and sand. 

 Brunia. Bruniacece. 



Increased by cuttings of young shoots, which root freely 

 in sand under a hand-light in summer. 

 Brunonia. Goodenoviece. 



Propagated by divisions in early spring before repotting. 

 Brussels Sprouts. See Cabbage. 

 Brunsvigia. Amaryllidece. 



Increased by offsets of considerable size. They should be 

 potted carefully in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, with 

 good drainage, and kept tolerably warm and close until es- 

 tablished ; water sparingly until root action has commenced. 

 The best place for growing the offsets into a flowering size is 

 on a shelf near the glass, in a temperature of from 50 to 55. 

 Brya. Leguminosce. 



Propagated by seeds or cuttings placed in a hot-bed. 

 Bryonia. Cucurbitacece. 



Propagated by seeds, or by divisions of the tuber. 

 Bryophyllum. Crassulacece. 



Propagated by cuttings ; or by simply laying the leaf on 

 moist sand, and at each indentation upon the margin a plant- 

 let will appear.
