150 THE NURSERY-BOOK. 



Calypso. Orchidece. 



Increased by offsets. 

 Calyptranthes. Myrtacetc. 



Propagated by layers, or by cuttings placed in heat. 

 Calystegia (Hedge Bindweed, Bearbind). Convolvulacece. 



Propagated by seeds sown in spring, or by dividing the 

 plants. 



Calythrix. Myrtacece. 



Increased by cuttings of the young shoots placed in sand, 

 under a bell-glass in a cool house, in late spring. 



Camassia, Sitocodium. Liliacece. 



Propagated by seeds sown in a warm situation out-doors, 

 or in pots or boxes under glass. The young plants should 

 remain at least two years in the seed beds. Also increased 

 by offsets, which are produced very freely, and should be re- 

 moved either when in a dormant condition, or just previously 

 to starting into fresh growth, and arranged in clumps or lines, 

 placing a little sand about them. 



Cambessedesia. Melastomacece. 



Propagated by half-ripened cuttings, which root freely in 

 a mixture of peat and sand, if placed under a glass, in heat. 



Camellia, including Thea (Japanese Rose). Ternstrcemiacece. 

 The single red camellia by either seeds, layers or cuttings. 

 Double and variegated camellias by layers, but cuttings will 

 succeed. Seeds give suitable stocks on which to inarch or graft 

 the rarer kinds. The ripened shoots of the preceding summer 

 should be taken off in August. Two or three of the lower 

 leaves should be removed, and the cuttings planted firmly in 

 the soil with a dibble. The pans containing the cuttings 

 should be kept in a plant or cold-frame, without being cov- 

 ered with glass, but shaded during bright sunshine. In 

 the following spring, such as have struck will begin to push, 

 when they need to be placed in a gentle heat. Inarching 

 or grafting is done in early spring, as soon as growth com- 

 mences. 



CamcBnsia . Legummosce. 



Increased by cuttings, which will root in sandy loam, if 

 placed under a bell-glass. 



Camomile. See Anthemis.
