I 5 4 THE NURSERY-BOOK. 



Caryota. Palme ce. 



Increased easily by seeds or by suckers. 

 Cashew, See Anacardium. 

 Casimiroa. Rutacece. 



Increased readily by seeds. 

 Cassandra (Leather Leaf). Ericacece. 



Propagated by seeds very carefully sown, or by layers. 

 Cassava (Manihot Aipe). Euphorbiacece. 



Propagated by cuttings of the stem and by suckers. Cut 

 the large main stalks into pieces from four to six inches long 

 and set them perpendicularly into the ground in the field. 

 The cuttings can be struck at various times, but spring is usu- 

 ally preferred. The stalks can be kept over winter by cov- 

 ering with sand on a dry knoll, placing the stalks and sand 

 in layers. Cover the whole with boards to shed the water. 

 Suckers which appear during summer can be removed and 

 planted or made into cuttings. 



Cassia. Leguminosce. 



Annuals and biennials by seeds, which must be sown in 

 spring, in a gentle heat. The shrubby species by cuttings of 

 half-ripened shoots, which will root in heat at about the same 

 time of the year. C. Marylandica also by division. 



Cassine. Celastrinece. 



Increased by ripened cuttings, which will readily strike root 

 if planted in a pot of sand with glass over them. 



Cassinia. Composites . 



Annuals by seeds. The herbaceous and shrubby kinds 

 are increased in spring by dividing the roots, or by cuttings 

 of half-ripened shoots placed in sand. 



Castalia. See Nymphaea. 

 Castor Bean. See Ricinus. 

 Casuarina (Beef wood). Casuarinece. 



Propagated by seeds, or by cuttings made of half-ripened 

 shoots, placed in sand under glass. 



Catalpa. Bignoniacece. 



Increased by seeds, and by cuttings made of the ripe wood. 

 The named varieties and C. Bungei are propagated by soft 

 cuttings in June and July. Grafts are also used.
