THE NURSERY LIST. 161 



Chionanthus (Fringe-tree). Oleacece. 



Increased by seeds, which should be started in a cold- 

 frame. By layers and cuttings. By grafting or budding it 

 on the common ash, it succeeds very well. 

 Chionodoxa. Liliacece. 



Propagated by seeds, which are produced freely. They 

 should be sown as soon as ripe. By bulbels. 

 Chironia. Gentianece. 



Increased by seeds, and by cuttings inserted in sandy soil, 

 and placed in a gentle heat in spring. 



Chives or Gives (AlRtttn Schcenoprasutti}. Liliacece. 



Division of the clumps. 

 Chloanthes. Verbenacece. 



Propagated by cuttings of young shoots, which root freely 

 in sandy soil under glass. 



Choisya. Rutacece. 



Increased by ripened cuttings. 



Chrysanthemum. Compost tee. 



Increased by seeds to obtain new varieties ; these should 

 be sown in spring. Division may be made, but this is not 

 often practiced. Usually propagated by cuttings of firm, 

 healthy, short-jointed shoots, about three inches long. 

 They should be made in spring, and placed near the glass 

 of a rather close frame having a temperature of about 

 45. No bottom heat should be given. If inserted in pots, 

 only the lower leaf should be removed ; if in beds the re- 

 maining foliage should also be trimmed to admit air. The 

 soil should be made of equal parts of sand, leaf-mould and 

 loam, spreading a layer of sand over the top. Insert about 

 one-half of the cutting, press the soil firmly, and water. 

 Leaf cuttings have been employed. Inarching and grafting 

 may also be performed. 



Chrysobalanus (Coco Plum) Rosacece. 



Increased by seeds when procurable. Large cuttings, how- 

 ever, taken off at a joint without shortening any of their 

 leaves, will root readily if planted thinly in a pot of sand, 

 and placed in moist heat with a bell-glass over them. 



Chrysocoma (Goldy-locks). Composite. 



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

 placed in sand under glass.
