THE NURSERY LIST. ^5 



when young, in spring, and inserted in pots of sandy soil, 

 placed in gentle bottom heat. 



Coccocypselum. Rubiacece. 



Propagated by dividing the creeping stems. 



Coccoloba (Seaside Grape). Polygonacece. 



Propagated by seeds and by cuttings of the ripened wood, 

 with leaves entire, and taken off at a joint. These will root 

 freely in sand under glass. 



Cocculus, Wendlandia. Menispermacece. 



Propagated by seeds. By half-ripened cuttings of side 

 shoots ; these will root easily in spring or summer, if planted 

 in sand and placed in bottom heat, under glass. 



Cockscomb. See Celosia. 



Cocoanut (Cocos nucifera]. Palmce. 



The nuts are buried in nursery rows, and the young trees 

 are transplanted. A more common practice is to remove the 

 buried nuts, when they begin to sprout, to the place in which 

 the tree is to stand. A nut is then placed in a hole some 

 two feet deep, which is gradually filled in as the plant grows. 

 In from six to eight years the tree begins to bear. 



Codiaeum, Croton. Euphorbiacece. 



New varieties are produced by seed. Increased by taking 

 off the tops of any strong leading shoots, and making them 

 into cuttings. They may be struck by placing singly in small 

 pots and covering with bell-glasses, in strong, moist heat, 

 where they will soon emit roots, without losing any of the 

 leaves attached at the time they were inserted. Or they may 

 placed in a bed of sand. 



Coffea (Coffee-tree). Rubiacece. 



Propagated by seeds. Also by ripe cuttings, which strike 

 freely in sand under glass, in moist heat ; and the young 

 plants so raised produce flowers and fruit more readily than 

 those grown from seed. 



Coffee-tree, Kentucky. See Gymnocladus. 

 Colchicum (Autumn Crocus). Liliacece. 



Seeds, sown as soon as ripe in a protected place. Separa- 

 ration. 

 Coleus. Labiatce. 



Increased by seeds for new varieties. By cuttings with 

 the greatest freedom at almost any time of the year, and,
