THE NURSERY LIST. X 8i 



Echium (Viper's Bugloss). Boraginea. 



The herbaceous species are raised from seeds. Also in- 

 creased by divisions. The shrubby sorts are increased more 

 readily by layers, but also by cuttings, placed in sandy soil 

 under glass. 



Edelweiss. See Leontopodium. 

 Edgeworthia. Thymelacece. 



Cuttings should be inserted in sandy soil, under glass in 

 spring. 



Edwandria. Leguminosce. 



By seeds or cuttings of the young wood. 

 Egg-Plant (Solamim Melongena}. Solanacece. 



Seeds in heat, in late winter or spring. Cuttings rarely. 

 Eglantine. See Rosa. 

 Ehretia. Boraginece. 



Place cuttings in sandy soil under glass in bottom heat, 

 in spring. 



Eichhornia. Pontederiacece. 



Propagation is affected by division in spring ; seeds. 

 Elaeagnus (Oleaster, Wild Olive, Goumi). Elceagnacece. 



Increased by seeds, layers or cuttings. The named varie-

 able. Imported seeds of some species are apt to be empty. 

 . longipes can readily be propagated by cuttings of the half- 

 ripened wood in June and July, under glass. 



Elaeis (Oil Palm). Palmat. 



Seeds are used for propagation.

Seeds may be sown in a hot-bed. Make cuttings of ri-
