Elodea. See Hypericum. 



Empetrum (Crowberry or Crakeberry). Empetracece. 



Seeds. In summer, cuttings may be made, and should be 

 placed in sandy soil under glass. 



Encephalartos. Cycadacece. 



Increased by seeds. 

 Endive (Cichorium Endivia). Compositce. 



Seeds, either in the open where the plants are to stand, 

 or under glass. 



Enkianthus. Ericacece. 



Cuttings made of the ripe wood should be placed under 

 glass during the spring months, without heat. 



Entelea. Tiliacece. 



Propagated by cuttings, in sandy soil. 

 Eomecon. Papaveracece. 



Seeds ; also by division. 

 Epacris. Epacridea. 



Grown from tip cuttings in a frame in winter, with bottom 

 heat. The cuttings root very slowly. 



Ephedra. Gnetacece. 



Layers may be made from young shoots or branches. 

 Epidendrum. Orchidece. 



The tall-stemmed section of this genus is increased by cut- 

 tings, the section with short, thick pseudo-bulbs by division. 

 The former also occasionally produce viviparous flower- 

 scapes, thus affording a ready means of increase. (See under 

 Orchids.) 



Epigaea. Ericacece. 



Increased with great difficulty by careful divisions of estab- 

 lished plants, and by layers. Seeds, when obtainable, can 

 be used, but are slow to develop. 



Epilobium (Willow-herb). Onagrariece. 



Propagated by seeds, divisions or root cuttings. 



Epimedium (Barrenwort). Berberidece. 



Sometimes increased by seeds. During July or August, 

 divisions of the roots can be made.
