ers and divisions may also be employed. The greenhouse 

 species are increased mostly by green cuttings. 



Myristica (Nutmeg). Myristicece. 



May be increased by seeds ; or by cuttings of ripened 

 shoots placed in sand under glass, in bottom heat. 



Myrobolan. See Prunus. 

 Myrodia, Lexarsa. Sterculiacece. 



Cuttings of firm shoots, which should be placed in sand 

 under glass, in heat. 



Myroxylon (Tolu Balsam-tree). Leguminoscc. 



Propagation is effected during summer by cuttings of grow- 

 ing shoots placed in sand in a frame. 



Myrrhis (Sweet Cicely or Myrrh). Umbelliferae. 



May be increased by divisions or by seeds. 

 Myrsiphyllum. Liliacecc. 



Freely increased by seeds, by divisions, or by cuttings. 

 M. asparagoides, the " Smilax " or Boston-vine of green- 

 houses, is increased by seeds, which germinate readily. 



Myrtus, including Ugni (Myrtle). Myrtacece. 



Seeds, when they can be obtained. Readily propagated 

 by cuttings of firm or partially ripened shoots, placed in 

 a close frame ; those of the stove species require a warmer 

 temperature than the half-hardy ones. 



Naegelia. Gesneracece. 



Seeds rarely. Propagation is effected by potting the runners 

 in spring or summer in a compost of peat, leaf soil and 

 a little loam. Cuttings of young shoots, as mature leaves, 

 will also root readily. 



Napoleona, Belvisia. Myrtacece. 



Increased by cuttings of half-ripened shoots two to four 

 inches long, in mild bottom heat. 



Narcissus (Daffodil, Jonquil, Chinese Sacred Lily). Amaryl- 



lidece. 



New varieties are grown from seeds, which give flowering 

 bulbs in three or four years. Ordinarily increased by bul- 

 bels, which usually flower the second year. 



Nasturtium. See Water Cress and Tropaeolum.
