ig8 THE NURSERY LIST. 



Calophyllum. Guttifercz. 



Increased by cuttings made from the half-ripened 

 shoots, which root freely in sand if placed under a glass 

 in bottom heat. 



Calopogon. Orchidacecz . 



Increased by offsets taken from the tuberous roots. 

 Calothamnus. Myrtacece. 



Increased by cuttings of young wood, firm at the base. 

 Place in sand and cover with a hand-glass. 



Caltha (Marsh Marigold, "Cowslip" in America). Ranun- 



culacecs. 



Propagated by seeds sown as soon as ripe, or by divid- 

 ing the roots in early spring, or in summer after flowering. 



Calycanthus (Sweet-scented Shrub, Allspice). Calycan- 



thacece. 



Increased by seeds sown in a coldframe ; by divisions

 Propagated by seeds sown in spring, or by dividing the 

 plants. 



Camassia. Liliacecz. 



Propagated by seeds sown in a warm situation out- 

 door or in pots or boxes under glass. The young plants 

 should remain at least two years in the seed-beds. Also 

 increased by offsets, which are produced very freely, and 

 which should be removed either when in a dormant con-

 arranged in clumps or rows, placing a little sand about 

 them. 



Camellia, including Thea ( " Japonica," Japanese Rose). 



Terns trcemiacece. 



The single red camellia by either seeds, layers or cut- 

 tings. Double and variegated camellias by layers, but 

 cuttings will succeed. Seeds give suitable stocks on 

 which to inarch or graft the rarer kinds. The ripened 

 shoots of the preceding summer should be taken off in

 removed, and the cuttings planted firmly in the soil with a
