CAROB CASHEW. 2OI 



house. Also propagated by layering, which should be 

 done at the end of July or the beginning of August. The 

 shoots selected should be denuded of a few of their leaves 

 at the base of the young wood, and a slit must be made 

 from this point upwards, extending through a joint of the 

 bare stem, so that a tongue is formed. This is the 

 method employed in Europe. See Fig. 31. 



In this country, always increased by cuttings. It is 

 necessary to have a slight bottom heat, and on it put four 

 or five inches of light soil, covered with clean sand. The 

 cuttings must be long enough to have a tolerably firm 

 base, and they should either be taken with a heel or cut off 

 at a joint, and firmly inserted in the soil. See Fig. 69, b. 



Carob, Algaroba, or St. John's Bread (Ceratonia siliqua). 



Leguminoscz. 



Stocks are obtained by seeds. The seeds are often 

 treated to scalding water before sowing, in the same man- 

 ner as locust seeds. Varieties are grafted or budded on 

 the seedlings, or they may be multiplied by means of 

 hard-wood cuttings in frames. 



Carpinus (Hornbeam). Cupulifercz. 



Increased by seeds, which germinate irregularly. Varie- 

 ties propagated by budding or grafting on seedling stocks. 



Carrion Flower. See Stapelia. 

 Carthamus (Safflower). Composite?. 



Increased by seeds sown in a gentle heat in spring. 



Carya. See Hicoria. 



Caryocar (Butternut). Ternstrcemiacecz. 



Increased by ripened cuttings, which will root in sand 

 in heat. Seeds, if obtainable. 



Caryophyllus (Clove-tree). Myrtacece. 



Increased by cuttings of firm shoots with the leaves left 

 on. These will root if planted in sand in a moist heat. 



Caryopteris. Verbenacece. 



Propagated by seeds, by division, or by cuttings. 

 Caryota. Palmacecz. 



Increased easily by seeds or by suckers. 

 Cashew See Anacardium.
