CERATOZAMIA CHELONE. 2O5 



Ceratozamia. Cycadacecz. 



By seeds, and sometimes by suckers and divisions, 

 but imported plants give most satisfaction. See Cycas. 



Cercidiphyllum. Magnoliacece. 



Propagated by tender cuttings made during the sum- 

 mer, and slightly wilted before placing in the frames. By 

 seeds, when procurable. 



Cercis (Red-bud, Judas-tree). Leguminvscz . 



Propagated by seeds, sown about the end of March,on a 

 bed of light soil, in a gentle heat. They may also be in- 

 creased by layers, but plants raised from seeds thrive best. 

 It is not necessary to stratify the seeds. C. Japonica is 

 grown from soft cuttings in early summer. 



Cereus. See Cactus. 

 Ceropegia. Asclepiadacc&, 



Propagated by cuttings of small side shoots made in 

 spring, which will root in sand, in heat, with or without 

 a glass covering. 



Cestrum, including Habrothamnus. Solanacecz. 



Propagated by cuttings in August, or whenever the 

 wood is fit. 



Chamaecyparis. Conifer <z. 



Propagated by seeds freely, also by layers, but mainly 

 by cuttings put in during October in a cool greenhouse. 

 Select young side shoots with a heel ; insert in well- 

 drained pots of sandy soil, and place in a close cold- 

 frame, keeping fairly moist through the winter. In Feb- 

 ruary they should be callused, and should be placed in 

 gentle heat, where they will root freely. See Retinospora. 



Chamaerops, including Corypha. Palmace<z. 



Increased by seeds, or by suckers, which generally 

 appear in considerable quantities. 



Chamomile. See Anthemis. 



Chard. See Beet. 



Chcilanthes. See Ferns. 



Chelone ( Turtle-head ) . Scrophulariacece. 



Increased by means of seeds. Also by dividing the 



plant during fall. Young cuttings inserted in sandy soil 



in a coldframe grow well.
