dibble. The pans containing the cuttings should be kept 

 in a box or coldframe, without being covered with glass, 

 but shaded during bright sunshine. In the following 

 spring, such as have struck will begin to push, when they 

 need to be placed in a gentle heat. Make cuttings during 

 winter while one-year-old wood is dormant. Inarching or 

 grafting is done in early spring, as soon as growth com- 

 mences (Figs. 138, 139). 



Camomile. See Anthemis. 



Campanula (Bell-flower, Slipperwort). Campanulacece. 



Increased by seeds. The perennials are also propa- 

 gated by dividing the roots, or by young cuttings in 

 spring. 



Camphora (Camphor-tree). Lauracece. 



Increased by cuttings and seeds. 

 Campion. See Silene. 

 Candollea. Dilleniacece. 



Increased sometimes by seeds, but usually by cuttings, 

 which will root if placed under a hand-glass in a compost 

 of equal parts loam and peat, with enough sand to render 

 the whole porous. 



Candytuft. See Iberis. 



Canella. Canellacea. 



Increased by well-ripened cuttings taken off at the joint. 

 They will root in sand under a hand-glass, with bottom 

 heat, in spring ; but care should be taken not to deprive 

 them of any of their leaves. 



Canna (Indian Shot). Scitaminece. 



Propagated by seeds sown in heat in late winter. The 

 seeds are very hard, and germination will be materially 

 stimulated if they are filed (see page 18) and then soaked 

 in tepid water for twenty-four hours. They should be 

 sown thinly in pans (a mixture of sand and leaf-loam is 

 best for them), and a covering of one and one-half or two 

 inches of earth is not excessive. It is a good plan to sow 

 the seeds singly in small pots. Seeds give new varieties. 

 Also increased by divisions ; they form a large crown or 

 stool of strong buds, each portion of which, with bud and 

 roots attached, may be converted into an independent 

 plant (Fig. 27). Named varieties are multiplied in this 

 manner. For ordinary planting-out, the divided crowns
