are usually set directly in the open. If very early effects 

 are desired, however, the pieces may be started on in pots; 

 and this is always done by dealers, for they send out grow- 

 ing plants. As soon as frost comes in the fall, the tops are 

 cut, and the crowns lifted and stored in a dry, cool cellar 

 on shelves. Care must be taken that the cellar be given 

 plenty of air until the roots are thoroughly cured, else they 

 may rot. 



Cannabis (Hemp). Urticacece. 



Propagated by seeds sown in spring. 

 Cantua. Polemoniacea. 



Increased by cuttings placed in sand under glass. 

 Capparis (Caper). Capparidacece. 



Propagated by cuttings of ripe shoots, which will root in 

 sand under glass, in moist heat. Seeds, when obtainable. 



Capsicum. See Pepper, Red. 



Caragana (Siberian Pea-tree). Leguminosez. 



Propagated by seeds and by root cuttings ; the low- 

 growing shrubs by seeds and layers. Caraganas are gen- 

 erally increased by grafting on C. arborescens, which is 

 easily raised from seeds, sown when ripe or in spring. 



Cardamine (Lady's Smock). Cruciferce. 



Seeds. Propagated easily by division after flowering. 

 Cardinal-flower. See Lobelia. 

 Carex (Sedge). Cyperacecz. 



Propagated by seeds, or by division, usually the latter. 

 Seeds often lie dormant the first year. 



Careya. Myriacece. 



Propagated by division, or by ripened cuttings, which 

 root freely if planted in sand under a hand-glass, and 

 placed in moist bottom heat. 



Carica (Papaw-tree). Passifloracece. 



Propagated by cuttings of ripe shoots with their leaves 

 on. They root readily in a sandy soil and in a gentle 

 bottom heat. Seeds, when obtainable. Sow in heat. 



Carnation. Caryophyllacecs . 



By propagating by eeds, new varieties are raised. Sow 

 the seeds in spring, and in a slight hotbed or in a green-
