and set on sand or moss. Cut in the leaves. New 

 plants will start from the axils. See Papyrus. 



Cyphia. Campanulacece . 



When the stems begin to push out from the root, cut 

 off as many of the shoots as are required, and place them 

 in small pots in an equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand 

 in abundance. The young plants should be kept dry 

 until callused, but not covered with glass. They may 

 also be increased by cuttings, under a hand-glass in a 

 cool house. 



Cyphomandra (Tree Tomato of Jamaica). Solanacece. 



Use seeds ; or cuttings may be placed under glass, in 

 bottom heat. 



Cypress. See Cupressus. 



Cypripedium (Lady's Slipper). Orchidaceez . 



By seeds sometimes ; usually by divisions. (See under 

 Orchids. ) 



Cyrilla. Cyrillacefz. 



Propagated by seeds and cuttings, like Andromeda, etc. 

 Cyrtanthus. Amaryllidacecz. 



Propagated by offsets. 

 Cytisus (Scotch Broom). Leguminosa. 



By seeds and layers. In spring, cuttings of young 

 wood may be taken when about three inches long ( with 

 a heel preferred), placed under a bell-glass in heat, or 

 in a close frame, where they will root readily. If grad- 

 ually hardened, potted and grown on, small flowering 

 specimens may be obtained the following spring. C. 

 purpurea is usually grafted on the common laburnum. 

 Species of Genista are propagated the same. 



Dacrydium (Tear Tree). Coniferce. 



Increased by fresh seed and ripened cuttings. 

 Daffodil. See Narcissus. 

 Dahlia. Composites. 



Commonly grown from tubers, which are dug in the 

 fall and stored in the cellar, like potatoes. Each fork of 

 the root may be broken apart and planted separately in 

 the field ; or the pieces may be started on early in pots 

 or boxes.
