DROSERA EL^AGNUS. 22Q 



Droaera (Sundew). Droseracecs. 



Seeds, sown as soon as possible after gathering. D. 

 binata is increased by cutting roots from strong plants 

 into pieces of one-half or one inch in length, and placing 

 them on the surface of shallow earthenware pans, in 

 sandy peat soil, and covering about one-half inch deep 

 with the same material. They are then placed under a 

 bell-glass, and transferred to a damp, warm propagating 

 house. This will suggest treatment for other species. 



Drosophyllum. Droseracecz. 



Propagated by seed. 

 Dutchman's Pipe. See Aristolochia. 

 Eccremocarpus (Calampelis). Bignoniacea. 



Seeds, sown in spring, in a gentle heat. Cuttings may 

 be used of green or ripe wood. 



Echeveria. See Cotyledon. 

 Echinacea. Composites. 



Readily propagated by seeds and division. 

 Echinocactus. See Cactus. 

 Echinops (Globe Thistle). Composite. 



Sow the seeds in spring for the propagation of the bi- 

 ennials, and divide the perennials early. Also by root 

 cuttings. 



Edelweiss. See Leontopodium. 



Egg-Plant (Solanum Melongend]. Solanacece. 



Seeds in heat, in late winter or spring. Cuttings rarely. 



Eglantine. See Rosa. 



Eichhornia (Pontederia azurea of florists). Pontederiacea;. 

 Propagation is effected by division in spring ; seeds. 



Elaeagnus (Oleaster, Wild Olive, Goumi). Elceagnacece. 



Increased by seeds, layers or cuttings. Hard-wood cut- 

 tings of E. hortensis strike readily. The named varieties 

 are often grafted on the most vigorous varieties obtain- 

 able. Imported seeds of some species are apt to be 

 empty. E. longipes can readily be propagated by cut- 

 tings of the half-ripened wood in June and July, under 

 glass,
