230 THE NURSERY LIST. 



Elder. See Sambucus. 



Elecampane (Inula Helenium}. Composite?. 



Propagated by seeds in open air in early spring ; but 

 generally by division of the stools. 



Elm. See Ulmus. 



Empetrum (Crowberry, or Crakeberry). Empetracece. 



Seeds. In summer, cuttings may be made, and should 

 be placed in sandy soil under glass. 



Encephalartos. Cycadacece. 



Increased by seeds. See Cycas. 



Endive ( Cichorium Endivia). Composites. 



Seeds, either in the open where the plants are to stand, 

 or under glass. 



Eomecon. Papaveracece. 

 Seeds ; also by division. 



Epacris. Epacridacece. 



Grown from tip cuttings in a frame in winter, with 

 bottom heat. The cuttings root very slowly. 



Ephedra. Gnetacece. 



Layers may be made from young shoots or branches. 



Epidendrum. Orchidacecz. 



The tall-stemmed section of this genus is increased by 

 cuttings, the section with short, thick pseudo-bulbs by 

 division. The former also occasionally produces vivip- 

 arous flower-scapes, thus affording a ready means of in- 

 crease. (See under Orchids.) 



Epigaea (Trailing Arbutus). Ericacecs. 



Increased with great difficulty by careful divisions of 

 established plants, and by layers. Seeds, when obtain- 

 able, can be used, but are slow to develop. Cuttings are 

 most successful. Use last year's wood in house in win- 

 ter, putting them in sand. Pot them up as soon as estab- 

 lished, and keep them in pots until they are set into per- 

 manent quarters. 



Epimedium (Barren wort). Berberidacece. 



Sometimes increased by seeds. During July or August, 

 divisions of the roots can be made.
