are very ormiraental. The greenhouse species 

 are increased by cuttings in spring in very sandy 

 soil under a bell-glass, and the hardy species by 

 layering. A mixture of three parts peat and one 

 part loam suits.

New Zealand and the Parrot-beak Plants. They are 

 evergreen shrubs and sub-shrubs that will grow 

 against a warm wall, but are better accommodated 

 in the greenhouse. Plants may be raised from seeds 

 in the greenhouse, but considerable care is re- 

 quired. Cuttings root easily in sandy peat under 

 a bell-glass, and a constant succession of young 

 plants will give more satisfaction than old stock. 

 A mixture of peat, loam, and coarse sand is best.

CLEYERA. 



A small genus (ord. Ternstrremiacea;) of green- 

 house evergreen shrubs, that thrive in fibrous peat 

 and coarse sand, and may be propagated from 

 cuttings in similar soil under a bell-glass. 



Principal Species : 

 japonic!!. 5'. A))., cream. 



CLIANTHUS. 



These brilliantly beautiful plants (ord. Legu- 

 minosai) are popularly known as the Glory Peas of 



Perfect porosity and drainage are essential to 



success. 



Principal Species : 



carueus, 4' to ;V, My. , flesh 



(now Streblorhiza speci- 



osa). 

 Dampieri, 3', Ap., sc. 



There are one or two 



excellent vars. of this 



species, including ger- 

 nianicus and margina- 

 tus (seep. 2>). 

 puniceus, 4', My., or. The 

 var, nmgnincus is very 

 handsome. 



CLICK BEETLE. (SKIP-JACK.) 

 The progenitor of the deadly wireworm, whose 

 destructive work is all too familiar alike to the 

 gardener and the agriculturist. There are several 

 kinds known to agricultural science, the larvn- of all 

 lieing classed as wireworms, and capable of doing 

 great damage. (For remedies, see WIBEWOSM.) 



CLIDEMIA. 



A number of shrubby plants constitute this 

 tropical American genus (ttnl. Melastom.'H'r.T). 

 The stems are hairy, the loaves silky, and the 

 flowers rose or white. Propagated by seed* and 

 cuttings. Sandy loam and leaf soil for oompnst. 

 and a position in a cool stove, will meet their 

 requirements.
