EUCOMIS. 



(Strong-growing bulbs (or/I. Liliaceac) from South 

 Africa; they are hardy enough to succeed in light 

 soil in a sheltered spot, but in many places are best 

 grown in the greenhouse. Kich loam is the best 

 i-i i' >t ing medium. Give liquid manure freely during 

 the season of growth, but withhold moisture when 

 the plants are resting. Increase is by offsets.

EUCROSIA. 



Ornamental greenhouse bulbous plants (crd. 

 Amaryllidea'). Propagation, by offsets inserted in 

 any light compost; the (lowering bulbs require 

 a substantial loam. The plants must have a 

 distinct rot ing period.

EUCRYPHIA. 



Pretty evergreen shrubs or trees (prd. RosaceaV), 

 some of which are hardy in mild districts, while 

 the others require a little winter protection. They 

 grow best in peat and loam, and are propagated by 

 layers or cuttings of the young shoots in sand 

 under a bell-glass.

 house trees and shrubs, possessed of considerable 

 economic value, the Rose Apples ami Malay Apples 

 being produced respectively by Jambos and malac- 

 censis. 1'ot or plant in loam and peat or leaf soil.

EULALIA. 



Very ornamental plants (urd. Graminea;) for 

 borders or lawns, or for growing in pots or tubs for 

 decorative purposes under glass. The correct name 

 is now Miscanthus, but they are grown in gardens 

 under the name of Eulalia. They grow in any 

 good garden soil, and are propagated by division 

 in spring.

EUGKNIA MYUIOl-HVLLA. 



EULOPHIA. 



Terrestrial Orchids (or A. Orchidacoae) from 

 Africa and the East Indies. The pseudo-bulbs are 

 thick and compressed, the leaves large, the spikes 

 erect, and the flowers remarkable for the large- 

 sized lip. Well-crocked pots or deep pans are 

 suitable receptacles, and a good compost consists 

 of fibrous loam, flaky leaf soil, small crocks, and a 

 little broken charcoal. Potting should only be 

 ilone when new growth commences. Give water 

 freely when growth is vigorous, but sparingly at 

 oilier sea.-oiis. South African species thrive in ;'. 

 warm greenhouse, but others in the stove.
