EUPHRASIA. 



Little hardy annuals (ord. Scrophularinese) of 

 practically no horticultural value. They grow in 

 ordinary soil in the border, and can be sown in 

 March or April. 



Principal Species : 

 lutea, U', Jy., pur. (now offlcinalis, 9", Jy., pur. 



Bartsia lutea). (sijn. alpina). 



EUPOMATIA.

 Ivs. This is correctly referred by later authorities 

 to Cleyera Fortune!, but the former name has 

 become too firmly fixed, horticulturally, to be readily 

 disturbed. 



EURYALE. 



One of the finest of tropical Water Lilies (onl. 

 NympliEeacerc), and only second to the Victoria 

 Kegia in point of size. Like the latter, it should be

and yellow, is evergreen, and can be increased by 

 seeds or cuttings placed in sandy soil in spring, 

 and given slight bottom heat. Peat and loam, 

 with sand, form a suitable compost. 



EURYA. 



A small group of evergreen greenhouse shrubs 

 (ord. TernstroBiniaceto), all of neat habit. The 

 variegated forms are invaluable for conservatory 

 decoration, and one, known horticulturally as lati- 

 folia variegata, is extensively grown for market to 

 meet the demand of floral decorators. Cuttings of 

 short, well-ripened growths may be inserted in 

 early autumn or spring, in sandy peat, and plaeed 

 in a close propagating case. Fibrous peat and 

 loam, with plenty of sharp sand, form a suitable' 

 compost. Growth is rather slow, both in the case 

 of cuttings and established plants.

raised annually from seed, and grown in rich soil 

 in a tank or tub of warm water in a stove. 



Only Species :

EURYCLES. 



Bulbous-rooted stove plants (ord. Amarylliderc), 

 that grow well in rich loam and leaf soil. They 

 require a decided resting period, when no water is 

 necessary. Treat like Pancratiums. Increase is by 

 offsets or seeds.
