THE NURSERY-LIST 259 



Briza (Quaking Grass). Graminece. 



Multiplied by seeds, sown where the plants are to stand. 

 Brodiaea, including Hookera. Liliaceoe. 



Propagated by offsets, which soon bloom when separated. Will 

 also grow readily from seeds, but it requires several years to flower 

 them. 



Bromeliaceae. Bromeliads. 



Many of the bromeliads produce good seed and are readily 

 propagated by sowing these in pans of fine sandy soil, and kept 

 in a moist temperature of about 75. Also increased by offsets 

 which are freely produced after the plants blossom. 



Bromus. Gramineoe, 



Easily increased by seeds sown in the open where the plants are 

 to stand. 



Broughtonia. Orchidacece. 



Increased by division, as for epidendrum. See Orchids, page 372. 



Broussonetia (Paper Mulberry). Moracece. 



Propagated by seeds, sown when ripe or kept till the following 

 spring; and by suckers and greenwood cuttings or cuttings of 

 ripened wood, in a cool house ; also by root-cuttings with slight 

 bottom heat and layers. The varieties are also sometimes budded 

 in summer or grafted in early spring on the roots of the type in the 

 greenhouse. 



Browallia. Solanaceoe. 



To have blooming plants for the holidays, they are propagated 

 by seeds sown in summer in flats or pans or pots. If large specimens 

 are desired, the seeds may be sown before midsummer, and the 

 plants kept from premature blooming. For outdoor bloom they 

 may be started indoors in early spring and transplanted into the 

 open when weather becomes warm. 



Brunfelsia, Franciscea. Solanacece. 



Propagated by cuttings of the new growth in spring or from 

 pieces of the ripe wood in autumn, placed in sand under glass in 

 moderate heat. 



Brunsvigia. Amaryllidacece. 



Grown from offsets of the large bulbs. See Amaryllidacece, page 



228.
