quince, grown for its attractive early spring bloom, is commonly 

 known as Cydonia japonica; later as Chcenomeles japonica, and 

 now as Chcenomelcs lagenaria. 



Chamaebatiaria. Rosaceae. 



The Spiraea, or Sorbaria, Millefolium of nurserymen ; seeds in 

 spring, as for spiraeas, or by heeled cuttings of half -ripened wood in 

 summer in slight bottom heat. 



Chamaecyparis (White Cedar). Pinacece. 



Raised from seeds freely, sown in spring, also by layers, but 

 mainly by cuttings of mature wood put in a frame or greenhouse in 

 autumn and kept cool and close over winter; in spring, gentle 

 bottom heat is applied. The retinosporas (which are juvenile 

 forms of other species) are grown in this way from cuttings, and 

 also many forms of C. Lawsoniana. Other species are veneer- 

 grafted in winter on seedlings. Dwarf kinds lose their small 

 stature if grafted. 



Chamaedaphne (Leather Leaf). Ericaceae. 



Propagated by seeds in peat or on live sphagnum moss, scarcely 

 covered, kept uniformly moist and shady. Layers and suckers are 

 employed ; also mature wood cuttings under glass in late summer. 

 C. calyculata is the Cassandra and Andromeda calyculata of nurseries. 



Chamaedorea. Palmacew. 



Grown from seeds. See Palms, page 377. 



Chamaerops. Palmacece. 

 Grown from seeds, and freely from suckers. See Palms, page 377. 



Charieis. Compositce. 



Propagated by seeds, either planted in the open or sown indoors 

 and transplanted. C. heterophylla is the Kaulfussia amelloides of 

 seedsmen. 



Cheiranthus (Wallflower). Cruciferce. 



The perennials are grown from cuttings taken in autumn and 

 carried over winter in a frame or coolhouse. The annuals and 

 biennials are readily raised from seeds. 



Cherry (Prunus avium, P. Cerasus, etc.). Rosacece. 



Cherry stocks are commonly grown from seeds. If the ground 

 is in readiness and is in proper condition, the seeds may be planted 

 in fall, or even as soon as they are ripe. If stored until spring, they
