THE NURSERY-LIST 281 



in 6-inch pots, but the best results, in pot plants, are to be obtained 

 in 8- or 10-inch pots or 12-inch pots started in November and 

 December. If the plants are to be used for decoration, they should, 

 of course, be grown in pots, but the best results for cut-flowers 

 are usually obtained by growing in the earth. In any case, the 

 cuttings are made from the tips of basal or strong lateral shoots 

 late in February to May. One form of cutting is shown in Fig. 1 18. 

 If the plants are to be flo\vered in pots in which case they usually 

 mature earlier the cuttings may be started as late as April, or 

 even June ; but if they are grown in the soil and large plants are 

 desired, the cuttings should be taken in February or March. The 

 plants which are flowered in the soil are generally grown in pots 

 until July. The plants are flowered but once, new ones being 

 grown from cuttings each year. 



Sometimes the old stools of florist's chrysanthemum are divided 

 before growth begins in spring, but this is unusual. Suckers, 

 partially rooted or used as cuttings, may also be taken from the 

 old crowns. 



Chrysobalanus (Cocoa-Plum). Rosacece. 



Increased by seeds ; also by cuttings of half -ripened wood. 



Chrysophyllum (Star- Apple). Sapotaceoe. 



Grown from fresh seeds ; also by cuttings of well-ripened shoots 

 in heat. 



Chufa (Cy penis esculentus). Cyperacece. 



Freely propagated by the little tubers, planted in spring where 

 the plants are to grow. 



Cicer (Chick-Pea. Garbanza). Leguminosce. 



Seeds sown in spring where the plants are to grow propagate 

 the plant freely. 



Cimicifuga (Bugbane). Ranunculaceoe. 



Grown from seeds sown when mature, the seed-bed being kept 

 cool and moist ; plants will probably not appear till spring ; also 

 from divisions in fall or spring. 



Cinchona (Peruvian Bark). Rubiacece. 



In greenhouses, propagated by mature-wood cuttings in heat 

 or from imported seeds. In the tropics by seeds, with only a thin 

 covering of earth ; protect from rain and sun and keep uniformly 

 moist ; transplanted when about 2 inches high.
