THE NURSERY-LIST 309 



Erythronium (Dog's-tooth Violet. Adder's-Tongue) . Liliacece. 



Offsets or bulbels are usually employed for the European and 

 East-American species, taken as soon as the leaves die after 

 flowering. Most of the West-American species are grown from 

 seeds. 



Erythroxylon. Erythroxylacea. 



Cuttings of half-ripened shoots in sand under a glass, in heat, 

 are recommended. Seeds, if obtainable, may be employed. 



Escallonia. Saxifragaceoe. 



Seeds, when obtainable, may be used. Cuttings of firm wood 

 strike under glass. Layers and suckers are sometimes employed 

 for propagation. 



Eschscholtzia (California Poppy). Papawmceoe. 



Propagated readily by seeds where plants are to stand, which 

 should give blooming stock the same season. In gardens treated 

 as a hardy annual, although plants will bloom the second year ; 

 often self -sows. 



Eucalyptus (Gum-Tree). Myrtacew. 



Planted extensively in California. Grown from seeds gathered 

 as soon as the pods open. It is best to sow in a light loam in 

 flats ; young plants usually need shade. The seed is sown in 

 spring, and seedlings should be large enough for transplanting 

 to the field the following spring. As greenhouse subjects, eucalypti 

 may be grown from cuttings. 



Eucharidium. Onagraceae. 



Increased easily by seeds, sown usually in the open border in 

 spring or autumn. 



Eucharis (Amazon Lily) . AmaryllidacecB. 



Usually increased by offsets from the large bulbs, preferably in 

 spring. Sometimes grown from seeds, when obtainable, under glass. 



Euchlaena (Teosinte). Gramineoe. 



Propagated directly by seed, as for maize. 



Eucomis. Liliaceas. 



Increased by offsets, sometimes by seeds under glass.
