THE NURSERY-LIST 361 



Milla. Liliacece. 



Increased by seeds, bulbels (offsets) and by division. 



Millet (species of Panicum and of Setaria or Chsetochloa, and of 



other genera). Graminece. 



Annual hardy forage grasses grown from seed, usually sown in 

 summer for fall harvesting or feed. Barnyard millet usually 

 requires 1 to 2 pecks of seed to the acre ; foxtail and proso, 2 to 3 

 pecks ; German, 1 to 1| pecks. 



Miltonia. Orchidacea. 



Increased by dividing the pseudobulbs. See Orchids, page 372. 



Mimosa (Sensitive Plant). Leguminosce. 



Increased by seeds sown indoors and by cuttings of rather firm 

 shoots in sandy soil under glass. The common M. pudica grows 

 readily from seeds, sown under heat or in warm weather. 



Mimulus (Monkey-Flower. Musk-Plant). Scrophulariacea. 



Propagated by seeds from January to April. A mixture of loam, 

 leaf-mold and sand in equal parts is good ; keep in a temperature 

 of 60 until germination. Also increased by division, and cuttings. 



Mirabilis (Marvel of Peru. Four-O'clock). Nyctaginacece. 



Raised from seeds, sown in spring either under cover or outdoors, 

 usually the latter. 



Miscanthus (Eulalia). Graminece. 



* Propagation by seed and division of the clumps. The variegated 



forms of M. sinensis are increased by division. 



Moluccella. Labiatce. 



Grown from seeds, started indoors in February and March and 

 transplanted in May. M. Icevis, the shell-flower, may be sown in the 

 open where seasons are long. 



Momordica. Cucurbitacece. 



Raised from seeds sown in heat early in spring, or in the open 

 in the South. 



Monarda. Labiataz. 



Propagated by division of the roots in fall ; also by seeds, as for 

 other herbaceous perennials.
