THE NURSERY-LIST 423 



Spondias (Hog-Plum. Otaheite-Apple or -Plum) . Anacardiacece. 

 Propagated by seeds sown in flats of light soil, covering to a depth 

 of 1 inch ; by cuttings of growing wood. 



Sprekelia. Amaryllidaceas. 



By offsets from the bulbs ; also by seeds when obtainable, as for 

 amaryllis, which see. 



Spurry (Spergula sativa). Caryophyllacece. 



Seeds, sown where plants are to grow ; for broadcast field cultiva- 

 tion, 6 to 8 quarts are sown to the acre ; annual, tending to become 

 a weed. 



Squash (Cucurbita, three species). Cucurbitacece. 



Propagated by seeds, when the weather becomes warm. 



Stachys, Betonica (Hedge Nettle. Woundwort). Labiatce. 



Multiplied by seeds, divisions or cuttings ; some species (as the 

 crosnes, chorogi, S. Sieboldii) increased by subterranean tubers. 



Stanhopea. Orchidacece. 



Increased by division of the old roots. See also Orchids, page 372. 



Stapelia (Carrion Flower). Asclepiadacece. 



Propagated by seeds when procurable ; commonly by cuttings in 

 heat. 



Staphylea (Bladder-Nut). Staphyleacece. 



Increased by seeds, sown as soon as ripe or stratified until spring ; 

 by suckers, layers, and cuttings of roots and of mature wood ; also 

 by greenwood cuttings from pot-grown plants. 



Statice (Sea-Lavender. Sea-Pink). Plumbaginaceos. 



The limoniums are now included in Statice. The genus com- 

 prises annual, biennial and perennial herbs. All are grown from 

 seeds, and the perennials also by division of the clumps. Certain 

 showy species are sometimes grown under glass, and these may be 

 increased by cuttings. Recent writers define Statice as comprising 

 Armeria, while the statices of gardens (with open inflorescence) be- 

 come Limoniums ; propagation similar for all. 



Staurostigma (Asteriostigma) . Aracece. 



Raised from seeds in heat ; also by division of tubers. See Aracece.
