house. Also propagated by layering, which should be 

 done at the end of July or the beginning of August. The 

 shoots selected should be denuded of a few of their leaves 

 at the base of the young wood, and a slit must be made 

 from this point upwards, extending through a joint of the 

 bare stem, so that a tongue is formed. This is the 

 method employed in Europe. See Fig. 31. 



In this country, always increased by cuttings. It is 

 necessary to have a slight bottom heat, and on it put four 

 or five inches of light soil, covered with clean sand. The 

 cuttings must be long enough to have a tolerably firm 

 base, and they should either be taken with a heel or cut off 

 at a joint, and firmly inserted in the soil. See Fig. 69, b.

 Stocks are obtained by seeds. The seeds are often 

 treated to scalding water before sowing, in the same man- 

 ner as locust seeds. Varieties are grafted or budded on 

 the seedlings, or they may be multiplied by means of 

 hard-wood cuttings in frames. 



Carpinus (Hornbeam). Cupuliferce. 



Increased by seeds, which germinate irregularly. Varie- 

 ties propagated by budding or grafting on seedling stocks. 



Carrion Flower. See Stapelia. 

 Carthamus (SafBower). Compositce. 



Increased by seeds sown in a gentle heat in spring. 

 Carya. See Hicoria. 

 Caryocar { Butternut ) . TemstrcBmiacecE. 



Increased by ripened cuttings, which will root in sand 

 in heat. Seeds, if obtainable. 



Caryophyllus (Clove-tree). MyrtacecE. 



Increased by cuttings of firm shoots with the leaves left 

 on. These will root if planted in sand in a moist heat. 



Caryopteris. Verbenacece. 



Propagated by seeds, by division, or by cuttings. 

 Caryota. Palmacece. 



Increased easily by seeds or by suckers.
