Propagated by cuttings from the half-ripened wood. Place in sandy soil, in a brisk heat. Also grown from root-cuttings.
Bouncing Bet. See [Saponaria].
Bourbon Palm. See [Latania].
Boussingaultia. Chenopodiaceæ.
Increased by seeds, and easily by means of the tubercles of the stem.
Bouvardia. Rubiaceæ.
The old plants should be cut back, placed in heat in a stove or pit, and freely syringed, which will cause them to break freely and produce a good supply of cuttings. They will root from any surface of the stem, and should be about two inches long. The cuttings should be dibbled pretty thickly into pots about five inches across. A good watering must be given without wetting and thereby injuring the foliage. Plunge the pots in bottom heat of about 70° or 80°, and cover with a bell-glass. Keep moist and shady during sunshine, till rooted. They are also readily and more easily increased by root-cuttings.
Bowiea. Liliaceæ.
Propagated by seeds or offsets.
Bowstring Hemp. See [Sanseviera].
