Propagated by cuttings in sandy loam under a glass, in bottom heat.
Canarina, Pernettya. Campanulaceæ.
Propagated by divisions when repotted or by young cuttings in a sandy soil, in gentle warmth.
Candollea. Dilleniaceæ.
Increased sometimes by seeds, but usually by cuttings, which will root if placed under a hand-glass in a compost of equal parts loam and peat, with enough sand to render the whole porous.
Candytuft. See [Iberis].
Canella. Canellaceæ.
Increased by well-ripened cuttings taken off at the joint. They will root in sand under a hand-glass, with bottom heat, in spring; but care should be taken not to deprive them of any of their leaves.
Canna(Indian Shot). Scitamineæ.
Propagated by seeds sown in heat in late winter. The seeds are very hard, and germination will be materially stimulated if they are soaked in tepid water for twenty-four hours. They should be sown thinly in pans (a mixture of sand and leaf-loam is best for them), and a covering of one and one-half or two inches of earth is not excessive. It is a good plan to sow the seed singly in small pots. Also increased by divisions; they form a root-stock, each portion of which, with bud and roots attached, may be converted into an independent plant.
