Chloanthes. Verbenaceæ.
Propagated by cuttings of young shoots, which root freely in sandy soil under glass.
Choisya. Rutaceæ.
Increased by ripened cuttings.
Increased by seeds to obtain new varieties; these should be sown in spring. Division may be made, but this is not often practiced. Usually propagated by cuttings of firm, healthy, short-jointed shoots, about three inches long. They should be made in spring, and placed near the glass of a rather close frame having a temperature of about 45°. No bottom heat should be given. If inserted in pots, only the lower leaf should be removed; if in beds the remaining foliage should also be trimmed to admit air. The soil should be made of equal parts of sand, leaf-mould and loam, spreading a layer of sand over the top. Insert about one-half of the cutting, press the soil firmly, and water. Leaf cuttings have been employed. Inarching and grafting may also be performed.
Chrysobalanus (Coco Plum). Rosaceæ.
Increased by seeds when procurable. Large cuttings, however, taken off at a joint without shortening any of their leaves, will root readily if planted thinly in a pot of sand, and placed in moist heat with a bell-glass over them.
Chrysocoma (Goldy-locks). Compositæ.
Propagated by seeds, or by cuttings of half-ripened shoots, placed in sand under glass.
