Date (Phœnix dactylifera). Palmæ.
The seeds from commercial dates grow readily, and without the intervention of stratification. Special varieties are propagated by a sort of cutting, made by removing and rooting the sprouts which appear about the base of the tree. These root readily if taken off green and liberally supplied with water. They often begin to bear in five or six years.
Date Palm. See [Phœnix].
Datisca. Datisceæ.
