Epilobium (Willow-herb). Onagrarieæ.
Propagated by seeds, divisions or root-cuttings.
Epimedium (Barrenwort). Berberideæ.
Sometimes increased by seeds. During July or August, divisions of the roots can be made.
Epiphyllum. Cacteæ.
Readily grown from cuttings. Pieces of the branches four to six inches long are placed in sandy soil in gentle heat, and kept moderately dry. Epiphyllums are often grafted on strong stocks of pereskia (Pereskia aculeata is commonly used, but P. Bleo is equally as good), for the purpose of getting high or rafter plants. A young shoot is cleft-grafted into any portion of the pereskia which has become hard, and the cion is held in place by a cactus spine passed through it. Several cions may be inserted along the sides of the stock.
Eranthemum. Acanthaceæ.
Seeds. Cuttings root readily in spring in peaty soil, in a close frame where there is a bottom heat of about 70°.
