Campsis (Trumpet-( ‘recper). Uigtaitrt~iW~Xf.
Propagated by seeds, by greenwood cuttings under glass, by
hardwood and a.lso by root-cuttings and layers. The plant is
mostly known as l’~co~~ta (rather than Cctrn~~is) radicans.
Canistrum. Brou1 fzituw.
Propagation as for nidularium, which see.
Canna. (Iall ~1c(0’m.
The named garden cannas a,re propagated by division of the
large branching roots or rhizomes. Every large eye, with some
root. and rhizome attached, ma,y form an independent plant,. Weak
eyes usually protlm*c relatively weak plants, unless handled with
special cart’. These rhizome-cuttings are start.ed in pots or boxes
under glass, so that the plants may be a half foot. or foot high when
planting-out t.irne comes with warm wea,thcr. The entire clump of
root.s may be plant,ed directly in the open if one does not need to
multiply the,plants, or only partial tlivision may be made ; this
gives stronger plants or masses under ordinary conditions. Fig. 57.
Seeds grow readily if well matured, w,lt,hough they usually gerniinat,e
slowly ant1 irregularly unless cut or filed t,o let in t.he
moisture. If sown in lat,e wint.er or early spring over good bott.om
heat and the plants shifted as needed, blooming plants may be had
the first year. Seeds give rise to new varieties, or at least to
variations.
Cannabis (Hemp). Morncf~.
Grown from seeds sown in spring.
Cantua. Fol~~~n,on inrfw.
Handled by cuttings placed in sand under glass ; little known
in North America.
Capparis (Caper). CSqqmridarrcr.
In warm countries, grown from seeds. In greenhouses and cold
climates, propagated by cut,t.ings of ripe shoots in sand under glass.
Capsicum : I’f ppf r.
Caragana (Siberian Pea Tree). Lcgumin.os~.
Seeds are sown in autumn or spring; if kept dry over winter,
they are soaked in warm water before sowing. Root-cuttings
