points of the roots, possessing a strong bud. These crowns can
be oIGnc(l from an)’ wc~ll-cstiLl,lishccl bed in the fall, but they are
usually importrd. Plants may bc di\~icled in spring. Fig. 56.
Convolvulus (,Rindwecd) . ~o12Llolzlubac~?a~.
Anniia,ls and perennials ; the former are easily grown from seeds
sown in the open or under glass ; t,he latter by seeds, by cuttings
of young wood, and by division.
Corchorus (.Ju te). Tilicrcrcr.
Annuals i,af warm countries easiljv grown from seeds ; others are
perennial and grown from seeds, cuttings and division, but they
are little known in cultivat,ion.
Gordia. Bora.gin.m=vv.
Increased by seeds, cuttings of firm wood in heat.
Cordyline. Lilirwcr.
,Seeds when obtainable ; cut.tings ; root-cuttings ; air-layering.
The dractvnas of gardeners are cordy 1 ines. They are readily
handled, as dcscribecI by Eisele, by cutting tlie ripened stems or
trunks, from ~vhkh a.11 leaves ha\-c been removed, int,o pieces 2 to
4 inches long. Thc~e are la,id either in very light soil or in sand in
the propagating-!)(>(I, where they receilye a bottom heat of about
SO”? being barely oo\-erctl with sand or moss. The eyes soon
start into growth, and, as soon as thrxy have developed about six
leaves, these shoots are cut off wit,h a small heel and again placed
in the propagating -bed unt.il rooted, after which they are potted off
into small p&s in Ii&t soil, kept close until they become established.
The plant known in the market as Dracavra indiuisa grows readily
from seeds. Figs, 68, 92? 104, 119.

The annuals are readily grown from seeds started in the house or
