Eugenia. J!wyrfa~rraP.
Grown from seeds when procurable ; also increased by ruttings
of firm shoots in sand in heat.
Eulalia. 2l~iscnnthus.
By seeds ; also division of clumps.
Euonymus : I’]DOII~WM, below.
Eupatorium. Colnposit@.
The greenhouse kinds are grown from cuttings of the growing
wood uncler glass in winter or early spring. Seeds may also be used
and the hardy herbaceous kinds are increased by division.
Euphorbia (Spurge). Euphorbia,cee.
A polymorphous genus, one of which is poinsettia (which see),
The annuals grow readily from seed. Some of the perennial
kinds may be divided. The fleshy kinds (simulating cacti) are
htindled from cuttings of stems. These cuttings are usually taken
in summer and allowed to dry somewhat before planting ; they
may be struck in sand and charcoal or even in coal-ashes. Some of
the succulent species may be grafted after the way of cacti.
Euphorbiacee. Euphorbiads.
The annual kinds are increased by seeds ; herbaceous sorts by
seeds and division ; succulent or fleshy kinds by cuttings in sand
and kept in a warm dry house. With t.he semi-fleshy species, as
poinsettias, as soon as the cuttings are taken off the old plants, immerse
them at once in water and then put in wet sand.
Euterpe. Pnl~na.cm.
Propagated by seeds in heat. See Pd~n,s, page 377.
Evodia. Rutnceoe.
Propagation by seeds ; for warmhouse species by cuttings of
half-ripened wood and also probably by root-cuttings. ti
Evonymus. Celnstracecz
Grown from seeds stratified and sown in spring, from cuttings
and layers. Cuttings usually make better plants than layers.
The deciduous species are usually grown from hardwood cuttings,
but the evergreen kinds are started under glass, from cuttings of the
growing or ripened wood. The small and weak kinds are grafted
on the stronger ones. The evergreen species will grow on the
deciduous kinds.
