Gleditsia (Honct~* Lorust.). I,(lllll,11l,I’II.o.s~.
Seeds should 1~ sown in spring about 1 inch deep. They shouiri
be soaktvi in liot water before l9eing sown. Varieties arc propagatecl
1)~ grafts on seedling stock in spring, C. triacant~hos being
mostly usd as stock. Sometimes sptllled Ueditschia.

Offsets are commonly employed for propagation when they are
~9rotlucecl (d,o11t. the old hllh) ; seeds are readily used, started in
hot t om heat. The bulb-like tubers may be cut in two for purposes
of propagation.
Gloxinia (Sinn iugitl spmiosn.) . IhsnPriacc~.
Glosinia seeds should be sown the latter part of winter, in welldrained
pots or small pans of finely sifted soil, of peat, leaf-mold
and sand in ahout equal proportions. The seeds should be covered
slightly*, then carefully watered, and placed in a temperahre of
about w”. If seeds are sown in spring, blooming tubers should
be had the following winter.
Cuttings of the shoots may 19~: taken after the old tubers start
in spring, sncl placed in a propagating-frame. Leaf-cutt.ings,
with a small portion of the petiole att.ached, give excellent results,
especially when the leaves are firm and nearly matured.
Leaf-cuttings are made after the manner of Fig. 110 ; a little
tuber forms on the end of the leaf-stalk, and this is removed
and handled like any small tuber ; or the last leaf may be laid
flat, as for begonia, and the ribs cut at intervals. Also grafted
on tubers, much as for dahlia and peony. See GCN~.~P%DXZ.
Glycosmis. Rrctacm.
Cuttings nay be used, started under glass ; seeds, when obtainable.
Glycyrrhiza (Liquorice). Lqwninos~.
Propagated 19)~ division and by seeds ; roots left in the ground
after harvesting may produce a succeeding crop.
