Godetia. O~grnrc~.
l+q~agattxl by st~ls, which, in California, may be surface-sown
in late fall, or in February lightly covered in sunny or half-shady
places. In common garden culture, seeds are sown in spring.
Gomphrena (Globe Amaranth). 11 maranthacca?.
The common kind (G’. globosu) is annual and grown readily
from st~ls sown in the open. Yerennial kinds are propagated
ds0 by cuttings and division.
Gongora. O&itlwccYz.
lncrc~ascd by divisions. See &cl&k, page 3i%.
Gooseberry (1-libr.s G’rossdariu and IC. hirttdlum). Sa.rifragacea!?.
St4s, for the raising of new varieties, should be sown as soon as
wcall ~‘ured, in loamy or sandy soil, or they may be stratified and
sown together with the sand in the spring.
Siiiii(’ 2s for currants.
They are handled the
(.tuttings ti to Cy incl~es l,.,, env of the mature wood, inserted twothirds
their length, will grow in fair proportion, especially if taken
ilr August or Septt~ml)rr and stored during winter, in tlie same way
as currant cuttings ; but the gooseberry does not start so readily
from cuttings as does the currant. Single-eye cuttings may be
used for rare kincls. Stronger plants are usually obtained by
layers, and thtx I-Cnglish varieties are nearly always layered in this
country (althoug?l frequently grown from cuttings in England).
hIound-layering is usually cmployerl (the mounding being done in
.J1lIW, or when the new growth has reached severai inches), the
English varieties being allowctl to remain on the stools two years,
l)rit the Amt%c:tn varietks only one. Much depends on the variety.
The ljowning, for example, usually makes a merchantable plant in
one year after transplantin, (7 from the stools, but Smith Improved
iiii~)’ Tt’qUiR* tL year more. Layered plants are usually set in nursery
rows for a )‘t?ilr after removal from the stools. (Fig. Cl.9
Green-lay&q during summer is sometimes practiced for new or
rare varit&s. St.rong plants may also be procured by tip-layering,
its in the l)lack ra5pbckrry.
If it is clesirtlcl to tr;lin the weaker goos&erries in tree form, they
may 1)e grafted on the stronger-growing varieties.
