Plant propagation
=Caliphruria.= _Amaryllideæ._
Propagated by bulbels. After flowering, the plants should
have a slight heat, and when starting into new growth should
be repotted.
=Calliandra.= _Leguminosæ._
Increased by cuttings of rather firm young wood, in sand
under a hand-glass, in heat.
=Calla.= See Richardia.
=Callicarpa=, Porphyra (French Mulberry). _Verbenaceæ._
Propagated by seeds, divisions or by cuttings of the young
shoots, with the same treatment as Fuchsia.
=Callichroa.= _Compositæ._
Increased by seeds sown in spring in a slight hot-bed, and
placed in the open border later; or if sown out-doors it will
still flower in the autumn.
=Callicoma.= _Saxifrageæ._
Propagated by half-ripened cuttings, placed in sandy soil
under a hand-glass.
=Calligonum=, Pallasia, Pterococcus. _Polygonaceæ._
Increased by cuttings, which will root in spring or autumn
if placed under a hand-glass.
=Calliprora.= _Liliaceæ._
Propagated by offsets, which should not be removed from
the parent bulbs until they are of good size.
=Callipsyche.= _Amaryllideæ._
Propagated by seeds and bulbels.
=Callirhoe= (Poppy-Mallow). _Malvaceæ._
Perennials by seeds, divisions of roots, and cuttings; the
annuals by seeds only. Cuttings should be started in sandy
soil in a frame.
=Calliopsis.= See Coreopsis.
=Callistachys.= See Oxylobium.
=Callistemon.= _Myrtaceæ._
Increased by seeds, and by ripened cuttings in sand under
a glass.
=Callistephus=, Callistemma (China Aster). _Compositæ._
Propagated by seeds, which should be sown under cover
in spring, or seeds for late plants may be sown in the open.
=Callitris=, Frenela. _Coniferæ._
Increased by seeds, or by cuttings inserted under a hand-light
in autumn, and wintered in a cold pit.
=Calluna= (Heather). _Ericaceæ._
Propagated by cuttings of the tender shoots inserted in
pure sand under glass in a cool house in autumn.
=Calochortus= (Mariposa Lily). _Liliaceæ._
Propagated by seeds, offsets, and by the tiny bulblets on the
upper portion of the stem. Sow seeds as soon as ripe, or
early in the year, thinly in pans, so that the young plants
may pass a second season in the seed pots on pans. Place
in a cool house or frame, and keep the plants close to the
glass during their early stages, as they are very liable to
damp off. Early the third season pot off and plant singly,
encouraging them to grow freely. The offsets are best removed
when the plants are in a dormant state, placed in pots
or pans, or planted out in pits or frames until they reach
flowering size.
=Calodendron.= _Rutaceæ._
Increased by cuttings of half-ripened wood placed in sand
under a glass, in gentle bottom heat.
=Calophaca.= _Leguminosæ._
Propagated by seeds. May be grafted on the common
laburnum.
=Calophanes.= _Acanthaceæ._
