Plant propagation
=Erigeron=, including Phalacroloma, Polyactidium. _Compositæ._
Readily increased by seeds or divisions.
=Erinus.= _Scrophularineæ._
Seeds and divisions. After becoming established, they
propagate themselves by seed.
=Eriobotrya.= See Photinia.
=Eriodendron.= _Malvaceæ._
Raised from seeds sown in sandy soil, in heat.
=Eriogonum.= _Polygonaceæ._
May be increased by seed or division.
=Eriosema.= _Leguminosæ._
Propagated by seeds or cuttings.
=Eriostemon.= _Rutaceæ._
Cuttings, in sandy peat in spring, under glass, and with
gentle heat. Nurserymen propagate by grafting on small
stocks of correa.
=Erodium= (Heron's Bill). _Geraniaceæ._
Propagation is effected by seeds or divisions.
=Erpetion= (Australian Violet). _Violarieæ._
Propagated by seeds; also by division and cuttings.
=Eryngium= (Eryngo). _Umbelliferæ._
Seeds or carefully made divisions may be used for increasing
the species.
=Erysimum= (Hedge Mustard). _Cruciferæ._
Increased by seeds; the perennials by seeds and divisions.
=Erythræa=, Gyrandra, Hippocentaurea (Centaury). _Gentianeæ._
Propagated by seeds or divisions.
=Erythrina= (Coral-tree). _Leguminosæ._
Seeds. Young shoots can be taken in spring or early summer
with a heel, and placed in sandy soil, on a slight bottom
heat.
=Erythronium= (Dog's-tooth Violet). _Liliaceæ._
Seeds. Offsets or bulbels are usually employed, taken as
soon as the leaves dry away after flowering, inserting the
bulbels about three inches deep.
=Erythroxylon=, including Sethia. _Lineæ._
Place cuttings of half-ripened shoots in sand under a
glass, in heat.
=Escallonia.= _Saxifrageæ._
Suckers, layers. Cuttings of half-ripened wood strike in
sand, when covered with glass. Also by seeds.
=Escheria.= See Gloxinia.
=Eschscholtzia=, Chryseis (California Poppy). _Papaveraceæ._
Seeds may be sown in spring or autumn where the plants
are to flower.
=Eucalyptus= (Gum-tree). _Myrtaceæ._
Increased by seeds, which should be sown thinly in pans
or pots of light, sandy soil, and placed in frames. Also by
cuttings.
=Eucharis.= _Amaryllideæ._
Seeds may be sown as soon as ripe in a warm house. Offsets
or bulbels should be removed and potted off singly.
=Eucomis.= _Liliaceæ._
Increased by seeds, sown as soon as ripe, or by bulbels.
=Eucryphia.= _Rosaceæ._
The cuttings of young shoots are planted in sand under
glass.
=Eugenia.= See Myrtus.
=Eulalia.= _Gramineæ._
Freely increased by seed or division.
=Euonymus= (Burning-bush, Strawberry-tree, Wahoo). _Celastrineæ._
