Plant propagation
New varieties and stocks are grown from seeds, which are
usually stratified until spring. Green cuttings, handled in
frames in summer, are largely used. Cuttings of mature
wood will grow; also cuttings of the roots. Layers and
suckers are often employed. Varieties are extensively grafted
upon privet (_Ligustrum_), and common lilacs. Flute-budding
is occasionally employed. Lilacs will grow for a time when
worked upon the ash. Grafting succeeds well when performed
in the open air.
=Tabernæmontana.= _Apocynaceæ._
Increased by green cuttings, under glass, in moist heat.
=Tacca=, Ataccia. _Taccaceæ._
Seeds and division of the roots.
=Tacsonia.= See Passiflora.
=Tagetes= (Marigold). _Compositæ._
Seeds, sown either in-doors or out.
=Tamarack.= See Larch.
=Tamarindus= (Tamarind). _Leguminosæ._
Young plants may be obtained from seeds sown on a hot-bed
or out-doors in tropical countries. Cuttings, in sand
under glass in heat.
=Tamarix=, Tamarisk. _Tamariscineæ._
Increased by ripe cuttings under glass, the greenhouse
kinds in heat.
=Tansy= (Tanacetum vulgare). _Compositæ._
Seeds and divisions.
=Taxodium=, Glyptostrobus (Bald Cypress). _Coniferæ._
Seeds are usually employed. Layers. Cuttings of young
wood in wet sand, or even water, under cover. The varieties
of glyptostrobus may be veneer-grafted in August or September
on _T. distichum_.
=Taxus= (Yew). _Coniferæ._
Seeds, sown when gathered or else stratified. Layers.
Cuttings of green-wood under glass in summer, or of mature
wood as recommended for retinospora. The named varieties
are veneer-grafted in August or early fall upon the upright
kinds.
=Tecoma= (Trumpet-Creeper). _Bignoniaceæ._
Seeds, layers, cuttings of firm shoots, but most commonly
by root-cuttings.
=Terminalia= (Tropical Almond). _Combretaceæ._
Seeds; also by cuttings of green-wood under glass.
=Ternstrœmia.= _Ternstrœmiaceæ._
Seeds. Cuttings of the half-ripened shoots under glass, in
bottom heat.
=Testudinaria= (Elephant's Foot). _Dioscoreaceæ._
Grown from imported roots or seeds.
=Teucrium= (Germander). _Labiatæ._
Seeds, divisions, and the shrubby kinds by cuttings under
cover.
=Thalictrum= (Meadow-Rue). _Ranunculaceæ._
Propagated by seeds, and divisions. The varieties by
cuttings.
=Thea.= See Camellia.
=Theobroma= (Cacao, Chocolate-tree). _Sterculiaceæ._
Propagated by ripened cuttings, which should be placed in
sand, under glass, in heat.
=Thermopsis.= _Leguminosæ._
By seeds and divisions.
=Thrift.= See Armeria.
=Thrinax.= _Palmæ._
Seeds.
=Thunbergia.= _Acanthaceæ._
Seeds. Cuttings of firm wood in a frame.
=Thunia.= _Orchideæ._
