Plant propagation
=Trillium= (American Wood-Lily, Indian Shamrock, Wake-Robin).
_Liliaceæ_.
Propagated by seeds and by divisions.
=Triteleia= (Triplet Lily). _Liliaceæ._
Propagated by seeds and by offsets.
=Tritoma.= See Kniphofia.
=Tritonia=, Aletris, including Montbretia. _Irideæ._
Young plants are raised from seeds; but generally increased
by divisions.
=Trollius= (Globe Flower, Globe Ranunculus). _Ranunculaceæ._
Seeds. Divisions in early autumn or spring. The seeds
should be sown fresh or a long time will be required for germination.
=Tropæolum= (Nasturtium, Canary-bird Flower, Indian Cress).
_Geraniaceæ_.
Seeds, started in-doors or in the garden. Tuberiferous
species by tubers or divisions of roots. Perennials sometimes
by cuttings in a frame.
=Trumpet Creeper.= See Tecoma.
=Tuberose.= See Polianthes.
=Tulipa= (Tulip). _Liliaceæ._
Seeds may be sown in boxes of light sandy soil, in late
winter, and placed in a cold-frame. The next season the
young bulbs should be planted in a prepared bed outside.
Bulbels may be detached from established bulbs when they
are lifted, and grown by themselves. This is the usual
method.
=Tulip-tree.= See Liriodendron.
=Tupelo-tree.= See Nyssa.
=Turnera.= _Turneraceæ._
Seeds, divisions and cuttings.
=Turnip= (_Brassica_). _Cruciferæ._
Seeds, where the plants are to remain.
=Tydæa.= See Gesnera.
=Typha= (Bullrush, Cat's Tail, Reed Mace). _Typhaceæ._
Propagation may be effected by seeds sown in a pot
plunged in water nearly to the level of the soil; or by
divisions.
=Ulex= (Furze, Gorse, Whin). _Leguminosæ._
Propagated by seeds or by cuttings.
=Ulmus= (Elm). _Urticaceæ._
Usually propagated by stratified seeds. Layers are sometimes
made, and suckers may be taken. The varieties are
grafted on common stocks.
=Unicorn Plant.= See Martynia.
=Uvularia=, including Oakesia (Bellwort). _Liliaceæ._
Seeds; usually by divisions.
=Vaccinium= (Swamp Huckleberry, Whortleberry, Blueberry, Bilberry,
Cranberry). _Vacciniaceæ._
