Plant propagation
Propagated by cuttings; or by simply laying the leaf on
moist sand, and at each indentation upon the margin a plantlet
will appear.
=Bucco.= See Agathosma.
=Buceras.= See Terminalia.
=Bucida.= See Terminalia.
=Buckbean.= See Menyanthes.
=Buckeye.= See Æsculus.
=Bucklandia.= _Hamamelideæ._
Increased by cuttings of ripened shoots placed in sandy
loam under a hand-glass, in moderate heat. Water carefully,
for they are liable to rot off.
=Buckthorn.= See Rhamnus.
=Buckwheat= (_Fagopyrum esculentum_ and _Tartaricum_). _Polygonaceæ._
Propagated by seeds.
=Buffalo Berry.= See Shepherdia.
=Bugle.= See Ajuga.
=Bugle Lily.= See Watsonia.
=Bugwort.= See Cimicifuga.
=Bulbine.= _Liliaceæ._
Increased--the bulbous-rooted species by offsets, and the
herbaceous sorts by suckers and divisions. Also by cuttings.
=Bulbocodium.= _Liliaceæ._
Increased by offsets in a rich, sandy loam. Take up the
bulbs, divide and replant them every second year, handling
in autumn and renewing the soil or planting in new positions.
=Bulbophyllum=, Anisopetalum, Bolbophyllum, Tribrachium. _Orchideæ._
Propagated by division of the pseudo-bulbs.
=Bulbospermum.= See Peliosanthes.
=Bullrush.= See Typha and Juncus.
=Bumalda.= See Staphylea.
=Bunchosia.= _Malpighiaceæ._
Propagated by cuttings of ripened shoots, placed in sand
under a bell-glass, in moist bottom heat. Good drainage is
essential.
=Buphthalmum= (Ox-eye). _Compositæ._
Propagated in spring or autumn by divisions.
=Bupleurum= (Hare's Ear). _Umbelliferæ._
The annuals by seeds sown in spring out-doors; the herbaceous
perennials may be increased by divisions made in
autumn or spring, and the greenhouse species by cuttings
made in spring.
=Burchardia.= _Liliaceæ._
Propagated by offsets or divisions made just previous to
potting in spring. It is best to repot annually. Good drainage
should be allowed, and the plant must not be potted too
firmly.
=Burchellia.= _Rubiaceæ._
Increased by cuttings, not too ripe, planted in sand and
placed under a hand-glass, in a gentle heat.
=Burgsdorffia.= See Sideritis.
=Burlingtonia.= _Orchideæ._
Increased by dividing the plant. (See under Orchids.)
=Burnet.= _Rosaceæ._
Propagated by seeds and division.
=Burning Bush.= See Euonymus.
=Bursaria.= _Pittosporeæ._
Increased by young cuttings put in sand under a bell-glass,
with a little bottom heat.
=Bursera.= _Burseraceæ._
Propagated by cuttings placed under a bell-glass, with
bottom heat.
=Burtonia.= _Leguminosæ._
Some of the species produce seed in abundance, and these
form the best means of increase. By young cuttings, which
root freely in sandy soil in a cool house, with a bell-glass
over them.
=Butcher's Broom.= See Ruscus.
=Butomus= (Flowering Rush). _Alismaceæ._
