This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ... place in two or three weeks; plants should stand a foot or so apart in the rows. The fruit is sometimes called alligator pear, but this name should be discouraged. See Persea, page 389. Azalea. Ericacece. Although azaleas and rhododendrons are united generically by many botanists, horticulturists usually think of them separately. The azaleas are of two cultural groups, --the Indian or greenhouse evergreen kinds, and the hardy deciduous kinds. The Indian azaleas (Azalea indica or Rhododendron indicum) are usually propagated by cuttings and grafting. The cuttings are preferably made of half-ripened wood in August, being struck in a frame with light bottom heat. The choicer varieties may be tongue-grafted or veneer-grafted either in summer or winter on cutting-grown stocks, handling them in a frame or propagatinghouse. New varieties originate from seeds, which are sown in frames or pots in spring; the soil should be sandy peat, or seeds may be sown in chopped sphagnum and plants pricked out as soon as possible. The young plants are handled in boxes or frames; they should bloom in two or three years. The deciduous outdoor azaleas are of many kinds. The Ghent azaleas are hybrids of A. sinensis, A. japonica or mollis, and others. The deciduous azaleas grow readily from seeds, handled as for A. indica. The named kinds are grown from heel-cuttings of mature wood taken in late summer and placed under glass. They are also veneer-grafted on any common deciduous potted stock in autumn under glass. Babiana. Iridacece. Multiplied quickly by seeds in pans in a mild heat. Also propagated by offsets or cormels in boxes or planted in the open. A year or two is required to produce blooming plants. Baccharis (Groundsel Tree). Composite. Propagation is by seeds, and by cuttings..
