Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches, and a synopsis of the vegetable kingdom. Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. EPIG^A a brief epitome is here given. For fuller details, consult 5:202 and '8:15; also "The Nursery Book," which gives the experience of a specialist. Occurs in sandy and rocky woods, especially under evergreen trees in earliest spring. Thrives only in a humid soil and shady situations. Transplanted with difficulty. When a too great shock is received from difference of ex- posure, change of temperature, etc., it dies within 2 or 3 years, if established at all. Small plants must be pro- cured, removed without harming the roots, and planted under the same conditions of soil and exposure with the greatest care. They may also be taken up in late Sep- tember or October, new roots formed in the greenhouse or coldframe, wintered in a coldpit, but not planted until the second spring. Best on the north side of a hill, in light, sandy soil, mixed with leaf-mold. Once established it spreads rapidly. Prop, by division of old plants, layers or cuttings. Seeds are rarely found, but when found may be used, though slow to develop. rtpens, Linn. Trailing Arbutus. Ground Laurel. Mayflower.
