Propa- gated by seed or green cuttings under glass. Ceratonia (Carob Tree).—An evergreen tree bearing pesrshaped flowers, succeeded by long pods containing a sweet tasted, mucilaginous pulp. Propagated by ripe wood puttings planted in frames, or from fredily gathered seed. Cercldiphyllum.—A slender, rapid-growing, hardy, deciduous tree, introduced about twenty years ago from Japan under the name of C. japoniea. It has small, smooth, heart-shaped leaves, of a purplish color while young. Pi-opagated by green cuttings, made of the tips of the twigs during the summer, planted in sand in a close frame in a propa- gating house. I have found that the cuttings strike root more readily if slightly dried or wilted before they are placed in the frames. The leaves should be cut away, leaving only two or three of the terminal ones. Cerds (Judas Tree, Eedbud).—^A genus of three species, one each in America, Europe, China and Japan; the former two small trees growing twenty to thirty feet high, the latter a stocky shrub six to eight feet. Propa- gated by seeds kept in moist sand over winter, and by layers. Chammcyparts (Cypress, "White Cedar, Etc.)—^An extensive genus of coniferous trees, according to the re- cent re-arrangement and classijScation of the Ooniferce. It is represented in this country by three species: the White Cedar (C ihyoides), the Lawson Cypress (C Lawsoniana), and Nootka Sound Cypress (C Nutkaensis) of the Pacific Coast. The Setini^ora
