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 . often practiced, except with a few species, like and 11. hemisphwrica, which do not grow readilyfrom cuttings. Some species, especially those of thegroups of Cinnamomeffi, Carolinae and Gallicse, can beincreased by root-cuttings; the roots are taken up infall, stored during the winter in sphagnum or sand in afrost-proof room, and sown in spring in drills andcovered about 2 inches deep. The species of the last-named groups and some others are also often increasedby suckers and division. Budding and grafting is lessoften done with the W^ild Roses and should be avoidedfor Roses in shrubberies where the individual plantscannot be carefully watched; the stock usually throwsup suckers and outgrows the cion, often in a short time. and species the innumerable forms which often passgradually into each other. In no other genus, perhaps,are the opinions of botanists so much at variance inregard to the number of species. While some, asBentham and Hooker, estimate the number at about 30,.
