Probably Japanese.-Cult, for its stiff foliage. Grows 18-30 in. high. Allied to the N. Amer. C. bullata, Schk. for Caricas is a rich loam, having perfect drainage. As the stem is succulent and tender, great care is nec- â essary to avoid bruising; hence pot-grown plants are much to be preferred to seedlings from the open ground. Seeds should be selected from the best and largest fruits and sown in a well-worked bed under a Blight shade. If seeds are quite dry or old, they should be soaked in warm water before sowing. The seed- ling plants are delicate, and require close watching at first to avoid damping-off. Soon as plants are well up remove the shading, and after the third leaf ap- pears they may be pricked out into a larger bed, or bet- ter, potted off in fairly rich soil. After plants are a few weeks old, and have been shifted once into larger pots, they may be set permanently outdoors in the tropics. Caricas seldom branch, but usually grow up- right like a palm, hence cuttings are not often avail- able. Sometimes small branches form, and these may be cut off and as readily rooted as most tropical deco- rative plants, provided the cutting is not too young and tender. In temperate climates, Caricas have been
