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 cyclopediaofamer02bail Year: 1906 624. Propagating-box or hood. require a second or third year's growth in the nursery; others are ready for permanent planting, as willows and poplars, which often grow 6 feet the first year. This is one of the very cheapest ways of propagating, and will pay where only 25 per cent root. This method is generally with deciduous-leaved plants, but some conifers, e. g., Siberian arborvitse, will strike. Remove enough twigs to get a clean stem for plant- ing, and allow 2 or 3 inches of top above ground. 626. Long cuttings of ripened wood. strong-growing sorts be planted out in well pre- pared beds in May or June, where they are likely to make a satisfactory growth. The weaker kinds can re- main a year in pots or flats, be wintered in a pit, and planted out the next spring. Some greenhouse plants, e. g., Camellia Lavrest-inns, tender grapes, etc., are propagated in this way with cuttings of fully ripened wood, and others, as cactus, draciena, etc., with wood which is much older. They .should be given the care described under the head of (1) Cuttings of Growing Wood, but they must not be forced too hard at first. The temperature should be regiilated by the nature of the plant. The safest rule to follow is to give a few de- grees more heat fur propagating than the plant received when tile c\ittinf,' was nuioved.
