Root-cuttine of blackberry [ CUTTAGE from 1-2 inches long, the larger roots being selected, although the small ones will grow. They are planted in pans or flats, in soil composed of equal parts sand and well rotted leaf-mold. Ordinarily they are set hori- zontally. If planted vertically, in cuttings from the true root the end which was nearest the crown should be uppermost; but if made from the rootstock, that end should be uppermost which grew farthest from the crown. In either case they should be covered, as seeds are covered, and the whole made firni. Root- cuttings of hardy plants should be kept cool at first and broufrht into heat only when ready to grow. They may be kept in a pit or cool cellar. Tender plants require the same or a little higher temperature than that in which they thrive. In sweet potato, the tuber is cut lengthwise and laid, with the cut side down, on moist sand or mo.'is, the edges being slightly covered. Buds develop on these edges and are removed when of proper size aud treated as cuttings of growing wood, or \ m remain until rooted. In dracsena (see Fiu-.

The tuberous rootstock of Arum macula- tum, and plants of like nature, can be cut into pieces, remembering that the bud-producing portion of arum is the top, and each part will grow successfully.
