Junk 15, 1922 The Florists^ Review 21 Lemoinei and D. gracilis; Ligustrum Ibota and L. ovalifolium and some other varieties, will root within thirty- days. The above-named lilacs need more time. Now as to ventilation, do not give any until the cuttings are root- ing; then give a little and gradually decrease the spraying somewhat. When cuttings are calloused, a little venti- lation given on a cloudy day will do little harm, but the same amount given on a hot, clear day would be harmful. Boiled down, a few essentials needed for the successful propagation of de- ciduous green-wood cuttings are: Wood must be in a medium ripe condition; if too soft, damping off will result; care must be taken to prevent wilting be- fore and after insertion; cuttings must be sprayed lightly, but frequently, so that they will hardly ever appear dry for the first few weeks; little or no ventilation should be given until the cuttings are rooting; when the cuttings are rooted, reduce spraying materially, gradually increase ventilation and light, and later remove the sashes alto- gether and leave them off until freez- ing weather removes any foliage on the cuttings. These hints are intended for the many small growers who want to root some deciduous shrubs. Nurs- erymen and large propagators do not need such advice. C. W. TAKING PHLOX CUTTINGS. Will you kindly advise me of the method followed in ])ropagating peren- nial phlox from cuttings—the time the cuttings arc taken off, J. H. C—fan. The native varieties of Phlox panicu- lata and P. maculata are propagated by side shoots and by cuttings of well matured shoots. Cuttings should be taken from the young, vigorous shoots on the outside of the clump. The spring is the best time to take the cuttings. Place them in sand
