Gazeau, a French in- vestigator, claims that strawberries may be rapidly propagated thus:. FIG. 60—STRAWBERRY PLANTS READY FOR SETTING 1. Potted runner plant three weeks after taking root. 2. Plant typical of those used in spring setting. This has gro\\n naturally in the field. 3. Same plant as in 1 with earth washed off, compared with plant of same age but not potted. When the runners first develop terminal buds with rosettes of leaves, they are layered with only the leaves exposed. Thus they are protected from accidents and the weather and are in most favor- able conditions for rooting. In about two weeks roots will have formed and the runners extended. These extensions may be rooted similarlj' and the operation repeate( six o/ eight or even more times. Mother plants ofte i develop six or eight runners, so this would mean 36 to 48 plants thus far. But the first rooted layers will also de- velop secondary runners soon after the primary ones have struck root and these secondary runners may be treated like the primary ones. Thus the number of plants would be limited almost wholly by the season, the efforts of the propagator and the space at command. But then the terminal buds ma\- lie used for making cuttings as soon.
