Plant typical of thoseused in spring setting. This has grown naturally in the field. 3. Same plant asin 1 with earth washed off, compared with plant of same age but not potted. When the runners first develop terminal buds with rosettes ofleaves, they are layered with only the leaves exposed. Thus theyare protected from accidents and the weather and are in most favor-able conditions for rooting. In about two weeks roots will haveformed and the runners extended. These extensions may be rootedsimilarly and the operation repeatec six oi eight or even more plants ofte i develop six or eight runners, so this would mean36 to 48 plants thus far. But the first rooted layers will also de-velop secondary runners soon after the primary ones have struck rootand these secondary runners may be treated Hke the primary the number of plants would be limited almost wholly by thes
