Other Plants Grown by Tip Layering.—There are a number ofplants which naturally propagate themselves by tip , many of our ornamental shrubs may be induced to form 46 CUTTINGS AND LAYERINGS new plants by this method. The golden bell, or Forsythia, verynaturally multiplies by this method. Plants which are not com-monly propagated by layering may be induced to do so if the twigis wounded at the point where it is covered with soil, and if theweather conditions are favorable. Willows, poplars, dogwoodsand others will easily form new plants in this way. The Strawberry has a special plan of propagation. Its run-ners take root at the nodes. (Fig. 31.) Mound Layering.—This method obtains its name from thefact that the soil is mounded up among the lower stems or method is resorted to because of the fact that root division is Tig. 31. Fig. Fig. 31.—Strawberries and many other plants naturally multiply by means of runners whichtake root at the tip or at nodes. Fig. 32.—A mound of 9oil among the stems of the gooseberry will cause roots to form in thissoil. Plants may then be multiplied by division. too slow, or may not be possible because of there being only onestem arising from the ground. When the soil is mounded up among the lower branches for aseason, roots will be sent from the lower branches into this soil.(Fig. 32.) At the end of the growing season the whole plant maybe taken up and divided by cutting these newly rooted branchesaway from the others. These may be planted as separateindividuals. Common Examples of Mound Layering.—The lilac, gooseberry,quince, althea and others may be easily propagate
