It is a fascinating task,this taking of portions of one plant and bydue process, obtaining from them numerousindividual plants, well-rooted and in shapefor developing into strong independentstocks. It is an operation too, with whichmost properly there is associated in theminds of people less mystery than formerly;the day when each plant slip must be pene-trated by an Oat liernel, the sprouting ofwhich was to exert some favorable influenceon the rooting otthe cutting, has forever.

It is the object of the presentpaper to consider briefly, step by step, thecourse ot successful propagation frombranch to plant, reference being had to theengravings presented herewith. The Beaxch. With the generality ofsoft-wooded plants, such as Geraniums,Abutilons, Heliotrope, Carnations, Ver-benas, Coleus, etc., the ends of newly formedshoots make the best cuttings. Care shouldbe observed to not take them when tooyoung, or pieces that are so short as to bevery succulent.
