Propagfatlon of Shrubs. Ed. American Florist : Will you kindly give nae informa- tion regarding the procedure in propa- gating (rooting) hardy shrubs from cuttings in frames in the summer as it is practiced by many nurserymen in climatic conditions corresponding to those of New York or Philadelphia? I refer to such shrubs as hydrangeas, deutzias, Philadelphuses viburnums, forsythias, etc. How deep should the frames be, and how much manure is required, or may this be omitted and the rooting made in a cold bottom? How high should the superstructure be which carries the cloth shades, and what material is best for the shades? Should the material be thick or thin, excluding much or little light, and when should they be removed in the afternoon? I would also like particu- lars as to watering, ventilating, and the best kind of sand to use; also, as to how early in the summer and how late in the autumn the cuttings can be handled in the frames to good ad- vantage. I should much appreciate answers to these questions and others that may suggest themselves on this subject. Penna. X. The writer has had the same ex- perience as the questioner, in that it was found very difficult to get data as io propagation of even the common- est shrubs. Bailey's "Nursery Book" gave in general terms, the art of graft- ing and propagation by cuttings, but did not go far enough for the searcher after knowledge in all its details. It is now possible to get itemized infor- mation
