Stem Cuttings. — Cuttings of the stem di\ide them- selves into two general classes : those known as cuttings of the ripe, mature or hard wood, and cuttings of the green, immature or soft wood. The two classes run into each other, and no hard and fast line can be drawn between them. Haj-d-wood cuttings are made at any time from late summer to spring. It is advisable to make them in the fall, in order to allow them to callus before the planting season, and to forestall injury which might result to the parent plant from a severe winter. They may be taken as early as August, or as soon as the wood is mature, and be stripped of leaves. Callusing can then take place in time to allow of lall planting. Or, the cuttings taken in early fall may be planter" immediately, and be allowed to callus where they stand. All fall cutting-beds should be mulched, to prevent the heaving of the cuttings. As a rule, howe\er, hard-wood cuttings are buried on a sandy.
