CUTTINGS No herbs are so easy to propagate by means of cuttings as spearmint, peppermint, and their rela- tives which have underground stems. Every joint of these stems will produce a new plant if placed in somewhat moist soil. Often, however, this abil- ity is a disadvantage, because the plants are prone to spread and become a nuisance unless watched. Hence such plants should be placed where they will not have their roots cut by tools used close to them. When they seem to be extending, their borders should be trimmed with a sharp spade pushed vertically full depth into the soil and all the earth beyond the clump thus restricted should be shaken out with a garden fork and the cut pieces of mint removed. Further, the forked-over ground should be hoed every week during the remainder of the season, to destroy lurking plantlets. Glass-Covered Propagating Box
