[Concluded from pace 64.] they must be freely syringed and not exposed to the direct sun's rays. Some evergreens root much more quickly than others. Euonymus radi- cans roots easily in June and July, when the new growths are still a little soft. It also roots readily later in the season from mature wood, particularly if it can have a little bottom heat. The various privets and jasmines also root either from soft or mature wood. The privet cuttings can be taken just before winter sets in, tied in bundles, buried in the ground and set out closely in nursery rows in early spring, taking care to tramp them in firmly. Box propagates readily if set out in the same , provided the cuttings are not taken from too thick or old wood and are thoroughly firmed in the rows, or they can be placed in frames in early spring if desired. Be sure, however, that box never suffers from lack of water. English ivy is of easy propagation in spring, summer or fall in frames, but outdoors it would be doubtful, unless the weather should prove ideal for propagation; that is, damp, cool and cloudy. The hottest weather is not so suitable for propa- gation as spring and late summer, the latter period being the best for the bulk of evergreens. If by magnolia figs you refer to the handsome southern evergreen tree, Magnolia grandiflora, you wiTl not have any success in propagating it from soft wood. Save the seeds which ripen in September or early October and keep them in dry sand over win- ter; then, two weeks before sowing in flats, change to damp sand, after which wash them well before sowing. Pot off singly, and later plant out- doors. You will find this method of propagation preferable to trying either soft or mature wood. Layering, how- ever, can be done, but you should pot the layers and keep them under glass until established, rather than set them directly outdoors. With a p
