Single eye mature wood cuttings are often made. no. 102—ODD WAYS OF STARTING PLANTS FROM CUTTINGS 1. Seceional leaf cutting of begonia. 2. "Whole leaf" cutting of begonia. 3. Cactus cutting fastened to toothpick to be kept steady in cutting bench. when stock is scarce or costly in two popular ways. In the first case the wood is cut half way between nodes, the cuttings laid flat with eyes upward in the cut- ting bed and covered with an inch or so of soil. In the other style cuts are made, one a little above the bud and the other a couple of inches below. These cuttings are thrust vertically in the bed as far down as the buds. In each case the cuttings are generally started with bottom heat under glass about three months before work could be done out of doors. Froin the start the sand must be kept moist. Shading is often necessary. When the leaves ex-.
