In moist land, cuttings can be made to grow even if set out late inthe spring, especially if top-dressed and mulched ; but if they are to bestarted on high, dry land, they should be out sufficiently early in theautumn to become rooted before winter. If our land is of a nature thattends to throw roots out of the ground,— and moist, heavy land has this. Currant Cuttings and Callus.(See Figs. A, B, C.) Varieties. 219 tendency,—it may be best to bury the cuttings in bundles, tied up withfine wire, on a dry knoll, below the action of the frost, and set them outearly—as early as possible—in the spring. At any season, the rows ofcuttings should be well top-dressed with fine manure, and, if planted inautumn, they should be so well covered with straw, leaves, or some litter,as not to suffer or be thrown out in freezing and thawing weather. Imanage to get half my cuttings out in the fall, and half in early spring. In the green-house, and even out-of-doors, under very favorable circum-stances, plants may be grown from single buds; and green wood alsopropagates readily under glass. A vigorous young plant, with roots attached, may often be obtained bybreaking off the suckers that start beneath the surface around the stems;and, by layering or bending bushes over and throwing dirt upon them, newplants are readily
