When a branch or part is caused to form roots, and then severed from the parent plant, the plant produced is a layer. Fig. 78 shows bow a vine of. Fig. 78. Propagating grapes by layering. the grape may be bent down, and covered at inter- vals with moist soil. Roots form at the nodes. (See Tl 68.) After these roots are sufficiently abundant, the vine may be cut into pieces, each piece having roots, and each planted in a new place as a complete plant. Layering is used to propagate grapes, raspberries, dewberries, and many other plants. Strawberries, dew- berries, blackcap raspberries, and many grasses, such as Bermuda grass, Johnson grass, some of the Musquite grasses, white clover, and some varieties of sweet pota- toes, naturally multiply by their prostrate stems, taking root at every node; and man, in practical Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Ferguson, A.
