Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofam01bail Year: 1900 Although it is tender plants, in the main, which are propagated by cuttings of growing wood, the above methods can be practiced advantageously with some hardy plants. The wood, which is invariably successful if hard- Mcd, is obtained either inin plants forced for iis purpose, e. g., spi- i-a, Deiitzia gracilis, tc, or it is gathered in and July out of doors, e. g., lilac, hy- drangea, etc. Cuttings of growing wood should be potted in 2- or 3-inch pots, in a rather sandy soil, when the roots are from K-K inches long. It is sometimes good economy to box them, i. e., plant them a few inches apart in flats, when not immediately re- quired.
