It is a common practice to cut the branch about half in two obliquely, on the lower side. This ope- ration is known as "; "Ringing" or girdling, twisting, notching, and various other methods are employed, none of which, perhaps, possess any peculiar advantages in general practice. Some propagators cut all the buds from the covered portion. In this case the free and protruding end of the layer is expected to form the top of the new plant. " Arching," or very abrupt bending, as in serpentine layering, serves the same purpose and is the only attention necessary in most vines. A "tongued" carnation layer is shown in Fig. 31. The layered stem is at S, and the root is seen to have formed from the tongue. This method of propagating carnations is common in Europe, but the plant is always grown from cuttings in 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 Bailey, L.
