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 cyclopediaofam02bail Year: 1900 1050. Pool made attrai. 1051 A healthy clump of Joe Pye Weed and by removal in part of the foliage on the cutting. Some experience will be necessary to know the best temperatures for sand and atmosphere and the most desirable degree of ripeness in the wood to be taken, as they will vary somewhat with species. In general, any cutting of growing wood will form roots in moist sand at a temperature suitable for vigorous root growth of the plant. The increase of plants by cuttings has the advantages of being rapid and of allowing the perpetua- tion of any variation noticed on a portion of any plant. See Ciittiige. Whichever method of propagation is used, selection of stock for increase should be practiced. If by seed, then the best seed from the best plant should be taken. It is considered by many growers that seeds borne the least number of nodes from the root tend to produce dwarfer and earlier-blooming plants, while the opposite is equally certain. All plants vary, and often the seeds which will produce the most striking variations are the slower to germinate and weaker as seedlings, but any mistreat- ment of young plants is apt to be against any desirable improvement. The double flowered and highly colored forms of our gar- den plants are generally the results not only of intercrossing of species or selection, or both, but of intense and perfect culture. A poor, starved plant may not retrograde itself, but it is apt to produce seed which will vary to suit its location. In propagating by dividion, the aim should be not only tto secure vigorous plants but to select for increase such plant
