Black raspberries and strawberries are propagated exclusively by this means. The black-cap strikes root readily at the end of the shoot, as shown in Fig. II, and strawberries (Fig. Ill) throw out numerous runners, which strike root at intervals
. Biennial report of the Oregon State Board of Horticulture ... Horticulture -- Oregon; Fruit-culture -- Oregon; Gardening -- Oregon. 430 REPORT OF STATE BOARD OF HORTICULTURE. Stolons—Increasing plants by their ability to avail themselves of new ter- ritory by striking root at the end of the branches is of great economic importance to the nursei'yman. Black raspberries and strawberries are propagated exclusively by this means. The black-cap strikes root readily at the end of the shoot, as shown in Fig. II, and strawberries (Fig. Ill) throw out numerous runners, which strike root at intervals along their course and give a large increase per plant. Layers—The distinction between layers and stolons is that in the case of stolons the act of striking root is wholly dependent upon natural conditions,. Fig. III. while layering is a voluntary operation on the part of man. A layer is a branch placed in contact with the earth for the purpose of inducing the formation of roots, the shoot or branch remaining the meanwhile attached to the parent plant. Layering is a favorite method- of multiplying woody plants, which strike root from cutting with difficulty. The quince, currant, gooseberry are easily multiplied by stools, which is a form of layering shown in Fig. IV. The grape is easily increased from layers made by bury- ing a cane at intervals or throughout its whole length ; roots and branches are thrown out at the nodes or joints and each one forming roots may be used as an independent plant by de- taching it from the parent. Such a layer is shown at Fig. V. The growth.
