For the cuttings select nothing but perfectly healthy wood of good color, using heel cuttings where the growth is barely ripened. These should be sprinkled as soon as removed, being careful to take off a small quantity at a time, to prevent the wood from wilt- ing, this being a most serious drawback. If heel cuttings should be used very lit- tle trimming is necessary when one has sufficient room, but a sharp knife should be used to trim the heel and to remove some of the leaves at the base, so as to allow the cuttings to be placed about one and one-half inches apart in the sand. Heel cuttings may be made two to four eyes in length, placing the longer cuttings at the back of the bench. These should be at least two inches between the rows, and American Beauty cut- tings may require twice as much as this: they should be two-eyed cuttings and be placed so that the foliage will not overlap. The sand should be pressed firmly each side of the row as they are.
