A good method is that rep- resented in Figure 56, which shows a pot, b, plugged with plaster of Pans at the bottom, placed inside a larger one. The earth is placed between the two, drainage material occu- pying the bottom, a, and fine soil the top, c. Water stands in the inner pot ^ as high as the dotted line, and feeds uniformly into the surrounding soil. The positions of the water and soil are frequently reversed, but in that case there is less space available for cuttings. A double pot, with moisture supplied in a surrounding cushion of sphagnum moss, is seen in Fig. i. Neumann's cutting-pot is shown in Fig. 57.
