Firming the plant in the pot. PROPAGATION wood trees, shrubs and vines such as rose, lilac, dier\illa and hydrangea. For outdoor work they are made usually before midsummer; indoors, during- late winter. They are cut and treated about the same as are hardwood cuttings. Frequently they are secured in summer after the buds have developed and the wood is nearly mature. Two to five buds are usually allowed. The cuttings are set only a couple of inches deep at most in frames sheltered from sun and wind. Until the roots have formed they are kept closely covered and are often sprinkled to keep the air about them humid. 179. Grape cutting storage experi- ment—A bundle of grape cuttings was placed in dust as soon as made, another in sand, a third half in sand, and a fourth in the same cellar but without protection. In spring when planted in the nursery, best results were secured with the dust-stored cions, next best with those in sand and poorest with those left uncovered —only about 20 per cent of dust- stored cions. 180. "June-struck cuttings" are made from the young shoots of Various hardy shrubs such as privet, weigela and hydrangea. The two to three-inch cuttings partly stripped of their leaves are started under glass. Thev must be very carefully shaded.
