Part of the leaves are re- moved, as a rule, before these firm- wooded cuttings are set, as shown in the rose cutting. Fig. 74, and the hydrangea cutting. Fig. 75. This is not essential, however, but it lessens evaporation and the ten- dency to '' flag'' or wilt. In most species the top can be cut off the cutting, as seen in Figs. 60 and 75, but in other cases it seriously injures the cutting. Weigelas are likely to suffer from such behead- ing ; an unusually large callus 75- Hydrangea cutting (xj^). forms at the bottom, but the leaves shrivel and die.
