Gardening; Vegetable gardening. 340 AROUND THE YEAR IN THE GARDEN â »(3» ng â¢3fy.«.^,eg. a few small pieces of charcoal have been dropped to keep it pure. One or the other of the foregoing methods is, however, usually more satisfactory. For several days after the cuttings are put into the sand they should be kept shaded during the hottest part of the day. If they show any tendency to wilt give them an occasional sprinkling with a plant sprinkler or, if that is not at hand, with a clothes sprinkler or a wet whisk broom. The sand itself, however, will not need another watering for some daysâ not until it begins to dry out on the surface. The ends of the cuttings callus over before any roots be- come visible, and during this stage the cuttings are Ukely to rot if the sand is kept too moist. If possible give the cut- tings box bottom heat. Set it up on two or three blocks or bricks on a radiator, or sup- port it over a register. If neither of these is possible a simple propagating arrangement may easily be made as follows: Line a cracker box (A) with cheap tin, or old metal roofing, cutting in the bottom a niunber of large holes with an auger or with an expansive bit. To this bottom nail a six-inch section of another cracker box or a shallow cooky box (B). Cut a section from one side of the whole box for a door (C), holding it in place with leather straps or cheap hinges. Make this door large enough to admit an ordinary hand lamp (D) or a small oil stove so that it can be put in and taken out conveniently. Bore a small hole in the door so you can see the flame of the lamp when it is in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Rockwell, F.
