RECORD OF SHORT HARDWOOD CUTTINGS 



To determine what success might be obtained from short 

 hardwood cuttings, cuttings were taken from a number of trees 

 and shrubs directly from the plant in a dormant condition and 

 placed in an ordinary sand cutting-bed in a house where the 

 temperature was held as near as possible to a minimum of 35° 

 and a maximum of about 50°F. The cuttings were made from 

 four to six inches long. The following table shows the re- 

 sults obtained.
