Cuttings—continued. Cyananthus—continued, 
growth ceases, and the flow of sap is consequently less 
rapid. The length and size of Cuttings greatly depend on 
the variety of plant, those which are of medium growth, 
neither too sappy nor, on the other hand, too hard, being 
invariably preferred. Experience will alone teach the 
proper season, and the most successful method and suitable 
situation, for propagating by this method in different 
according to the various requirements of the plants 
to be increased, and the means at command for so doing. 
‘Shading, in spring and summer, is necessary in all cases, 
with tender Cuttings under glass, until they have formed 
roots. . 
Cuttings. Some plants may be increased by the 
insertion of a leaf with bud attached to the base. In the 
case of ornamental-leaved Begonias, Gloxinias, and others, 
young plants are obtained by the formation of bulbs on the 
petioles and midribs of the leaves, without the presence of 
an eye or bud.  Cotyledons, and some other succulents, 
e may be readily increased from leaves. 
5 . Root Cuttings refer to roots that ultimately form plants 
when cut in pieces and inserted in soil. This is ^ quick 
mode of propagating such plants as succeed. Cleroden- 
drons and show Pelargoniums, amongst others, шау be 
cited as examples,
