paratively high priced and as they ger- 

 minate much harder than seeds of 

 other conifers, and require consider- 

 able time and attention, propagation 

 by grafting is much more advan- 

 tageous. 



Grafted plants grow very easily and 

 will in four months be much stronger 

 than three-year old seedlings. Begin- 

 ning the middle of March the tips cC 

 the branches are taken and simply 

 grafted on the roots of the parent 

 plant. These grafts are bound up with 

 oiled woolen thread, and planted im- 

 mediately in small pots, and placed 

 in a house that is tightly closed up, 

 in about 50 or 60 degrees heat. There 

 they soon will unite and break into 

 growth, when we can begin with the 

 hardening off of the plants, and by the 

 first of .Tuly the majority will be so 

 far advanced that they can be planted 

 in a nursery. 



The closing up of the grafts with 

 bees-wax. as is necssary with other 

 conifers, is not essential at all, but 

 Sciadopitys must be kept in a much 

 warmer temperature. Plants grafted 

 in this manner will yield ninety per 

 cent., in results.
