PROPAGATION OF SCIADOPITYS 

 VERTICILLATA. 



Editor HORTICULTURE: 



I was much interesited in looking 

 over HORTICULTURE for May 23. 

 The item which caught my attention, 

 and that interested me most, was on 

 the propagation of Sciadopdtys verti- 

 cillata by graft. I should like to know 

 whether any one has propagated it 

 after this manner in this country, and. 

 if so. who? Shall be glad to hoar from 

 any reader of HORTICULTURE who 

 has information on this point. 



I think that it would be very inter- 

 esting to know at just what time of 

 the year this work should be dooe 

 over here, ajid whether it is successful 

 outside of the old countrj-. P. T. B.
