CHAPTER XIV. 



ENGRAVING SHOWING ALBA PLENA TWO YEARS OLD, 

 FROM A CUTTING OF TWO EYES, WITH ONE BUD. 



FIGURE 15 represents alba plena two years old, from a 

 cutting of two eyes. This two-year old plant, which is in 



a three-inch pot, is four inches 

 high, with one bud. This 

 bud will come to maturity 

 and open a good flower, but 

 it will evidently weaken the 

 plant very much. 



I advise all flower buds 

 to be rubbed off of plants so 

 young, and also rub or cut 

 the top eye out, which will 

 cause the plant to break and 

 bush. 



Do all within your knowl- 

 edge to make the plant grow 



Alba plena, two years old, with Str n g and bush y f r the fal1 

 one bud - of the third and fourth year, 



when it can be allowed to produce buds and flowers with- 

 out any injury to the plant.
