Propagation may be effected in any of the 

 following ways : Seeds, cuttings, grafts, or layers. 

 The former method is only adopted in the case 

 of new sorts and rare species, as it is a very 

 slow way of obtaining plants. Cuttings are used 

 in the case of the smaller growing sorts ; grafts 

 are used for most of the garden varieties, and 

 layers for almost any sort. The latter method 

 will be found to be the most suitable one for the 

 inexperienced propagator.
