312 OF FLOWERS. 





For grqffing and budding, (as some -|l-trut|S are 

 propagated this way) 'see the section C) G ruffing ; 

 and for the propagation by* suc^ers^ cuttings, }ai/crs, 

 &c. see section 4 ; about stickers, sjee pages, <37J l\% 

 Those trees, or shrubs, from : 'jivh.ich cut ting* f of $)$ 

 same year's growth niay be -"Had ' in Jun,e, 'or ^jfj6 

 may be greatly helped to strike root, by cpvering 

 them close with a 'hand-glass.; (as directe,d for Uip 

 arbutus, list 5, sect. 1 19) and if 'a glass ^ere put 



over layers, that are difficult to strik.^ it vtould li^lg 

 them. 



This mode of propagation is particularly adapt^4 

 to some sorts of evergreen shrubs, which emits fibres, 

 more freely from the youngest wppd. If year" old 

 wood is treated thus, the cuttings may be set early 

 in spring ; or glasses may be put over those put put 

 in autumn. But spring cuttings, treated as the 

 arbutus, is the surest method to make difficult sprti 

 strike root. 



It may prove an observation of some, uae, that 

 trees and shrubs raised from seed grow the largest, 

 from layers generally less, and from cyttings thie 

 Jeast. Where ; buddwg can be practjse(j ? it is pr,e|er^ 

 able to graffing for the propagation 1 of shrubs. M
