Stocks are obtained by seeds. The seeds usually have 

 more than one embryo, sometimes as many as ten. Each 

 embryo will produce a distinct plant. The embryos may be 

 separated before planting, but it is preferable to separate the 

 young plantlets soon after germination, before they grow to- 

 gether, as they are apt to do. The -seeds germinate better 

 if the hard shell is removed before planting. Seeds retain 

 their vitality but a few days, and if to be shipped for sowing 

 they should be enclosed in wax. Seedlings begin to bear 

 from the third to the sixth years. Varieties are inarched 

 upon other stocks.

 heat. For the propagation of M. Aipe, see Cassava
