PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION 



This second edition is enlarged to include answers to many 

 questions relating to more definite information about propagating 

 plants. Thanks to the excellent notes of A. H. Hill and Marimis 

 Van Gleef, published since the last edition, the propagation of 

 evergreens is more thoroughly covered 



Again, the author expresses the hope that he may continue to 

 receive the advice of his readers so that the book may be gradually 

 built to still greater usefulness.
