SYRINGA Continued 



BUDDING. Budded on Ligastrum (California Privet) the plant 

 flowers earlier than when propagated from cuttings. Bud in Sep- 

 tember, for the sap in Privet is running very late. Such budding 

 also results in dwarfing and less suckering. 



LAYERS. Also useful because very sure. 



SUCKERS. 



TAMARINDUS. Tamarind. 



SEEDS. Readily grown from seed sown in hotbed or in greenhouse, 



with bottom heat. 

 CUTTINGS. Under glass. 



TAMARIX. Tamarisk. 

 SEEDS. Fine, cover lightly. 

 *CUTTINGS. Hard wood, use long cutting; plant in open soil in 



Autumn or Spring. Soft wood in Summer. 

 LAYERS. 

 TAXODIUM. Bald Cypress. 



SEEDS. Sow in Spring. Germinate quickly. 



CUTTINGS. Use young shoots in Summer. Sand and water method 



should be successful. 

 GRAFTING. The weeping form, the variegated, and the Oriental 



species, are grafted on common stock. Grafting in Spring outdoors, 



near the soil. Shade the cions with paper or flower pot. Or in 



August the plants may be veneer grafted in greenhouse. 

 TAXUS. Yew. 



SEEDS. Wash seeds free from pulp and keep in damp sand, until 



Spring. 

 CUTTINGS. This is the method 



usually employed. Use green 



cuttings under glass or mature 



shoots in Autumn placed in 



frames. It takes 12 months 



for some to root.

 Juniperus, pp. 133, 198, for 

 more extensive notes). 

 SEEDS. Good for many forms. 

 Sow in Spring. Water fre- 

 quently. (See p. 45.) 

 CUTTINGS. For golden form use 

 cuttings made in January. The 

 Siberian Arborvitae must be 

 propagated by this method as 

 it does not come true from 

 seed. (See p. 73.) Fig. 101. A Yewberry
