A WOMAN'S HARDY GARDEN 



At the end of June take clippings about 

 a foot long, make a shallow trench in 

 good ground and plant them a couple of 

 inches deep. They should be well rooted, in 

 about six weeks. If the weather be dry, 

 after planting them, they must be watered 

 daily. The following spring they should be 

 reset, a foot apart, where they can grow 

 until transplanted to their final resting 

 place. I know a beautiful hedge of Cydonia 

 Japonica, or Japanese Quince, that has been 

 gro\Mi from cuttings. Privet can easily be 

 grown from cuttings, and I have raised Box 

 from clippings. Fortunately, the season was 

 a wet one, for if allowed to become dry 

 before being well rooted, they would prob- 

 ably have died.
