 Propagation and Planting 



209 



The currant may be propagated by division of the 

 parent plant, by layers or by hard wood cuttings. Which- 

 ever is used, the plants should be set in well prepared soil, 

 which is rich, fertile and well drained. Two-year-old 



Currant cuttings tied in a bundle and buried upside down 

 to callus. 



plants from cuttings are better for setting in the field, as 

 they are larger and can be handled more rapidly than the 

 newly rooted cuttings.
