EXERCISE XVI 



A STUDY OF ONE-EYE, TWO-EYE, THREE-EYE, MALLET, 

 AND HEEL CUTTINGS 



Material. Grape canes, stored and rooted cuttings of the grape. 



These cuttings fall under the general head of hardwood cut- 

 tings, but they represent different forms which are best suited 



to certain plants. 

 The plant which 

 lends itself best 

 to the study of 

 these forms of 

 hardwood cut- 

 tings is the grape. 



1. A one-eye 

 cutting is a hard- 

 wood cutting con- 

 taining one well- 

 developed and 

 mature bud, with 

 a small piece of 

 the branch on 

 each side of the 

 bud. These cut- 

 tings are laid flat 

 when planted. 

 Make a natural- 

 size drawing of 

 a one-eye cutting 

 of the grape. 

 How long is this 

 cutting ? Label, 

 and describe. 



2. A two-eye 



and a three-eye cutting are cuttings containing two and three 

 buds respectively, with a small portion of the branch at each end. 

 Make a natural-size drawing of each cutting. How long are
