PEOPAOATION OF CLEMATIS 



Please tell me how to propagate the 

 large blooming clematis, such as the 

 large purple and Jackmanii. 



C. S. E.— N. J. 



Propagation of clematis can be ef- 

 fected by grafting portions of well 

 ripened wood on the roots of one of 

 the more robust varieties. C. Flam- 

 mula is the favorite variety for this 

 purpose. Good, healthy portions of the 

 roots should be selected. The work 

 should be done in a greenhouse early in 

 the year. Cuttings cut up to single 

 eyes and placed in small pots in sand 

 or sandy loam in a propagating case 

 also will root. Layering is another, 

 but somewhat slower, method of prop- 

 agation sometimes resorted to.

SCTAIsE ON MAPLES. 



I am sending a few leaves from a 

 maple tree on which I have noticed 

 some insects, and I should like to find 

 out what they are. There are thou- 

 sands of them on the tree and they are 

 on some plum and apple trees also. 

 These insects have been on the trees 

 about four days. Can you suggest a 

 remedy! C. C. B.— O. 



For this scale spray the trees thor- 

 oughlyj using a fine, misty spray noz- 

 zle, with kerosene emulsion, nicotine, 

 Imperial soap spray, Aphine, or any 

 good proprietary soap or soap and oil 

 spray. When the leaves have fallen in 



the autumn, treat the trees with either 

 lime-sulphur or one of the soluble oil 

 solutions like Scaline or Scalecide, using 

 one part of the soluble oils to fifteen 

 to twenty parts of water. Be sure to 

 wet every portion of the bark and few 

 pests will remain. Be sure to do this 

 on a clear, sunny day and only when 

 the trees are absolutely dormant.

An important element in nearby 

 scenery is the ground cover. We usually 

 think of the ground as covered with 

 grass, and for most places there can be 

 no better cover than a rich, green, vel- 

 vety lawn. But there is not always 

 sufficient water to keep a lawn fresh and 

 green. Sometimes there are surfaces so 

 steep that it would be difficult and ex-
