number of times. Probably the most 

 extensive work of this kind has been 

 that of Prof. Shaw, of the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural Experiment Station. 

 The difficulty \^th this method of 

 propagation has been the relatively 

 .small number of cuttings which root. 

 Propagation of certain varieties of 

 pears by hard-wood cuttings was for- 

 merly practiced in the south, but was 

 never undertaken elsewhere. Direct 

 propagation of certain plum varieties 

 by layeiing has been demonstrated to 

 be commercially practicable. 



We are interested in another form of 

 vegetative propagation which appar- 

 ently has been given little attention; 

 namely, propagation by root cuttings. 

 We simply worked with the material we 

 had assembled this year: French crab 

 seedlings, Minnesota and Vermont seed- 

 lings. The cuttings which gave the best 

 results were about two to three inches 

 in length and about one-eighth inch in 

 diameter. These were lined out in nurs- 

 ery rows in March and April and given 

 the simplest kind of treatment. 



At the Chicago convention I was talk- 

 ing with a nurseryman and telling him 

 what we were attempting to do with 

 root cuttings. He said, "Mr. Scott, it 

 isn't practicable; it can't be done." 

 All I can say is, it has been done. We 

 have been able to raise good trees and 

 we believe it will prove practicable. 



Our next step is to see whether we 

 cannot propagate varieties themselves 

 direct from root cuttings. Dr. Quaint- 

 ance, of the bureau of entomology, has 

 kindly turned over for our use approxi- 

 mately 1,000 apple trees which have de- 

 veloped their own roots. These trees
