rect propagation of the varieties them- 

 selves? With apples, we are now ex- . 

 perimenting with the possibility of 

 propagating more than sixty varieties 

 by root cuttings. We have found that 

 with practically all varieties roots de- 

 velop above the graft union. With 

 many of our common varieties, like 

 Northern Spy, Baldwin, Gano, Smoke- 

 house, and a number of others, about 

 fifty per cent of the trees develop their 

 own roots above the union. Cuttings 

 can be made from these roots and varie- 

 ties actually i)ropagated bj' root cut- 

 tings. We are giving a great deal of 

 time and study to this method of direct 

 propagation and it is probable that our 

 report another year may be devoted al- 

 most exclusively to this phase of our 

 work. 



Bose Stocks. 



The subproject which deals with 

 roses ])robably takes as much time and 

 thought as any part of our work. As 

 with every other phase of nursery ac- 

 tivity, there are almost as many ideas 

 regarding the best stocks for roses as 

 there are men handling them. In our 

 rose stock experiment we are using 

 stocks now in use commercially; name- 

 ly, Manetti, canina. Seven Sisters, Mme. 

 Plantier, Wax Rose, Ragged Robin, cin- 

 namomea, nuiltitldra jajxiiiica and ru- 

 gosa. In addition to tliesc commonly 

 grown stocks, we are using a seti^era 

 Wichuraiaua, miiltiflora cathayensis .-ind 

 l>olyantha, Soulieana, setigcra, rubri- 

 folia and several others. Soulieana, 



setigera and rubrifolia come readily 

 from seed, the rest of our stocks from 

 soft-wood and hard-wood cuttings. With 

 all our newer stocks, our seedlings and 

 cuttings trace back to individual mother 

 plants. One hundred thousand soft- 

 wood cuttings will be put in this sum- 

 mer for our stock work. About ten or 

 twelve hybrid teas will be budded on 

 these stocks. A supply of bud wood of 

 each variety is being worked up this 

 year, the buds all tracing back to one 

 mother plant. As all our bud wood of 

 each variety will traco back to one 

 mother plant, and as our newer 

 stocks all trace back to one plant, we 

 believe that the possibility of varia- 

 tion, due to the individual plant, has 

 been reduced to a minimum. We can- 

 not give you any definite information 

 regarding rose stocks, but we believe 

 that in the rose stock test which is now 

 under way at Rell, and which we hope 

 later to repeat in different localities, 

 we liave laid the basis for real def- 

 inite information.
