at nothing definite, it is as well to con- 

 sider now what the situation may be,

As a word by the way, it seems as 

 though this were the thne for advo- 

 cates of American-grown stock for 

 American nurserymen to push their 

 case. Perhaps the production in this 

 country of stock now obtained from 

 abroad may prove a necessity as well 

 as a matter of political economy an- 

 other season.

What is the best way to propagate 

 coniferous evergreens, such as biotas, 

 retinosporas, cupressus, juniperus, etc., 

 and also broad-leaved evergreens, such 

 as camellias, laurels, tea olives, rhodo- 

 dendrons, etc., all of which grow out- 

 side here, in Alabama f F. 6. 



Such coniferous plants as you name 

 can be propagated in two or three ways. 

 The retinosporas are chiefly increased 

 by cuttings inserted in sandy loam in 

 coldframes or greenhouses in July and 

 August. The frames or houses must 

 be kept close and shaded, and care 

 should be taken that the cuttings are 

 never allowed to become dry. Cuttings 

 are generally in a condition to be 

 planted out in coldframes in the spring, 

 where they can have some shade and 

 be carefully watered. The following 

 season they can be put in nursery rows 

 in the field. R. obtusa is usually in- 

 creased by veneer grafting. Dwarf 

 forms of retinosporas should always be 

 increased from cuttings, or they will 

 lose their characteristics. The retinos- 

 poras can also be increased from seed. 

 The same culture applies to biota and 

 cupressus. 



The junipers are usually raised from 

 seeds, which germinate slowly, as a rule 

 not until the second season, sometimes 

 even later. The low, spreading types 

 can be propagated by layering. Cut-

tings of wood in late summer can also 

 be used. 



Camellias can be grafted in small 

 pots under glass, or short cuttings of 

 the preceding season's wood, contain- 

 ing two to three eyes, may be used. 

 Plunging the pots where they can ob- 

 tain a little bottom heat facilitates 

 rooting. Laurels are most easily prop- 

 agated from cuttings. Rhododendrons 

 can be rooted from cuttings. Layer- 

 ing is also carried out to some extent, 

 but grafting on another rhododendron 

 stock is usually resorted to. R. Ponti- 

 cum as a stock would prove quite hardy 

 in your latitude. Graft near the roots. 

 The best time is December to Febru- 

 ary under glass. Kalmias, or mountain 

 laurels, are raised both from cuttings 

 and seeds. The latter plan is now 

 mostly followed. The sweet olive, os- 

 manthus, or Olea fragrans, is increased 

 by cuttings. The plants in the nur- 

 sery prefer partial shade. The fruit- 

 ing olive comes slowly from seed, and 

 usually the ends of the shoots of fruit- 

 ing plants are used. These will root 

 in a cutting bench under glass even if 

 2 to 3 years old. 



If you have even a small greenhouse 

 which can be devoted to propagation, 

 you can, with a little care, propagate

large quantities of evergreens. Full 

 details of culture are too lengthy to 

 be given in The Review, but there are 

 no special difficulties with the varie- 

 ties you have named. Some, however, 

 take a considerable time to make roots; 

 therefore, do not be of too nervous a 

 temperament and jump to the conclu- 

 sion that you cannot root them.
