EOOTING EUONYMUS BADICANS. 



Will you give me some instructions 

 as to the best way and time to propa- 

 gate Euonymus radicans? I have just 

 received a shipment of the plants, and 

 the grower from whom I purchased 

 them advises me to propagate from out- 

 door stock in January, under glass. In 

 the columns of The Eeview, however, 

 I have recently read that summer is 

 the best time for propagation. Please 

 give me some further light on the 

 matter. J. N. — Mo. 



Euonymus radicans can be success- 

 fully propagated either in early August 

 or in winter. I prefer the summer cut- 

 tings, as they root much more quickly 

 than the winter ones if kept in a close 

 frame, shaded and freely syringed. 

 Flats are really preferable to frames, 

 however, because they can be moved 

 about. A flat 12x24 inches and four 

 inches deep will hold 200 to 250 cut- 

 tings and not one per cent will fail to 

 root, provided the cuttings, when taken 

 off, are plunged in fresh water and are 

 not allowed to dry at any time. Use 

 sandy loam in the flats, placing some 

 coal ashes or other material underneath 

 for drainage. These flats, if kept freely 

 syringed and properly cared for, will 

 be a mat of roots in eight weeks, when 

 they can be stood outdoors until cold 

 weather. Then they can be packed 

 away in a coldframe, under a bed of 

 dry leaves, for the winter. Or the lit- 

 tle plants can be potted up if required 

 for early spring sales. 



There is more leisure in winter to 

 make cuttings, but these take a much

longer time to root than the half rip- 

 ened wood in summer and will not make 

 as good plants for spring sales. If you 

 want strong field-grown stock, put the 

 young plants out in nursery rows. 

 Those from summer cuttings will make 

 fine plants the first season, far ahead 

 of what you can get from the winter 

 cuttings. If you wish to progagate 

 large quantities, and if you have the 

 necessary frame space to spare, I 

 would place the cuttings directly in 

 the frame instead of in the flats.
