The cuttings can be put into flats tin ' 

 sliouhl be iiiaile in September with tw. 

 or three eyes of the current year'- 

 growth. A light loam is a good compos- 

 for the cuttings and a shaded bench ir 

 the greeiiliims(! is the jdace. Or, tlie t ut 

 tings can be put at once into the grouiM 

 in a coldfraine. They should l)e wintered 

 whether pro]iagated inside or out, in .1 

 coldframe and plantetl out the ftdlowiii:; 

 spring. Those who have raised them 

 from seed for a number of y(\ars think ii 

 the clieajiest method. Sow the seed iu 

 ^Maridi thickly in flats, co\ering a (|iiarfei 

 imdi. Ill ]\lay or .lune pot them otl' iiiln 

 Ii inch pots ami when there .are beiiche- 

 to spare shift iiity 4 inch ami grow then 

 on all summer inside, giving tluMu an 

 Is inch stake. In September set then, 

 oiitsiile ami let them get the fall frost- 

 slowly. This is nieiitioiieil because they 

 have ln^eii kejit indoors till Octidier, and 

 then, when put out, y;('t a sm ere frosi 

 that would kill them to the grouml. A 

 deep frame with the pots jdunged i- 

 the best place to winter them, removin;^ 

 the ol.ass co\ering in April so that the\ 

 .are in 110 way foict.tl. 



These plants a year old will be 1110-' 

 satisfatdory to -ell to your ciistonu'i- 

 aml being from jiots there is no risk ot 

 losing one. Some nadeis ma\' say ytu 

 can buy plants cheaper than ymi caii
