HOTBEDS FOR PROPAGATION. 



Will you kindly tell me how to make 

 hotbeds to propagate roses, hydrangeas, 

 etc.f What temperature should they be 

 kept atf 0. H. C. 



It is not stated what classes of roses 

 and hydrangeas are to be propagated. It 

 is now somewhat late in the season to 

 prepare hotbeds for cuttings of hybrid 

 perpetual roses, hardy hydrangeas and 

 other outdoor slirubs. A great amount of 

 bottom heat is not needed. Some fresh 

 horse manure, which has been turned 

 over once or twice to allow the rank heat 

 to escape from it, should be mixed with 

 some leaves. This prevents overheating 

 and the manure retains an equal temper- 

 ature longer. Your hotbed may be either 

 phove or below the level of the ground. 

 We like to have the bed for cuttings come 

 a few inches higher than the surround- 

 ing ground. From eight to twelve inches 

 of manure, well tramped, is ample. Be 

 sure it is moist. If not, apply water to 

 it. Cover this with sandy loam to the 

 depth of three or four inches and well 

 firm it. Cover this again with a couple 

 of inches of clean sand. Water through 

 a fine sprinkler, and cuttings can then be 

 put in at any time. If desired, no loam 

 need be placed over the manure and only 

 sand used, but some growers prefer 

 sandy loam altogether. 



Cuttings require a close, moist atmos- 

 phere. It is difficult to give any exact 

 temperatures for summer propagation, 

 as climatic changes are so wide, but a 

 bottom heat of 70 to 74 degrees and top 

 heat of anywhere from 70 to 100 degrees 

 will be suitable. When rooted, of course, 

 less shade and more air can be given. 

 The glass can be whitened for shade, or 

 lath shadings used, the lath being best 

 after the cuttings are rooted. 



Hydrangeas, also other varieties of 

 shrubs with soft cuttings, can be readily 

 rooted in an ordinary greenhouse prop- 

 agating bench in summer. C. W^. 



THANK YOU.
