'■. SEA SAND FOR CUTTINGS. 



Much might be said in favor of the 

 use of*- sea sand for propagating, says a 

 writer in' the Horticultural Advertiser 

 (English). I believe I have previously 

 referred to the spbject, but I find there 

 are still many practical men who seem 

 afraid to use it. Quite recently I was 

 asked by a good propagator if it was 

 safe to use it for propagating purposes 

 and I could unhesitatingly say, yes! So 

 many seem afraid that the salt would be 

 injurious; there may be some plants 

 ■which would not succeed, but after many 

 years' experience I can say that I have 

 never found anything that would not 

 succeed equally well, if not better, in sea 

 sand, than in the ordinary silver sand. 



It may not be that the sand from all 

 parts of the coast would be suitable, but 

 I have had it from various sources and 

 have always found it quite satisfactory. 

 My first experience was with some of a 

 brownish color, which came from the 

 southwest coast. I put in cuttings of 

 over a dozen different subjects and did 

 not have a single failure. It is, however, 

 with the sand from Lowestoft that 1 have 

 had most experience. The quality of the, 

 sand varies; some is almost white and 

 clean, and I have had it of a dirty brown ; 

 this, when used for choice cuttings, re- 

 quires washing, but this is not much trou- 

 ble. A good shovelful may be put into 

 a pail of water and well stirred around, 

 the dirty water poured off and the sand 

 turned out on a bench or board to dry. 

 The great advantage of washing is that 

 it prevents caking, when the sand is used 

 for the surface. Some samples I have 

 seen have been coarse, and required sift- 

 ing before using for some purposes. 



In regard to the salt it contains, I be- 

 lieve it is beneficial rather than other- 

 wise. On one occasion I put in cuttings 

 of Clethra arborea, half of which I put 

 in Eeigate sand and the others in sea 

 sand. Under exactly the same treatment 

 the latter kept up quite fresh, while those 

 in Reigate sand withered down. I re- 

 member once a propagator objected to 

 use the sea sand for erica cuttings, but 

 later on I had a batch put in by another 

 man and I never saw ericas root better. 



The Review is the best and most up- 

 to-date florists' paper in my office. No 

 florist can afford to be without it. — John 

 M. Egan, St. Paul, Minn. 



I HAVE only been a subscriber to the 

 EEVIEV7 for about four months, but I 

 estimate it has saved me at least $25 

 in cash, paid out for stock, and I con- 

 sider it the best publication I receive.
