Petekson Nursery, Chicago, is re- 

 moving its city oflSces from the thirteenth 

 to the tenth floor of the Stock Exchange

 securing adjoining rooms as needed, but 

 the present removal will mean consolida- 

 tion and much larger facilities. 



PROPAGATING PRIVET. 



Please state when is the proper time 

 to start California privet and the best 

 length of cuttings to make. I shall 

 be glad to get instructions from some- 

 one who knows how to propagate privet 

 successfully. U. G. H. 



A start can be made now in the pre- 

 liminary work of the propagation of 

 California privet. Taking everything into 

 consideration, the rooting of cuttings of 

 the wood made during the past season 

 is perhaps the most satisfactory method. 

 At any time now this wood should be 

 cut, made into about 6-inch lengths and 

 tied up into bundles. These should be 

 stored away for the winter in a cool 

 shed or cellar and covered with soil or 

 sand, so to remain until the state of the 

 weather in early spring will permit the 

 planting of the cuttings in nursery rows 

 in the open ground. 



Before the work of putting in the 

 cuttings in spring commences, it is impor- 

 tant that the ground be well dug and 

 afterward raked to an even surface. 

 Then a line should be stretched and 

 an even trench excavated with a spade. 

 The cuttings can then be taken, by the 

 bundle, in the hands of the planter, 

 who will be able to lay them rapidly 

 against the edge of the trench, putting 

 in just enough soil to hold them in 

 place. Another man follows and com- 

 pletes the filling in, also firming the soil. 

 The cuttings may be placed about two 

 inches apart in the rows, and the rows 

 should be at least fifteen inches apart, 

 in order to allow freedom of growth, as 

 well as freedom of action in the subse- 

 quent cultivation of the soil. 



In the following spring the young 

 plants should be transplanted and placed 

 about six inches apart, in rows a little 

 wider apart than those from which they 

 were removed. 



I have had remarkable success in the 

 propagation of privet from young wood 

 taken early in July. These I put in a 

 soil composed mainly of leaf-mold, in a
