In the northern part of the country the 

 season has been so late in opening up 

 that nurserymen fear the sudden arrival 

 of summer before they can get away 

 with the big volume of business that Js in 

 sight. A short rush season never pans 

 out like one that is longer and more 

 deliberate. 



IMPROVING PEOPAQATION. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a bulletin (B. P. I. No. 202) 

 in which the subject of "The Seedling- 

 Inarch and Nurse-Plant Methods of 

 Propagation" in connection with trop- 

 ical and subtropical fruits and orna- 

 mental plants is discussed. 



The seedling-inarch method, it is be- 

 lieved, is destined to prove of the great- 

 est importance in a wide range of plant 

 industries in which the early fruiting of 

 a variety is desirable. This shortening 

 by a year or more of the time required 

 for the fruiting of a new variety is a 

 matter of such unusual importance as to 

 demand the widest publicity among all 

 interested in the cultivation. 



While investigating the asexual prop- 

 agation of some tropical fruit trees and 

 other plants, it was discovered that a 

 large number of hard-wooded shrubs and 

 trees are capable of a rapid increase 

 when propagated by processes which 

 may be termed the seedling-inarch and 

 nurse-plant methods. 



These methods are inexpensive and, 

 owing to their simplicity, may be used 

 by persons without previous experience 

 in the propagation of plants. The ever- 

 increasing number of plant breeders will 

 thus be enabled to save much time in 

 determining the value of hard-wooded 

 plants raised by means of hybridiza- 

 tion. The methods can be used in ma- 

 nipulating seedlings of rare trees and 

 shrubs intended for crossing, so that 

 each plant will bloom in a much shorter 

 time than if left to grow on its own 

 roots. Seedlings of all hard-wooded 

 plants resulting from collections made 

 by travelers in foreign countries maj' 

 thus be brought to the flowering stage 

 and their value determined quickly. 



The most remarkable feature of the 

 new methods lies not only in their sim- 

 plicity, but also in the certainty of the 

 unions which result. The writer has few 

 unsuccessful unions and none among
