PROPAGATING EVERGREENS. 



I am starting a small nursery here 

 on the Gulf coast of Texas, and ex- 

 pect to make a specialty of broad- 

 leaved evergreen shrubbery. Most of 

 these seem to come from cuttings all 

 right, but are uncertain when put in 

 the open ground. I understand that 

 they can be propagated with much 

 more certainty under glass, in a so- 

 called close atmosphere. What I wish 

 especially is shrubs like box, euony- 

 mus, jasmine, privet, evergreen vines, 

 etc. Some propagate quite easily, 

 others not easily at all. 



I also have several thousand mag- 

 nolia fig cuttings and trees. Last win- 

 ter, except in a few privileged loca- 

 tions, the wood suitable for cuttings 

 was frozen back badly. This will 

 likely make fig trees high priced next 

 season. I am desirous of seeing 

 whether I can propagate some fig 

 trees from the green growth made 

 since spring. I rather doubt whether 

 it can be done, but perhaps it can. 

 Tf I should purchase a complete outfit 

 of hotbeds, both frames and sashes, 

 these ought to do the work satisfac- 

 torily, it seems to me. The only difli- 

 culty is this: Supposing, for instance, 

 the frame is built for five sashes. In 

 case of putting in cuttings under one
