[Concluded from pace 64.] 



they must be freely syringed and not 

 exposed to the direct sun's rays. 



Some evergreens root much more 

 quickly than others. Euonymus radi- 

 cans roots easily in June and July, 

 when the new growths are still a little 

 soft. It also roots readily later in the 

 season from mature wood, particularly 

 if it can have a little bottom heat. 

 The various privets and jasmines also 

 root either from soft or mature wood. 

 The privet cuttings can be taken just 

 before winter sets in, tied in bundles, 

 buried in the ground and set out 

 closely in nursery rows in early spring, 

 taking care to tramp them in firmly. 

 Box propagates readily if set out in 

 the same w.ay, provided the cuttings 

 are not taken from too thick or old 

 wood and are thoroughly firmed in the 

 rows, or they can be placed in frames 

 in early spring if desired. Be sure, 

 however, that box never suffers from 

 lack of water. English ivy is of easy 

 propagation in spring, summer or fall 

 in frames, but outdoors it would be 

 doubtful, unless the weather should 

 prove ideal for propagation; that is, 

 damp, cool and cloudy. The hottest 

 weather is not so suitable for propa- 

 gation as spring and late summer, the 

 latter period being the best for the 

 bulk of evergreens. 



If by magnolia figs you refer to the 

 handsome southern evergreen tree, 

 Magnolia grandiflora, you wiTl not 

 have any success in propagating it 

 from soft wood. Save the seeds which 

 ripen in September or early October 

 and keep them in dry sand over win- 

 ter; then, two weeks before sowing 

 in flats, change to damp sand, after 

 which wash them well before sowing. 

 Pot off singly, and later plant out- 

 doors. You will find this method of 

 propagation preferable to trying either 

 soft or mature wood. Layering, how- 

 ever, can be done, but you should pot 

 the layers and keep them under glass 

 until established, rather than set them 

 directly outdoors. 



With a propagating frame or house, 

 the sashes need lifting only a little 

 unless it is extremely hot. As little 

 air as possible should be admitted and 

 the frames should be closed suflficiently 

 early each day to bottle up a good sun 

 heat, always spraying over the cut- 

 tings before closing up. C. W.
