SNAPDRAGON CUTTINGS. 



I wish to make a statement for the 

 heiielit of the readers nl' The h'evievv. 

 I had supjiosed that sua pd ration was not 

 a hard tliini:' to handle and that, heiiie 

 ;iii ohi-fashioned llower. any successful 

 ;;reen house man knew how to ]iot and 

 handle a siiapilia;;(>ii ciittiiiii-, hut I am 

 surprised to find how I'ew llorisfs really 

 know how. Ill every case the complaint 

 is ot' tlie drying; up of the ciittiii;^s. 1 

 lind there never is complaint that they 



dry U|i after they have I n potted 



and hecome estahlislicd. The fault is 

 in the handliii;^ of the cuttiiiL;s tiio lirst
