followed by two or three weeks of good growing weather. 

 Place the flats of sand in which the cuttings are to be rooted 

 where they can be shaded, and cover, when necessary, 

 with old bags or rugs, — in a frame, on the north side of a 

 building, or in the shade of the veranda, are good places. 

 Water the sand well before putting in the cuttings, and then 

 give only enough to keep the sand thoroughly moist, not 

 soaking wet. Pot up as soon as the roots are a quarter of 

 an inch or so long.
