Boses. — Cuttings of Roses may he rooted at 

 almost any period of the year, and hy several 

 different methods ; this part of the subject, however, 

 has been fully treated in Vol. I., pp. 210 — 212." 



For the propagation of Roses and other plants 

 requiring a little protection, the Poh-frame, of which 

 a figure is here given, proves most useful, as it is 

 easily fixed over a bed or border, and whilst affording 

 shelter, does not prevent light from reaching the 

 cuttings as mats, straw, &o., do. The term comes 

 from the North 

 of England, 

 where it means 

 spent or refuse 

 flax, over 

 which is placed 

 a few inches 

 of light soil co- 

 vered by the 

 frame. The 

 " pob " retains 

 its gentle heat, 

 if properly 

 moistened, for 



months. Stable 



, Kg. 14.- 



manure or tan 



will answer the 



same purpose. The following is a list of the varieties 



of Roses which do well raised from cuttings :—

In addition to the foregoing, the Bourbon, Noi- 

 sette, and China Roses may be propagated either in 

 pots or under frames in the autumn; these kinds 

 thrive better when on their own roots than when 

 grafted. 



Those species of Sosa which, owing to the popu- 

 larity of single-flowered Roses, have attracted con- 

 siderable attention of late are all capable of being 

 propagated from cuttings inserted in autumn. 



For other methods practised for the propagation 



of Roses, see 

 previous arti- 

 cles, also article 

 on Seeds and 

 Hybridisation. 



Conifers. — 



Cuttings of al- 

 most every one 

 of the nume- 

 rous_species and 

 varieties of Co- 

 niferous trees 

 and shrubs will 

 strike root if 

 put in any time 

 betweenAugust 

 and October, and treated as follows : For the har- 

 dier and free-growing kinds, such as Taxas, Thujas, 

 &c., hand-lights placed over prepared beds of sandy 

 son afford all the protection necessary for their 

 successful rooting. A position under a hedge or 

 wall, which, whilst affording shade from excessive 

 sunshine, wiU not darken the cuttings too much, 

 should be selected. Should the soil here be badly 

 drained, it wiU be advisable to trench it, and after 

 levelling the surface, place upon it a layer about 

 three inches thick of fresh soil, which should consist 

 of loam, peat, and sand, in about equal proportions. 

 Upon this the hand-lights should be placed in rows, 

 with sufficient space between each row to allow a 

 man to move along them, for purposes of watering, 

 &c. Where it is intended to propagate large quan- 

 tities of these plants, suitable hand-lights or boxes 

 may be made by cutting through obliquely the large 

 cases usually obtained with Dutch bulbs. Each box 

 thus yields two cutting-boxes, the sloping out sides 

 to form the top of the cutting-box, which should be 

 glazed with strong glass, and, if possible, be made 

 water and air-tight. Beneath these the cuttings
