desirable and popular, may be propagated by one or more of the previously 

 described methods: 



Japanese maple, Acerjaponicum, from seeds, or with some difficulty from green 

 or ripe wood cuttings under glass. 



Bastard indigo, Amorpha fruticosa, from seeds, or from green-wood cuttings 

 under glass. 



Japanese barberry, Berberis Thunbergii, from seeds, or from green-wood cuttings 

 in June under glass. 



Sweet-scented shrub, Calycanthus, from seeds thinly sown in a cold frame in 

 April, or by layering. 



Red bud, Cercisjaponica, from layers, or from green-wood cuttings under glass; 

 other species oiCercis from seeds sown in March in light soil, with gentle heat under 

 glass. 



Fringe tree, Chionanthus Virginica, from seeds sown in autumn, or from stratified 

 seeds sown in spring, or from layers. 



Hawthorn, Cratsegus, from seeds, which germinate the second year and need 

 to be covered with a mulch of straw or hay the first summer to keep them from 

 drying out. 



Japan quince, Cydonia japonica, from seeds, or from dormant cuttings of the 

 previous season's growth, or from layers. 



Daphne, Daphne cneorum, by " tongued ' 



Clematis, by stratified seeds sown in a 

 sandy, light soil in a gentle heat under 

 glass, or by layers. 



Sweet pepper bush, Clethra, from lay- 

 ers, or from cuttings of half -ripened wood 

 in gentle heat under glass. 



Osier, Cornus, the willowlike species, 

 from seeds, layers or cuttings of half- 

 ripened wood under glass. 



Deutzia, from half-ripened green-wood 

 cuttings under glass, from dormant cut- 

 tings of previous season's growth, or from 

 layers. 



Weigela, Diervilla, from half-ripened 

 green-wood cuttings under glass, or from 

 dormant cuttings of the previous season's 

 growth. 



Oleaster, Elseagnus longipes, from cut- 

 tings of half-ripened wood in June or July 

 under glass. 



Burning bush, Euonymus, the decidu- 

 ous species from dormant cuttings of the 

 previous season's growth; the evergreen species from cuttings of green or half- 

 ripened wood under glass; or both deciduous and evergreen from seeds and layers. 



Pearl bush, Exochorda, from seeds, or from layers in June. 



Golden bell, Forsythia, from green-wood cuttings under glass, or from dormant 

 cuttings of the previous season's growth. 



Silver-bell or snowdrop tree, Halesia, from layers, or from stratified seeds, which 

 do not germinate until the second year. 



Hardy hydrangea, Hydrangea paniculata, from green-wood cuttings in June. 



Holly, Ilex, from stratified seeds which germinate the second year. 



Mountain laurel, Kalmia, from layers, or from seeds sown in shallow boxes of 

 sphagnum moss or peat, placed and kept in a cold frame until seedlings are large 

 enough to harden off and transplant. 



Globe flower, Kerria japonica, from layers, or from dormant cuttings of the 

 previous season's growth. 



Koelreuteria, from seeds sown in the spring, or from cuttings of green wood in 

 spring, or from layers in autumn. 



Golden chain, Laburnum, from layers or from seeds. 



Laurel, Laurus, from layers or from seeds. 



Woodbine, honeysuckle, Lonicera, both the upright and the creeping species, 

 the former from dormant cuttings of previous season's growth or from layers; the 

 latter from dormant cuttings or, to obtain new varieties, from seeds sown as soon as 

 ripe, or from stratified seeds sown in spring. 



Crape myrtle, Lagerstmmia, from layers, or from seeds which, sown in boxes in 

 well-firmed soil late in September, covered with sifted peat or leaf mold and kept in 

 a cold frame or pit, will germinate in spring. 



Privet, Ligustrum, from green-wood cuttings; or very easily from dormant cut- 

 tings of the previous season's growth; or from stratified seeds, which sometimes do 

 not germinate till the second year. 



Magnolia, from seeds sown in autumn as soon as ripe; or from layering early, 

 before the plant begins to grow; or from green-wood cuttings taken off close back 

 to the branch or body so as to leave a heel on the end, under glass. 



Mock orange, syringa, Philadelphus, from cuttings of green wood under glass, or 

 from dormant cuttings of wood of previous year's growth, or from layers and seeds. 



Rhododendrons, low-growing plants, may be propagated from layers, other 

 methods — from seeds, cuttings and grafts — being too difficult for an amateur. 



Sumach, Rhus, from cuttings of green or half-ripe wood under glass, or from 

 seeds or layers. 



Rose acacia, Robinia pseudacacia, from layers, or from seeds after they have 

 been soaked in hot water, sown in autumn or spring. 



Roses, hybrid perpetual, climbers and ramblers, from cuttings of ripened wood 

 in late autumn placed in a cool greenhouse or a cold frame; other roses from cut- 

 tings of nearly ripened wood, taken from rose bushes growing in greenhouse, started 

 in a propagating bench with bottom heat. 



Spiraea from green-wood cuttings, or from dormant cuttings of the previous 

 season's growth, or from layers in. spring from seeds sown as soon as ripe, or from 

 stratified seeds sown in spring. 



Bladder nut, Staphylea, from layers, or from dormant cuttings, or from seeds 

 sown as soon as ripe, or from stratified seeds sown in spring. 



Lilac, Syringa, from green-wood cuttings under glass, or, less frequently, from 

 dormant cuttings, or from layers or stratified seeds sown in spring. 



Wistaria, from seeds, or from layers, or from cuttings of ripened wood under 

 glass.
