Well-Rooted Blueberry Cutting. 
This cutting with the sand adhering to it has just been removed from its cutting bed. The 
^ illustration shows the secondary twig growth that took place from the apex of the primary 
twig after the cutting had begun to form roots. The dark-colored bud scales just below 
the middle of the leaf-bearing axis mark the apex of the primary growth and the base of 
the secondary growth. This cutting was in the cutting bed from February 3 to August 6, 
when the photograph was taken. Under greenhouse propagation the cutting is ready for 
potting; under outdoor propagation it should remain in the cutting bed until late autumn 
or early spring. (Natural size.)
