MODES OF PROPAGATION BY DIVISION* VIZ. 
TAKING OFF SUCKERS* MAKING LAYERS 
AND CUTTINGS* BUDDING* GRAFTING* AND 
INARCHING. 
Properly speaking* there are only two modes 
of propagating plants* viz.: by seed and by 
division. The first raises a new individual* 
resembling the plant that produced the seed* 
as a child does its parent* but not perpetuat¬

Propagation* by division* may be divided 
into two kinds:—those in which the young
