or more, which roots at every joint where 
it touches the ground. Then right away 
the letters came in, and are still coming 
in. asking my price for the .plants, and 
I have to tell them that my main trouble 
hero is to keep the one plant I have from 
taking possession of the whole place, and 
that, instead of growing the plants for 
sale, I spend a good deal of time all Sum¬ 
mer stopping the runners. One corre¬ 
spondent wrote that, he is already growing 
the plants, and that a half-acre planted 
in kudzu kept his cow well fed all Sum¬ 
mer. Knowing its wonderful rankness of 
growth, T have no doubt that he was right. 
Rut one hardly dares say anything about 
plants that, may be of value because so 
many people think that T am stealing a 
little advertising free. The kudzu is, I 
believe, a valuable forage plant if kept 
to its quarters, aud only hard grazing 
will do that, for the runners will surely 
escape the mowing machine, and one 
plant set in tin* middle of a 10-acre field 
will get the whole field in three seasons 
if let grow. The seedsmen, are offering 
the seed. I suppose these are imported, 
for though T have been, growing the plants 
20 years, I have never seen it bloom; 
and yet a friend in Philadelphia once sent 
me a cluster of the bloom, dark purplish 
blue, like a miniature cluster of Wis¬ 
taria. 
Then some people who should know 
better make mistakes that may lead in¬ 
experienced people into failure. A South¬ 
ern horticulturist advises the sowing of 
pansy seed and Drummond Phlox iu hot¬ 
beds in February. This would mean 
that the pansies would make their first 
bloom in hot Summer weather, and the 
seedsman would be blamed for the quality 
of the flowers. Then I’hlox Prununondii 
sown iu October outside wi \ wiuter all 
right aud bloom early. In fact I have 
had them bloom in January in North 
Carolina in a warm spell. Pansies sown 
in early August! can be transplanted to 
the beds in the Fall, and will bloom while 
the weather is suited to the production 
of the finest blooms. w. F. massey. 
Propagating Dogwood. Magnolia and 
Japanese Quince 
I would like information as to propa¬ 
gation of Cornus florida. Magnolia Soul- 
angeana and Japanese quince. Can they 
be grown from cuttings? if so. what 
time of year? Can Cornus florida be 
grown from a piece of root, or grafted 
onto lilac? at. f. 
Elnora, N. Y. 
1. All species of the dogwood (Cor- 
tius) arc readily propagated by seed and 
layers, and some of them, such as the red 
osier dogwood, by cuttings of the mature 
wood. Nurserymen use seedling stocks of 
Cornus florida for grafting and budding 
the weeping and red-flowered varieties. 
Grafting may be done iu the open air, 
but is somewhat uncertain, and nursery¬ 
men usually do the work under glass, in 
August, using a veneer graft on pot- 
grown stocks. 
2. Magnolias are propagated by seeds, 
layers, budding and «grafting. Seed 
should not be allowed to become dry. but 
should be sown immediately after re¬ 
moved from its pulpy covering, or buried 
in boxes over Winter, and sown in a 
frame iu Spring, where the seedlings may 
receive water and shade on hot days. 
Layers put down in Spring, with a tongue 
cut on the under side, usually root well 
the first season, and this is an excellent- 
plan for the amateur, if the specimen is 
not too tall to admit of layering a branch. 
Sometimes the layer does not make suf¬ 
ficient root the first ‘ season, but as a 
rule it may be separated from the parent 
plant the first Summer and is believed to 
grow on better than if not separated un¬ 
til the following Spring. 
3. The Japan quince is easily propa¬ 
gated by seeds, usually stratified and 
sown iu the Spring, and is also readily 
increased by root cutting made in Fall or 
early Spring. Rare or weak-growing va¬ 
rieties are grafted iu the greenhouse iu 
early Spring, on stock of the Japan ox* 
common quince.

they made money for their crop brought fabulous 
sums because of the high quality of their product., 
and so it is with the various varieties of cabbage,

and many other seeds. They are special seeds to
