To Propagate Tamarisk. — R. Bentley : You 
should find no difficulty in propagating the common 
Tamarisk as well as Myricaria germanica, better 
known perhaps as Tamarix germanica in your part 
of the country, where the winter is mild and equable 
as a rule. Take off healthy pieces of young shoots 
9 in. or 12 in. long, and insert them rather deeply in 
light, sandy soil. If the latter is heavy, prepare 
some light material so as to improve the natural 
soil. The cuttings may then be inserted in trenches 
taken out with the spade, laying in the cuttings 
rather thickly so as just to touch one another. 
In digging over the next trench cover up 
the lower half of the cuttings and tread the 
soil firmly. After all have been put in which 
you require, cover them with hand lights or with 
frames according to the quantity and the means at 
command. Keep the soil well watered from the time 
it is likely to get dry in spring onwards through the 
summer, and if you have been successful, the young 
plants may be transplanted into lines in a nursery 
bed, or planted in their permanent positions if you 
like. Of course they will take a few years to get 
strong, but as a rule they grow pretty rapidly. If 
your object is to make a close bank of them they 
should be cut back annually like Willows so as to en¬ 
courage them to throw up vigorous shoots in quantity 
from the stool.
