Horticultural  Short  Cuts 
Division  of  Dahlias 
flow  should  Dahlia  roots  be  plauted, 
singly  or  as  they  grow,  in  clumps? 
South  Haven,  Mich.  J.  A.  H. 
It  is  well  to  divide  a  large  clump  of 
Dahlia  roots  so  that  it  is  not  a  crowded 
mass ;  but  unless  it  is  a  choice  variety 
that  must  be  increased  as  much  as  pos¬ 
sible,  we  would  not  divide  into  single 
roots.  We  like  to  plant  a  little  clump  of 
two  to  three  roots  at  least.  As  the  eyes 
are  not  on  the  root  but  on  the  crown  to 
which  it  is  attached,  one  must  be  careful 
to  include  eyes  with  each  division.  We 
have  seen  nice,  plump  roots  cut  away 
from  the  crown  without  any  sign  of  an 
eye  or  hud,  the  mistaken  person  dividing 
in  this  way  believing  that  the  root* 
formed  buds  just  as  a  sweet  potato 
does.  Of  course,  a  serious  disappointment 
resulted.  Strong-growing  sorts  form  such 
a  congested  clump  of  roots  that  careful 
division  is  a  necessity  ;  otherwise  one  gets 
a  number  of  weak  shoots.  It  is  a  good 
plan  to  give  the  roots  warmth  and  moist¬ 
ure  for  a  week  or  so  before  planting,  so 
that  the  buds  will  show,  as  one  is  then 
sure  of  buds  with  each  division.  It  is 
better  not  to  grow  shoots  before  plant¬ 
ing,  however,  as  they  must  be  set  early, 
and  tender  young  growth  above  ground 
may  be  caught  by  a  late  frost.

Wincheudon,  Mass. 
For  a  shaded  location  two  excellent 
vines  are  Clematis  paniculata  and  Dutch¬ 
man’s  pipe,  Aristolochia  macrophylla. 
Both  are  very  hardy,  clean,  and  free  from 
insect  enemies.  The  Clematis  is  covered 
with  sheets  of  small  white  flowers  of  de¬ 
licious  fragrance  in  August  and  Septem¬ 
ber.  The  flowers  of  the  Aristolochia  are 
inconspicuous,  but  the  heart-shaped,  light- 
green  leaves  are  luxuriant  and  attractive. 
Both  like  deep,  rich,  moist  soil,  and  are 
adaptable  to  a  variety  of  locations.

Onions  Do  Not  Form  Bulbs 
What  is  the  reason  that  mv  onions  do 
not  make  bulbs?  In  a  long  row  sown  last 
year  the  entire  lot  were  long,  nearly  the 
same  size,  full  length.  A  few  were  large 
enough  for  eating  and  were  tender  and 
very  nice,  but  I  have  hundreds  of  them 
about  like  -my  little  finger  or  smaller. 
What  will  they  raise  if  I  set  them  out 
next  Spring?  j.  n.  G. 
The  trouble  with  your  onions  is  that 
they  did  not  make  a  good  growth,  due  to 
any  of  several  factors.  Land  low  in  fer¬ 
tility  will  produce  just  such  onions,  and  in 
a  dry  year  they  will  often  be  undeveloped, 
but  most  often  the  trouble  is  due  to  in¬ 
sect  attack,  notably  the  onion  thrips. 
These  small  insects,  about  one-twenty- 
fifth  of  an  inch  long,  suck  the  juices  from 
the  plants  and  produce  a  peculiar  mot¬ 
tled  whitening  of  the  tops.  Often  the 
tops  are  so  weakened  that  they  bend 
downward  quite  sharply  or  even  curl, 
twist,  and  die.  One  unfamiliar  with  the 
growth  of  onions  might  easily  overlook 
the  cause  of  the  trouble. 
The  adults  winter  over  protected  under 
dead  grass  or  rubbish,  so  that  anything 
that  tends  to  reduce  the  opportunities  for 
this  insect  to  survive  the  Winter  is  of 
value.  Spraying  with  nicotine  sulphate 
three-fourths  of  a  pint  to  100  gallons  of 
water,  to  which  is  added  about  4  lbs.  of 
soap,  will  control  the  thrips  if  the  spray¬ 
ing  is  thoroughly  done  every  eight  or  10 
days  as  long  as  they  are  present  in 
abundance.  However,  cultivation  and 
fertilization  will  frequently  produce  plants 
of  sufficient  vigor  to  mature  good  onions 
in  spite  of  thrips  attacks. 
The  onions  in  our  garden  were  just  as 
you  describe  yours — due  incidentally  to 
thrips — and  we  used  them  as  sets  the 
next  year  and  grew  some  very  good 
onions.  n.  b.  t.

Propagating  California  Privet 
Would  you  tell  me  how  to  propagate 
California  nrivet?  e.  e.  p. 
A  simple  method  of  propagating  Cali¬ 
fornia  privet  is  to  take  cuttings  of  one- 
vear  wood  in  Fall  or  Winter,  making 
them  eight  to  14  inches  long.  Fall  is  pre¬ 
ferred,  because  the  wood  is  sometimes  m- 
jured  in  13  inter,  even  considerably  south 
of  New  York.  These  cuttings  are  tied  in 
bundles  and  buried  until  Spring,  when 
they  are  stuck  in  rows  from  two  to  six 
inches  apart,  the  rows  2  ft.  to  3Y>  ft 
asunder.  They  make  nice  plants  12  to  18 
in.  high  when  one  year  old.
