LAYING PLANTS.

NM FLnsr Aag 2oA, 1892,
Many of our garden plants, shrubbery and trees,
may be multiplied by layers. To dnih'5 work,
dig round the plpnts and hoe hill three or four
inches high, N which draw a trench, and bring
down the branch Intended to be lad, & taslen II IN
the trench with hooked stick then cover about
two inches deep, leaving tho top out. In ssor,
time they will put out roots, andnay be separated
from the main plant, AMI irdnspalted INTO nurse
bed or set " here wanted, and viii make good
plants
BY this mode you may increase your grapes,
your rose bushes pnks, sweet Williams, anu nj
most any perennial plants
For shrubbcry and trees, take Il box, mail four
pieces to it Of length to raise i, 10 the branch yon
wish to lay, Gil tho box with earth, and draw trench
es in tho dirt about three inches doep, in winch lay
the branches and fAstcn them rs above directed
with hooked sticks, and cover them with earth tor
two or three incles.-Thcy will put out roots
where covered with earth s. may afterwards be &C.
parated cnd transpanted by this mode, ounces,
Cherries and generally most kinds OF ornamental
trees may be multiplied al pleasure.
This is much cheaper mode of multiplying
fruit and ornamental trees thnn applying to nurse
rymen, and IS witha the reach Of every gardener
and farmer.
