RAISING cURRExTs PROM currINCs
In raising from Cuttings, the first ob.
iect to to be attained is 8 clear stem about
six or eight inches high, and free from
suckers. The cuttings are procured from
The growth Of tie previous year and for
them The strongest, straighsest and best
ripened shoots should be chosen. All
the buds on the portion 70 be inserted ia
the ground should be carefully Picked
out, leaving three or four of the termin-
al ones, and reducing the cutting to
about a foot in length By taking of the
unripened points. By removing the
buds, or eyes. the trees are prevented
from throwing up suckers, which are
Injurious, besides being unslightly. and
troublesome TO displace. Ths cuttings
may be planted in a shady situation, in
rows about eighteen inches apart, and
about nine or ten inches asundsr in the
raw. They will generally, ia lhe first
season, produce about three shoots each,
