Some prefer to take cuttings in the
fall and preserve them in sand or moss
during winter. and place them in the

beds offer more trustworthy mode OF
striking grapevine cuttings. The buds
(single buds may be used) are placed i'll
flower pots of fine sand, and these
plunged into the soil Of the hot-bed up
to their rims.
OF course, the most trustworthy
method is to strike the cuttings III
