A Propagating Secret.

Under this head, the London Garden
ers' Chronicle says: It will be remem-
bered that a month or two ago We al
luded to On alleged extraordinary secret
for propagating trees and grating roses,
whereby much time could be saved, Of
fered for small sum by an Austrian
,nuseryman named Bachrath. This gen.
tleman has since communicated an ar
ticle on the subject to the Wiener Gar
tenfreund. Briefly, his new method is
as follows: Cuttings of shrubs and trees
are taken off at the beginning of July,
from 6 in. to IL in. long, according to
the kind. The leaves are removed from
the lower portion which is to enter the
ground, but those which will come above
ground are left. Beds are prepared for
them in the open air by thorough dig
ging and levcling, and afterwards ap-
plying superficial layer, about two
inches thick, of rotten manure from a
spent hotbed. The cuttings are then
stuck in about two inches apart and in
a somewhat oblique direction. Each
bed when filed is surrounded with a
lath fence, so that shade may be given
when the sun is very hot, ana the cut
tings are well watered with a rose-spout-
ed can. This completes the operation.
The only further care necessary is a
sprinkling overhead three or four times
a day during the first week, if the
weather be very hot, and once a day
afterwards. In the course Of five or six
weeks, treated in the manner indicated,
the cuttings of most plants will have
formed callus, and further shading
will be unnecessary. Late in the au-
tumn a layer of rough manure, two or
three inches thick, is spread over for
winter protection. 1t also serves as
manure when the cuttings start growing
in the spring; and cuttings treated thus
make extraordinary progress-forming
plants equal to two-year-cld plants from
winter or spring cuttings. Very few,
it is asserted, fail. The new method
Of grating roses is the insertion of
growing eyes early in spring, instead Of
dormant eyes in the summer. They are
inserted in the main stem, one on each
side, to form symmetrical heads. These
make, it is said, rs much growth the
first season as the dormant eyes the Sec
ond season.
