Propagation of Vines by Cutting.
Pacific Rural Press.

Pacific Rural Press.
There is a great deal Of difficulty ex-
perienced in propagating by cuttings
the ~@stiyalis, and some other varies of
American resistant stocks. Much loss
will be saved by cutting the canes short
eight or ten inches long, starting
them in hot beds, protected from frost
before the time Of planting in the field.
Then, late in the spring plant in the
field carefully, covering the top with
right soil to protect the developed shoots
from late frOsts and from drying while
the young roots are taking firm hold
upon the soil, which has first been suit
ably fertilized. Dipping the base of the
cuttings Is they are taken from the
hot bed in a rich wet compost, suitably
prepared, before taking them TO the
field, and not removing them from it
until at the point-of planting, will also
have much advantage. This can be
done by carrying them to the field in
tubs or buckets partially filed with this
compost; / see no reason why the same
may not be done with advantage when
planting the easy-rooting European
varieties. A short cutting, so planted
that the top is covered with light, fine
earth, and that the base IS not too deep,
but within the influence of the warmth
of the sun, viii make a finer develop
ment than when long cuttings are so
deep that the roots at the base develop
poorly, and part projecting into the
air is subject to drought and
cold. Many plant their cuttings too
deep, poor roots being the general
result, and Outlines failure, resulting
from the unequal conflict between the
bursting buds, which dry up in the air
before the roots can nOurish them. Ne
precise rule, however, as to the depth
Of planting can be made, on account of
the different characteristics of the soil.
Experience and the exercise of sound
judgment only can determine what shall
be the depth Of planting. The long
cutting, the base Of (which is bent horn.
zOntally in the bottom of a hole twelve
to fourteen inches deep, succeeds well
in light, dry soils but / have noticed
failures In moist adobe and cold lands,
Cuttings planted too deeply produce
plants Of slow fruitage.
