CURIOUS PLANT PROPAGATION.

How Branches Are Removed from the
Parent Stem.
Some very curious processes for
propagation are practiced at the pub
lie gardens. One consists in cutting
with a knife a ring around a branch
of a plant. One might imagine, says
the Washington Star, that the inten-
ton was to kill the branch, but such
is by no means the object in view.
The cut having been made, a piece of
wet moss is wrapped and tied around
the branch at that point. Beneath this
protection the sap exudes from the
wound, and little rootlets are devel-
oped. After a few days the branch is
cut away from the parent stem, being
then itself a complete plant, with
roots, all ready to put in a pot.
This plan is adopted with plants of
slow growth, because one plant may
thus be split up into half a dozen or
more Of good size, instead of waiting
for a Seeding Dr. little slip to develop.
A modification of the same process
consists in placing a small pot full
of earth around the cut place or the
branch, fastening it in position. When
roots have developed the branch is cut
off just below the pot, and a new plant
is produced. If the gardener chooses
to take the trouble he can make a sep
arate plant out of every bud on a tree.
In fact, an eminent botanist has said
that every tree is a village, cash bud
being an individual.

all die, sooner or later, and yet it is an
occurrence SO rare as to be practically
