How to Slip Rubber PI.nts.

When a rubber plant has grown too
large TO be convenient IL can be slipped
and the slips planted. and they should
then grow into fine, healthy plants
Some persons use earth for the Slip
ping process. but a famous florist says
that for those who live in a city or
town the sponge method is better. A
large sponge Of the very cheapest
quality can be bought and cut into
small pieces, or the bits OF sponge one
can get as cheap as and 10 cents

the tip OF the tree make an incision In

must be kept moist constantly. In &
short time little hairiike roots will be
thrown out OF the sponge. and when
these look fairly strong the branch
should be severed below the sponge
