Cuban Jute Substitute.

Malva fiber, the new Cuban substi-
tute for jute, is a product of malva
blanca (Urena lobata), a large and
troublesome weed. The report of Unit
ed States Special Agent Garrard Har-
ris shows that in the experiments of
the last two years, the extraction has
been brought to successful CONNER
cial stage; and the fiber. mixed with
jute, has been used for the soles of
cloth shoes, about twenty tons having
been sold last year at six cents a
pound. The hope of the process own
ers is to make the material into the
20,000,000 sugar sacks annually need
ed in Cuba. 1t is claimed that ~
pound sack of malva fiber can be
proftably marketed at 7 to 10 cents,
while the normal cost OF jute sacks is
16 to 18 cents each, the wartime price
having risen to 25 to 80 cents.

PROPAGATING BY CUTTING
BY w. r. GILBERT.


Where thousands of plants are grown
for positions in the open Cir dur
ing the summer, this is an important
operation from March onward. Con-
siderable forethought and knowledge
of the work are necessary to obtain the
plants in suitable condition and in suf-
ticient numbers, when the time for
planting out arrives.
Although decried by some, the scar
let geranium still has hosts of admir-
ers, especially since the introduction
of the variety-Paul Crampei.
Cuttings of the varieties of which
the numbers are short can be inserted
now. These may be obtained from the
old plants lifted from the beds in the
autumn, or a few tops may be taken
off the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted in light, sandy soil they will
soon root on a shelf in a warm house.
Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratum,
heliotrOpe, verbena. fuchsia, fbrous-
rooted begonia. etc, when required in
