PRoPAGATING BY CUTTING
BY W. r. GILBERT.

Where thousands Of plants are grown
for positions in the open air 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-
dcient 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 Crampel. .
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 few tops may be taken
OF the strongest of the young plants.
Inserted in light. sandy soil they will
soon root on shelf in a warm house.
Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratum,
helictrope, verbena, fuchsia, fibrous-
rooted begonia. ETC., when required in
quantity should be inserted in a bed
of-sand made up in a propagating
frame with bottom heat. Three inches
