HARDWOOD CUTTINGS

No less an authority than A. c.
Hotties in his Practical Plant Propa-
CATION" states that most of our shrubs
and many of Our trees may be propa-
gated by hardwood cuttings. He rec
onimends that wood of the current sea-
sons growth be used. taking the ma
terial Just after the leaves have dropped.
The length of the cuttings should be
approximately inches, making the
cuts just above a top node and through
a basal node. The cuttings should be
bundled and blu led upside down in
we'll drained spot in the garden Just
deep enough to avoid freezing. During
the Winter the lower ends will callus,
that is, form healing tissue from which
region roots viii appear In early
Spring the bundles of cuttings should
be dug and opened and reset in rows
with the top bud protruding above the
soil In a few weeks growth will start
and a new plant will be formed.
Grapes are readily propagated in this
manner and also most of the hardy
climbing roses. Currants and goose
berries also LEND themselves to this
simple method IF increase. Strange as
it may appear, roots always appear from
the original base of the cutting and
shoots from the top, no matter how it
is placed in the soil. This phenomenon
is recognized by botanists under the
term polarity. and has received much
deep study without complete explana-
ton. 1t may possibly be of an electrical
nature
If one has favorite grapevine and
would like to increase it for distribution
among friends there is no better way
than to prune off some of the new
growth and cut It into sections, handling
them in the manner suggested. Vari
Gus hedge plants such as privet, Rose
of Sharon and barberry, are easily in
creased in the s1me manner.

GARDEN NOTES

Roses of the monthly blooming type,
such as Etoile de France, Radiance and
Lady Hillingdon, are not always fully
hardy in this locality and should be
banked with soil about the main stem
to height of six to ten inches. Some
Winter roses are not injured, but once
in while a hard season comes along
and some plants will be lost if not
banked. 1t matters but little if the
top is killed back to the mound, for
new shoots will readily break forth
from the protected portion of the top
Hardy roses, such as Frau Karl
Druschki and the sturdy climbers, like
DR.. w. Van Fleet, need no protection
OF any kind.
One difficulty that home gardeners
meet in setting out the tulips and other
bulbs is in properly marking the va
rieties. Wooden labels have way OF
disappearing, broken down by care
less foot or heaved by the frost About
the most reliable key to- the paintings
is rough map with varieties either

THE LAWN

Undoubtedly the lawn interests more
home gardeners than any other single
feature in the home paintings, and
r1ghtfully So because the lawn is the
major setting for the home itself. The
following information from the press
service of the Department Of Agri-
culture is helpful.
Attractive green turf around the
house is within the reach Of any one
who is willing to follow carefully GER
tain fundamental rules in preparing
the ground for new lawn, in seeding
it and in caring for the grass once it
has made its growth.
las most lawns are of compare
lively small area, the extra cost of
pulverizing and fertilizing to insure
best results and Of buying the best
seed is rarely prohibitive. Skimping
on seed and fertilizer Is not real econ
omy in the long run, say H. l.. West
over and G. r. Enlow, grass spe-
cialists of the Department of Agricul-
ture, who have compiled set of de-
tailed instructions for the planting and
care of lawns in all parts of the United
States.
Climate and soil determine the kind
of grass seed that should be sown in
the various parts of the country and
also the time of year when the lawn
should be started. Kentucky blue
grass, alone or mixed with red top,
and the bent grasses are perhaps the
most commonly used grasses over most
of the United States AS a rule, lawns
are started with seed which is care
fully broadcast, preferably by hand.
Creeping bentgraSs, used for putting
greens, however, is started from pieces
of runners. This grass requires much
more attention than the other grasses.
1.-THE Department of Agriculture spe-
cialists favor Fall sowing of lawns in
the North; weeds are less troublesome
then and the young grass has chance
to get good start before the Spring
lawns, however, do best If seeded in
the Spring.
Getting a satisfactory stand of grass
is only half the problem of good
lawn. Constant attention is necessary
TO keep the grass always thick and
green. This calls for fertilizing, lining
and rolling from time to time.
Sprinkling should be done with the
knowledge that thorough soaking en-
courages deep root development, whereas
light sprinkling merely stimulates the
surface roots.
There is also a best way to NOV a
lawn, to remove weeds and to eradicate
insect pests and disease. Farmers bull
letin 1677-F, Planting and Care of
Lawns" which may be obtained from
the Office of information, Department of
Agriculture, tells what these are and
also gives explicit directions for prepar-
ing the soil and selecting and planting
grass for lawns, golf courses, airportS
and polo and athletic fields"

DESIGNATED by a number or by their
own name. 1t scarcely pays to buy a
set of metal markers for tulips, but If
one desires such permanent record
such devices are obtainable at the seed
stores.
In the forest nature is busily engaged
in returning to the soil in the form OF
falling leaves much of the nutrients
which have been taken up throughout
the year. 1t is really case of return
ing the principal with interest, because
of the new carbon compounds manu-
featured from the carbon dioxide of the
air by virtue of the sunlight. A forest,
left unburned. actually gains in fer
tility from year to year. How many
garden soils are in the same category?
At the date of writing November 10,
there are still frost-free gardens in the
center of the city When one con-
siders that crocuses are often in bloom

cially alternate freezing and thawing. A
layer of straw prevents the sun from
warming the surface soil. Then again,
one of the greatest hazards to the straw
berry is late Spring frosts that come
when the flowers are open. A straw
mulch delays the rapid start Of the
blooms in early Spring and otter thereby
saves the crop.
Too heavy mulch may be worse than
none, causing the, leaves and crowns to
decay. After all, the straw is not placed
over the plants to keep them warm.
Were it not for birds, the strawberry
would be much more popular as home
garden fruit. In the small home garden
it is almost impossible to harvest crop
unless the bed is covered with netting
of some kind. AS result, home gar
deners have more or less given up
berry growing, which is rather unfor-
tunate, since the finest berries are those
which are allowed to become fully ripe
on the plants. Commercial growers
must of necessity pick a little in adj
vance of this stage.

Arthur H. Howell of the Bureau OF
Biological Survey presented an illus

seen in the vicinity.
In presenting this, the final contri-
button Of the 1881 season, it is fitting
to express appreciation to those garden
clubs which have co-operated by sup
plying information concerning their ac-
Invites. Without this helpful assistance
1t would have teen practically impos-
sible to have assembled these valuable
notes. In turn, the hope is expressed
that this column has been of service to
the clubs.
