can publish only a small port
tion OF such correspondence.
The interest in growing new
plants from cuttings has
prompted q number Of written
questions as to when the cut
tings are best taken.
Many plants. such as the
roses. spirea. grapevines. etc..
are grown from hardwood cut
tings-that is the cuttings are
not taken until after the leaves
have fallen and the wood is
mature. In this area that is
usually about the middle of
December or later.
However, the conifers and
some Of the broadleaved ever
green's root best from cuttings
taken about the first Of the
year. This especially applies
to lockwood. but not to aza-
leas and camellias. All of the
conifers may be propagated in
this way.
Soft wood cuttings Of azaleas
and camellias and many SINH
lar plants are taken in the
middle Of the summer. That is
when the new growth that ap-
pears Immediately following
the Towering begins to stiffen.

until I collect them on my
clothes, either. I'll 60 out to-
night and get a handful on the
horses mains and tails and
send them right on.
And as a return favor I have
q packet of vine pomegranate
seeds. And they are blue ribbon
seeds too, for I'm told that the
melon from which these seeds
came won a blue ribbon at the
Bethesda Harvest Show this
fall.
Better than q fair swap, I'd
say. Spanish needles for mel
ons. I'd do 1t any day.
= -
! have been misled by SCI
ence. Just last year. as I re-
member. I read about what
makes the leaves turn in the
fall. How 1t wasn't brought on
by frost or cold weather. but
by the length Of day.
Seems the shorter days trig-
ger the engines that make for
the gay colors In the leaves,
and. according to what I read,
the cold days have nothing to
do with it.
Well, seems that isn't alto
gether correct. Or else why
haven't the leaves changed
color on schedule this year?
My observations this fall
would have me believe that the
cold, frosty nights do have
something to do with bringing
on the color In the fall foliage,
because we certainly have had
warm October days. and no
leaf color.
Not until we got a cold night
or so did the color start COM
ing. So 1t can't be caused al
together by length of day.
It's ALWAYS a Qood idea IN
