Bewden Discusses Methods of Shrub
Propagation, And Time for Planting
Common Flowering
Shrubs Can Be Propogat
ed With Cuttings 3
By ROY BOWDEN
‘Manager, Greenhouse State College
of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.
Any of the common flowering
shrubs, such as Forsythia, Spireq,
Weigelia, Philadelphus, Jasmine,
Crape Myrtle, Deutzias and others,
may be propagated by the use of
cuttings. Among the broadleaf |
¢vergreens which may be propa-|
gated by cuttings out of doors nn!
the Ligustrums, Abelias, Haw.!
thorns and others, Also many va—'
rieties of roses may be propagated
by cuttings. ]
. Cuttings to be planted out of
doors arve best made in :\'ovembcr'
and early December when the!
plant has become dormant. It is
necessary to have plenty of cut-!
ting material available, because In
propagation work, naturally there!
will be many failures. The cut-]
tings may be set either in rows or
in the exact location that the plant
is to be used. If they are put in
the permanent location, it is well
to place several cuttings in that
Jocation in order to insure at least
one successful plant.
. Quttings may be of two kinds:
first, those which include the tip;
and second, those which are mere.
1y sections of the stem or branch.
Cuttings to be rooted out’ of doors'
should run eight to twelve mches
Jong. Make a square cut above a
bud and then a slanting cut be
%‘ahfld at the bottom of the
rutting.
§ ... How To Piant ]x
- The cuttings should be mumed“
deeply in the ground, leaving only|
an iinch or two above ground. In'
order to prevent the cuttings' be-|
ing pushed out of the ground dur- |
ing freezes in winter, muleh the
ground. This mulch consists of
leaves, straw or paper. No matter
which type is used, it should be
‘held in position with a little soil

» Cold frames when available pos.
sess many advantages in propagi
tion work for the amateur garde
ner. A cold frame is more effici-
ent for propagating work because
it provides more protection, a bet.
ter rooting medium and results in
more plants striking root. Any of
_ the plants mentioned which can be
* propagated out of doors can also
"~ Y& propagated in the cold frame
;- 'an;fi usually to Dbetter advantage,
- but there are those plants which
i t\‘houi@ be propagated not ocut of)
~ doors, but in the cold frame. They
‘inelude Eleagnus, Euonymus, Exo
cnipn"nu, Kolkwitzia, Viburnum,
Hydrangea and others,
; Cyttings put in the cold frame
can. be made from November
through January, although it is
‘preferable to do them early in the
dormant season. The best rcoting
medium is an eight inch laver of
;:’c!eal;, sharp sand inside of the
‘cold_frame.
EI&% to be placed lin the cold!
frame should be four to six inches
long, the upper cut made just
"ab_olfio;ra bud and the lower just be
low a bud. These are placed to a
depth -of two-thirds to three.
fourths of their total lemgth helow
the level of the sand. Place them
in' the sand bed one-fourth to one
half inch apart with four inches
between rows. After setting, water
the sand thoroughly. Keep the
temperature inside of the cold
frame above freezing and also
avoid .any excessively high tem
perature. This means that venti.
lation of the cold frame “will be
necessary when the sun strikes
dhe glass, . i
Layering is practiced in the]
propagation of plants which ur(J
more difficult to root than those
plants which are mentioned abow,!
hmung plants of this nature are|
gomie of the difficult varieties of |
Yoses, such as the Banksian \'uri-‘
‘eties, the colored Magnolias, Cal- '
Jicarpa, Tea Olive and others, (‘on-l
iferous evergreens which hn\"“
~branches that may be ben¥ over.
may be propagated by lavering.
3 Three Methods {
b
Layering is usually started dure
ing the fall. There ave three iveth.
ods which may Dbe practiced de
pending upon conditions. When
one.is. anxious to get plants in a
hurry. it is possible to bury a
branch all but the tip. The fellow
ing spring after growth has began
the branch is cut off and dug up
and. then transplanted to its
Jiermanent position. This provides
one plant from a branch.
- When more plants are desired,
dig a trench three to four inches
deep, bend over one of the lower
sbhranches of the plant and lay it
din the trcpch, covering its entire
Jength and being careful to vcight
theé basal end to prevent the
_braneh coming up. Branches treat
ed in this manner will usually
throw up a plant from each node
in the spring. During thé spring
~cut the branch half way tu the
knd in order to make the new
plants more independent. At the
- end of a year the plants may be
cut apart and placed in their per
nanent positions, :
f The third system of dayering is
Bometimes called mounding. This
System may be applied to any
which branches close ‘to the
gpound. New plants may be ob.
j#ned by placing a mound eight
twelve inches deep around the

Canning Meat
Canning meat is a topic much
talked this season, Those who ex
pect to can pork or beel need to
observe every precaution. The fol-,
lowing suggestions will aid the in.
experienced meat canner,
i Select- onw fresh, healthy meat
{for canning, Everything in connec
tion with handling the meat should
be as clean as possible as bacteria
spread very qaickly in dresied
meat, Meat may be canned raw,
browned, or reasted. Raw meat re
quires less time for preparing but
longer for processing, Do not ade
water while cooking except for
stew. It is best to cut the meat off
the Lone, and in convenent pieces
for canning. In cai-ning ribs and
back bone, the meat should be wen
over-cooked and then the bone is
removed.
Canning meat cooked means
more time in preparation but many
people prefer the flavor when pre
cooked. Precooked imeat may be
‘.‘:lewcd, browned, broiled, or roastea
but should not he thoroughly
cooked or the processing will cause
\il to be over cooked. It should be
packed while hot in clean jars or
\tin cars to within one half inch of
the top, and heat the pan gravy
boiing hot. Lo not add more grease
1 than negessary. Have pressure
{eooker ready. Process according to
ditectios, Those who wish to can

Regular Pruning
Of Peach Trees
.
Helpful To Fruit
l The regular and systematic
]lpruning of peach trees is a prof
iitul)le operation,” declared George
{H. Firor, extension horticulturist
{of the University of Georgia.
“Pruning is performed principally
for the purpose of distribution of
fruit that will lead toward qual
ity and quantity.”
! During the first three yvears the
;method of pruning the peach tree,
|according to Mr. ifiror, should be
directed toward the formation of
'a suitable head or framework, and
| may be considered a matter of
2truining rather than pruning. At
ithe time of its pldnting the young
plant should be cut to a height of
from 15 to 24 inches, and it is gen
erally preferable to remove all
lateral shoots, This cutting away
of the top and lateral branches
has a tendency to widen the de
l\'elopuwnt and spread of the tree.
{ “The peach tree should be thin- |
‘ncd to about three main brapches
during . the dormant season, ful-i
low;ng the first summer in the
zorchard," Mr. Firor belic\'es.l
“These branches ought to be well‘
distributed along and around the
main stem or trunk, and ecut back'
sufficiently to widen the develop
ment of secondary scaffold limbs
within 20 to 30 inches of the main
