If desired, the low- er buds may be removed as the buds form shoots, not roots. The roots are formed at the callous. If a considerable number of cut- tings are being set out they may be placed about eight or ten inch.s apart in rows. To allow for easy cultivation leave a fair- ly generous space between the rows. After the cuttings have been established for a year the ones ivhich have rooted nicely should be transplanted so as to force the formation of a good root system. There is considerable difference of opinion among gro~vers as to whether cuttings should be plac- e;I in their permanent locations at the end of one year or two years. It really depends a great deal on what progress the cut- ting or plant has made during the first year. If the growth has been slow we believe it better to transplant at least once before setting out permanently. A Garden Lover writes: ibly lawn is thin and what grass there is does not seem to flour- ish. IVould a top dressing of manure improve it? If so when should it be applied? Answer: A dressing of man- ure would undoubtedly improve your lawn, but be sure the man- ure is well rotted. Even then you will find that you have in- creased considerably the number of weeds by such an applicatiorl. A good application of bone meal anytitne during the next month or so would help a great deal and there will be no extra crop of weeds to contend with if this is substituted for the manure. AVe ivould suggest that yo«rake over your lawn ivith a garden rake and sow about one half pound of good grass seed tv each two hundred square feet. The bone meal, by the way, may be raked in at the same time. After the seed has been sown, roll or tamp the soil lightly. Next spring you should notice a great improvement in your lawn. Use about five pounds of bone meal to one hundred square feet of lawn. If this attention is given each fall you will undoubtedly be gratified by the results. AVe appreciate your let ter, and would like to hear from you a- gain. Every Purchaser a Pleased Cus- tomer. A considerable number of our garden flowers, trees and fruits may be propogated by cuttings. By cuttings we mean the taking of part of the growing plant which we desire to perpetuate and inserting it in water or soil so that it may form roots and grow. Cuttings may be divided into two classes;; one class consist- ing of cuttings taken from hard or dormant wood during the ivinter months, and the other of those taken from immature or growing wood, at certain peri- ods of the growing season. These two classes may be sub-divideil into other classes such as, stem, leaf, root and tuber cut tings (such as parts of potato). For the propogating of such plants as grapes, currants, goose- berries, willows and other soft wooded trees and plants, we u~e what is called dormant cuttings. By taking such cuttings in the fall or early winter months and placing them in moss or sand in a location safe from frost, the end inserted will form a callous. The cuttings should be planted out in a sandy well drained spot in the spring after danger of frost is past. If placed out earli- er some protection should be provided. However we find that fully as much progress is made if the setting out is deferred un- til spring like weather is assur- ed. Hard wood cuttings should EVe deliver.
