J. 4V. 4V., Dundarave, writes to ask if he can increase his sup- ply of shrubs by cuttings and the best time for doing the work. Answer--A considerable num- ber of our best shrubs may be irlcreased by cuttings during the summer months. August and September being very satisfac- tnry. The cuttings should be from 3 to 6 inches long and should be taken from wood which is neither real soft and juicy nor real hard and woody. Better results will be obtained by leaving a little of the base of the shoot on. The cuttings should be inserted in a box of sand or cold frame and covered trith a sash. Keep moist but not wct. If box is used, cover tvtth glass snd place a piece of canvas or muslin over it to protect the cuttings from the direct rays of the sun. The following is a partial list of the shrubs which may be in- creased by cuttings: Buddleia-- But terflybush. Philadelphus--AIock Orange. Spiraea. Syringa--Earlier in the sum- mer is the best time for these. Vibur.num. IVeigela. I lydrangea. Japonica. Deutzia. Privet. I'. B. R., Dundaraves writes as follows:--Are dwarf fruit trees as successful for planting in small gardens as the larger var- it. ties? Answer.--Dwarf fruit trees are very successful for use in small gardens and it is very sur- prising that more use is not made of them. The only draw- back to them as we see it, is the fact that they do not live as long as the larger varieties. On the other hand the dwarfs bear earl- ier are easy to prune and spray and are very ornamental. A. L. asks how often phlox should be divided? Answer.--Phlox should be di- vided about every three years as a longer period in one place ex- hausts the soil and the crowns become very crowded. It is just as well if you have a plentiful supply to throw away the parts in the centre of the clump as t lley have been weakened by crowding. The parts around the outside are the best.
