Van Belle on Gardening Ail About Propagation This is one of the rnost talked about and written about subjects in gardening, it is rnost important to know the basis of reproduction, wben you talk about living Plants. As always in nature we can see the sure steady hand of Our creator, everything fails in order and there is not one thing that does not faîl into p lace when it cornes ta, plants, a good example would be the way a forest is rejuvenated after a serious fire, due to the ligbt which is available after the trees are bare, seeds can germinate in this rich soul or rich'compost, and, in a few year we have new trees ta tyakesthe place of the ones that were'burned down. oegetda jump on spring, try seindoor propagation and ta give, you the know-how, 1 arn going ta write severai articles on propagation. What- is propagation, it is the reproduction of plants, and this can be done in several ways, aitbough we divide thern into two groups, the first is the reproduction fromn seed and the second is the repro- duction by vegetative propa- gation. The seed reproduction is called the sexual reproduct- ion- since it invoives sexual union for the seed ta be fertile. Vegetative propagation is called the asexual.reproduct- ion since it does not require the spxual union and this can be done by man or tbrougb the ingeniaus ways of nature. W e will start with the vegetative reproduction, and explore the differeht ways that yau can reproduce the plants you would like to have in the bouse or for the garden ini the spring. Some plants will not corne true fromi seeds, or sorne plants will have no seeds Are You Concerned about Conserving Energy ... at ail, suech as the pineapple plant or the banana tree, so they must be propagated the vegetative way. There are also a lot of plants that can be propagated faster by this means, such as privet hedging geraniurn cuttings,and with the vegetative reproduction it is possible to produce plants and trees that are true to the parent plant, each new one indentical, a very gaod example is the Crimson King red Maple, it was found in a field of seedlings, then repro- duced and to this day each and every Red Ma ple is the same as the original tree, through this process. Probably 80 per cent of the outdoor nursery stock is reproduced this way, good examples are Roses, Evergreens, Trees, Shurbs, Vines etc. and this method is predorinately used for the indoor plants as well, good examples are the plants that are made by way of cuttings such as ail the Ivy plants, Philo, Pôthos. We will break this groun of vegetative produced plants into different divisions of method for propagation, these are: Cuttings, Layering, Budding, Grafting, Divisions, Runners and there are a few more ways but tbey are very closely connected to the above divisions. The first one is cuttings, and as 1 have rnentioned above probably the most important one of themn ail, since by this means you can reproduce plants right in your own home, or at sehool in the classroom. We will dig into the best rooting stimulants, how ta cut the stern, the best medium for propagation light, etc., so read next week's newspaper for the best in cuttings. Until next week happy indoor gardening.
