The hardwood cutting met- hod has been used for several centuries, and today with modemn technology, if is still being donc the way they used to make them in the begin- ning, and if does flot matter whether you live'in Oshawa or in China or Europe, if is all being donc the same way, cxccpt for some mechanical hclp, in the trimming and hL,rvesting. Most hardy plants can be made from hardwood eut- tings, good examples are the different hedgc plants such as privet, honeysuckle, alpine currant.

They should be at least 8 to 10 inches long, cut them off with a pruning sbear or clipper, and bring them into the bouse, then cut them to about 10 inches, then with a very sharp dlean knife make a slanted cut on the bottom of the eutting. Make sure that it is a dlean cut with no raffled edges, then dip the cutting int o a rooting hormone and place them ini a box witb sharp sand, covering them up f xwo thirds of the cutting and piace ir, a cool spot ln the basernent or fruit celiar until the wcathcr breaks and you can work the soil in the gar-den. Make a spot la the gardenavailable that will not betrampled on, then dig this up to a depth of at least 6 inches, then bring the box of cuttings from the cool spot and you will notice when you take the cuttings out, that they have alrcady calloused on the bottom of the cutting, and in some cases they will already have rooted. Use a spade or planting trewel for planting them into the soul, try flot to knock the calouses off the cutting when planting, and the best way is to plant them in rows for casier cultivating, within 3 fo 4 F.
