Pnith dinner s in A new method for the propagation of bamboo developed by the department of agriculture at the Puerto Rico experiment station will now make this graceful wood, which adapts itself to so many uses, available for wider distribution in the Western hemisphere. * -e Propagation of bamboo has always been difficult, since flowering material canrot be easily secured. Species vary ir. their habits, often without flowering or producing seeds for many years. By means of thei new method many plants can be obtained. According to the new method, a whole bamboo joint is excavated with its root. The side branches are pruned off, so that only a few leaves ' remain, and the whole joint is then ! laid horizontally in *a furrow and j covered with soil. The addition of nitrogen fertilizers or stable manure, together with frequent irrigation, considerably aids germination.
