It is not the purpose of this article to outline in detail the propagation methods for all types of horticultural shrubs, but merely to draw attention to the more common ways and to cite examples of shrubs on which these methods are used. Under the term horticultural shrubs, such a wide andâ€"varied list of plants is involved that of necessity the subject of producing these shrubs is one deâ€" manding not only a knowledge of the technique of propogating but a knowâ€" ledge 2@ well of the nature of the plants themselves. This latter idea is borne out by the fact that certain plan‘ts can be propagated successfully by the sexual or weed mathod while others which will not come true to type from seed must be propagated by grafting, budding, cuttings or some other of the asexual methods. Method of Producing Horticultural Shrubs VERTICAL may Grafting is used as a means of proâ€" pegating some roses and some of the evergreens. With most shrubs, howâ€" ever, results can be obtained more quickly by using cuttings. Budding, which is really a form of grafting, is used on roses hawthormns, lHlacs and the various types of flowering plum. This method can be used on 2lmost any type of shrub and is particwarly useful in the case of rare stous as it is economicai of material. Another method which is sometimes used is mound layering. This consisis of cuiting back the bush severely to force the development of numerous young shoots. At the same time soil is heaped up in the centre of the bush. Soft wood cuttings may be taken in early summer from new wood. They are usually set in a propagating bed of sand and are kept sheltered from the sun and wind until rected. This methâ€" od is usually practised in the greenâ€" house or in frames. Cuttings should be planted out as soon 2s they have rooted. Hardwood cuttings are sometimes used in propagating evergreens. more particulariy those types which cannot be grown true to type from seed. Since evergreens are usually slow in rooting the heel and mallet typas of cutting are often used. These consist of a small portion of the main stem along with the cutting, the idea being to proâ€" vide an extra supply of stored food on which the cutting may draw while it is forming its callus. Ordinarily everâ€" green cuttings are set out in the fall and given winter protection. Cold frames ore often used for this purpose. or sand and set out in the spring. Many of the common shrubs such as Deptzia, Wiegelia, Forsythia, Hydranâ€" gea and Spinea are usually propagated by this method. f puccess in rooting cuttings depends ’on the production of callus over the lower end of the stick. Callus is a spongy material laid down by the acâ€" tivity of certain plant cells in an efâ€" fort to close over the cut and it is from this callus that roots arise. Calâ€" lusing can be hastened by burying the cuttings upside down in moist sand 80 that the root end will be exposed to a warmer temperature than the rest of the cutting. In this way the buds are not so likely to become active too soon. These cuttings may be planted in the fall as soon as they have calâ€" lused or they may be stored in a cellar over winter in boxes of moist sawdust many growers favor the former meth Hard wood cuttings are usually | taken in the fall from wel ripened | wood of the previous season‘s |;mwth.l The wood should be cout into pieces‘ from 5 to 8 inches in ‘ength, usuall,\'; with three or four buds on each. There seems to be no great difference as farl, as ability to root is concerned between | cuttings which are taken through a | bud and those which have their firsll bud fart;hgr up the stem, although Probably the most common method of producing shrubs is by cutlings. Almost any plant can be propagated in this way although in some cases betâ€" ter methods have been devised. There are various types of cuttings, the most popular of which are the hard and soft wood cuttings. and are very liable to damp off if the soil has not been disinfected. Sowling the seed thinly in sandy soil and growâ€" ing the seedlings with a minimum of water will help to quite an extent to check damping off: Some of the evergreon shrubs are grown from seed in this country, alâ€" though the majority of them are imâ€" ported from European countries where labor is cheap and the climate more favorable. _ Evorgreen seedlings oreâ€" quire shading during their early life Seed is generaliy sown in light sandy soil and when plarted in the fall the ground shoull beâ€" mulched with straw or leaves to give protection during the winter.

Of the mammals, the horse attains forty to sixty years; the sheep, twenâ€" ty; the dog, twentyâ€"eight; the cat, twentyâ€"two; and the elephant and the whale 200 years. The greatest ago that can be attainâ€" ed by the varions species of animals varies considerably. Among mammais the large animals usually live longer than the smali ones, but this law is not valid among birds, the parrot, for example, reaching the same age as the eagle. Spiders live one to two years; beetâ€" les have been kept prisoners for five years. The queen bee often lives for five years, while the working bees usâ€" ually live only six weeks. Ants have been kept in captivity for fifteen years, while the toad has been known to atâ€" tain forty years. A turtle was kept in captivity for 150 years, and the specimen in question may have been 300 years old. The care of newly propagated stock is a subject. worthy of brief consideraâ€" tion. Ordinarily the seedlings or rootâ€" ed cuttings are set out in nursery rows, sufficient room being given to allow proper development. Frequent and thorough cultivation is absolutely necessary in the nursery if the young shrubs are to make good growth. Shrubs should never be left in the rame place in the nursery for more than three years as they will have a tendency to spoil their form by crowdâ€" Ing and to develop long tap roots which make them poor transplanters. The new growth coming up through the goil â€"will form roots and can be cut off from the parent plant the fo‘â€" lowing year. Animal Centenarians.
