THE GARDEN :Propagation by Vegetative Means.! —IL'ayering ;or layerage and .runners.: 'Many plants may be .propagated by layers or by runners. The 'practic'e of layering consists in laying the stem or runners of certain plants on the •ground or on a mound of fertile soil, an same cases it is best to make an 'incision on the under side of the stem upward through a node. The opened. incision should then be lard on a mound of .light, ' sandy soil, and 'be covered with it. A suitably bent piece of wire. •s'haped like a hairpin, but somewhat longer, according bo the nature of the plant, may, be used to hold the stem in pos'ifion: Bythis method climbing roses may be pro- pagated 'directly in the border. Every stem may, if the work is carefully done, produce a plant. Bla'ckbe'rries 'may be quickly increased also in this way. It is, h'owe'ver, unnecessary to incise the stems in this case. In the case of runners the proceed- ure is identical with that of'layerage, The strawberry is readily propagated by runners, which ,start out from the basal portion of the old p'lan'ts, When the runner has developed a few inches a bud is +formed at, its' extre'm'ity, from which leaves spring, while from the underside roots " are ,eventually emit- ted.' The runner may continue to grow, ' and will produce oilier plants. in due c,ourse. The 'plants take root rapidly, after which they naay be sev- ered from tie ,parent, and in Spring or Pall be transplanted to form ,the strawberry patch. When strong and vigorous plants: are required for any special purposes,. the young plants may be rooted into three inch pots filled with. light,! s'an'dy 'soil. T'he pots slhould be plunged to their rrims" in the soil. The joint in the run'ner from which the roots will 'Form should thein be held down to the soil in the pots. 'A piece of wire 'is again effective for this purpose. The soil in the pots should be watered as often as neces- sary, and when !thoroughly rooted the plants may be removed for any pur- pose. Plants so. raised may. be potted into larger ,pots for forcing purposes, Where 'a small greenhouse is main- tained. or be kept in a..s1h'aded posi- tion. until a satisfactory plan't'ing time arrives.

T'he fronds should not be severed until the plants are rooted unless the' grower has a gaud 'propagator capable of maintaining' the necessary heat and humidity. Tire Boston Fent (Nep'hroiepsis), the best-known 'house fern, produces runners from which .' occasionally Young 'plants uiiy be raised indoors in much the same manner as straw- berry plants are rooted outdoors. It is well to encourage an occasional run- ner by allowing it to trail over a sur- face of sail in some receptacle, into which it will in all probability root, and in time produce a splendid plant; Propagation by buds-IBuddin'g or bud grafting. Budding is clone at two seasons of the ylear; opening Spring and late Summer and early Fall, For 'Spring use, buds of last year's growth are obtained, and for Fall budding, buds aee.o!btained from growth of the current season., During 'these, seasons the bark does ntat,adhere to the wood as tenaciously as during late Sprig and Summer, and is, therefore, more easily opened for the insertion of the 'bud.. • Stock and 'Scion.—The plant upon Which the bud is inserted is known as the "stock". The 'bud: is known as the scion or clan. Cherries, plums and peaches are propagated by budding, and also in some localities apples and pears. IIt is also .a favorite method of propagating the rose. 'The term shield budding is often applied to the process df budding from the fact that the 'bud when cut from the turf or "stick." as it is called by nurserymen, is of the shape of a shield. This form of budding is prac- ticed an the forementioned trees. !Propagation by Ringing.-JThis me- thod of propagation is somewhat sim- ilar to layering. The stems of the plants, •however, are rarely bent to the sail. Ringing is olften practiced' with potted plants and consists in making an incis'ion into',. or partly around, the stent some distance below its apex. An upward cut through a node and the removal of a wedge-shaped por- tion of the steam will leave a cavity in- to which a piece of moss may be pushed. The wound should then be encircled by a 'quantity of moss and be, tied with florists' 'raffia.. In some cases it is well to allow the wound to dry and ito callus ere binding with. moss.. Another method of ringing is to break a Rower pot in ,;two, tie it around the stem, allowing the ]'atter to pass through the drainage hole. Sandy soil of a, porous nature should be filled into .titre pot. This, like the moss, is kept fairly 'hoist and when roots have formed and permeated the mass of soil or the moss, as the case may be, the stern is severed' from, the parent immediately below the roots. A few days after potting into suitable pots, these plants may be used for any desired purpose. A 'few common plants which may readily be raised' in this way are Crotofts, Dracaenas, Ru'b- ber,Pl'aiits and Patsies. The mos's should not be r'e'moved when p'o'tting, but allowed Ito remain, aird• will fur- nish ,upon decomposition, food for tIle plant, Plants raised by.risagieg should 'be potted into light s'o'il.: containing leaf . mould, sand and loam.

A cash outlay is ai'ot'tieoessary, as he may procure native trees and 'Shrubs in neighboring .woods and along the fence -rows. The trees should be placed to give a .setting for the .buildings, rather than hiding them. Their ultimate size should be kept 'in mind in order that, they will be spaced properly, and will not be too close to the buildings. As the root hairs that take up food from: the soil are at the end of the.' roots, care should ,be taken to pre- serve as tnan'y of •these root hairs as possible. [When moving trees in dry weather the roots should ,be .protected .by wet burlap or (blankets. ,In planting, the 'hole should be suf- ficiently large to take the roots with- out cramping. !Rich loam should he well worked in around : the roots. Some of 'the branches should be re- moved to offset the loss of roots. and in pruning, the final desired shape of the tree should be kept in mind, such as the distance the lowest branch should be 'from the ground.' T'he white elm, sugar maple, red maple, 're'd oak, white ash, and white oak are fine trees for planting in all parts of Southern 'Ontario.

Early •spring is the best time to plant trees in Ontario. Chances of success will be lessened greatly if left until late spring, as growth 'will 'be quite .active and tete moving will be a 'greater shock to the 'tree.

Chester, dean of Canadian railroad veterans,; has just retired, it Winnipeg, after 25 years in the service .of the Canadian Pacific Railway and another 25 with the Brotherhood of Railway Conduc- tors. Excursions run by the Canadian Pacific. Railway between various points in Eastern Canada have met with unqualified success. To date, some 17,000 persons have been carried on visits and holidays, over different week -ends, by this means. The 1931 census shows 728,244 occupied farms in Canada, or 17,154 more than were shown when the count was taken in 1921. Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia are responsible for the increase, with the last-named, in the lead. Navigation opened in Montreal on April 18, with the Canadian Pacific freighter Beaverburn the first trans-Atlantic ship in port. Her master Captain E Landy, receiving the gold -headed cane,' presented annually by the Harbor Commissioners, for this exploit. Passenger honors in the trans- Atlantic service also fell to the Canadian Pacific, when the liner Montclare docked on the afternoon of Tuesday April 19, as the first passenger stip to arrive in Mont- real. Thus the C. P. R. claims double honors for the 1932 season. Liverpool witnessed an unique event on April 5, when 750 British boys and girls disembarked from the Canadian Pacific liner Mont- rose, after -a special cruise in the Mediterranean. A great London daily newspaper has offered prizes for the best essays written on the trip. Some weird stories have been told of feline sagacity, but the open record would appear to be held' by a Siamese cat, which "stowed away" on the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of Britain, when she left England to go, to New York to begin her world cruise last winter. Pussy finally deigned to show herself when the ship was half -way through her long, trip. The Empress got a rousing welcome in New York when her trip was over, and the much -travelled cat was delivered to its owner, in the Southern States.
