Cuttings may be made of soft or un- ripe wood, or of hard and fully matured wood. Of the soft kinds are cuttings (or "slips") of geraniums, fuchsias, and the like. Of the hard kinds are cuttings of grapes and currants. 233. Soft cuttings are made of shoots which are sufficiently mature to break or snap when bent double. They comprise at least one joint, and sometimes two or three. The leaves are removed from the lower end, and if the upper leaves are large they may be cut in two, or sheared, to... prevent too rapid evaporation. A soil free from vegetable matter, as sand, is pref- erable. It is generally necessary to shade the cuttings until they are established. 234. Hardwood or dormant cuttings are taken in fall or winter. They usually comprise two or more buds. They root better if they are callused (partially healed over on the bottom end) before they are planted : therefore, it is customary to bury them in sand, or to stand them in sand, in a cool cellar until spring. In THE PROPAGATION OP PLANTS 139 spring they are set into the ground up to the top bud.
