Description: The complete story of plant propagation by accepted modern methods is fascinating and valuable knolwedge for every gardening enthusiast. In Plant Propogratin in Pictures renowned horticulturist Montague Free presents the various aspects of plant propagation in a series of short introductions and follows them with step-by-step pictures explained by captions. Among the means of propogation that Mr. Free considers are seeds and spores - nature's bizarre examples such as parachutes; vegetative, or asexual, propagation; cuttings - on house plants (when, how, and where) - in the garden (timing, general care); propagation through bulbs, tubers, stocks; specialized hoots such as runners (strawberry) and suckers (lilace); propagation by layering - ground, mound, and air; and propogation by graphing. Mr. Free includes a helpful chapter on rooting mediums and equipment. In addition, there is a valuable Appendix, which contains a Propagation Note Book (tabulating the kind of plant, dates inserted and rooted, and pertinent remarks concerning each operation); a list of understocks and scions; and the author's report on plants that were rooted and those that failed to root by air-layering. The gardening enthusiast, after reading this interesting and complete account of the fundamentals of plant propagation, may discover that he can have a more luxuriant garden that he ever before thought possible.
