Not illustrated. 1918 Excerpt: ...The roots used were from one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter, and when planted in the open, about 3 inches long. Others planted in the greenhouse were about 1$ inches long. Whether older roots propagate with greater difficulty, or whether some unfavorable conditions not readily seen interfered with success, cannot be told with certainty. PROPAGATION BY LAYERS. The method commonly used in propagating dwarf trees is by some form of layerage. A considerable number of attempts were made to induce root formation by air layerage. Earthen pots were split, and in early August were placed in appropriate position on growing shoots and filled with sphagnum moss. They were kept moist by frequent watering. None of these air layers showed root formation. It proved difficult with the rather small pots used to maintain uniform moisture conditions, and this may have had something to do with the failure. In the spring of 1917 two-year-old trees growing in the nursery row were cut off 3 or 4 inches above the ground and allowed to stool. Later in the summer soil was heaped up around the new shoots to the height of 4 or 5 inches. The varieties used were Ben Davis, Bough, Rhode Island Greening and Transcendent. None of these shoots have been separated in an attempt to establish them as independent trees, but investigation in the spring of 1919 showed that most shoots of all these varieties bore small roots, coming out near the junction with the cut-off stump. PROPAGATION BY THE NURSE-ROOT METHOD. It is well known to most nurserymen that root-grafted trees often send out roots from the scion, and may eventually become established, partially, at least, on their own roots. In an attempt to collect information a questionnaire was sent to the leading nurserymen. About 75 replies...
