-Growing shrubs and trees by
planting seeds is not always the
quickest way to do it but sometimes
it ij^jm easiest way to get results.
Th^Hs usually a great deal of
interest, at this time of the year,
in propagating berried shrubs- or
trees—such as hollies, nandina, and
dogwood—by seeds.
Since some of these plants do
not come to vareity from seeds
there is usually some variation
from the original plant. For in
stant, if you wanted to propagate
pink dogwood, you should do it by
grafting and not by seeds because
the seedling probably would not be
pink. The same would be true of
many other trees and shrubs. To
be certain that you get the same
as the parent plant you must pro
pagate it by vegetative plants parts
such as cuttings, layers and grafts.
To propagate the berried plants
by seeds, collect mature berries of
fruits and remove all the pulpy
material from the seeds. Thorough'
ly wash the seeds and then air
•dry them. If you have an outdoor
seed bed prepared they may be
planted immediately. The planting
medium should be a sandy soil
or a mixture or sand ami peat.
Otherwise you may stratify them
over winter by placing them in a
box of moistened sand or sand-peat
mixture and keeping them in a
cool place until planting in spring.
The seeds are usually placed in lay
ers in between layers of the sand.
Peach pits may be stratified in
this same manner.
Do not be discouraged if germ
ination is slow. Holly seeds, for in
stance, often do not germinate lintil
the second' season. Nandina and
dogwood usually germinate easily..
Southern magnolia is difficult to
propagate. The usual method is.by
seeds. Although it does not pro
duce a berry, the seeds are encas

be removed. Seed should be gather
ed as soon as they begin to break
out of the fruit in the fall. The
pulp may then be removed and the
seed washed and stratified in sand
until the next spring when they
may be planted out in the nursery
row. Keep them cool until you are
ready for them to germinate.
In propagating (he hollies by
seeds, it must be remembered that
most hollies are dioecious—that is,
they have male and female plants.
The female plants are the only ones
that produce berries. A large per
centage of the plants produced by
planting seeds will be male and,
therefore, will not produce berries.
Other horticultural plants of this
nature are persimmons and Mus
cadino grapes.
