Many of our deciduous shrut4,
trees and vines are easily propagat
ed by means of hardwood cuttings
X taken during the dormant or win
ter season. A deciduous tree or
ahrub is one that sheds its leaves
during late fall and grows a new
set of leaves in the spring. Exam
ples of deciduous shrubs are spi
raea, crape myrtle, pearl bush,
shrub althea and mock orange.
Cuttings should be made from
wodd of the past summer’s growth.
A convenient size to handle is from
sfx to eight inches in length and
they may be tied in bundles of
25, 50, or 100 cuttings per bundle,
taking cart that the base ends of
the euttings are together and the
top ends together. Prepare a small
french in a well-drained location,
replace the bundles of cuttings in the
with the Base ends up ’and
the tops down and cover with sand
or sandy soil. The bundles may be
placed in a sloping position. They
should be covered two or three
inches deep. The reason for bury
ing the bundles of cuttings upside
down is to prevent early growth
of shoots and to promote growth
of callus tissue and roots on the
basal ends of the cuttings because
of the heat from the sun. Before
growth starts in the spring the
bundles of cuttings must be taken
up and planted out in rows in the
garden. In order to conserve space i
the cuttings may be placed as I
close as three or four inches apart
in the row with about three-fourths'
of the. basal end of the cutting
below {pound and one-fourth above
ground. There must always be at
least one bud above ground. When

only a few cuttings are to be made
they may be planted directly in
the garden row instead of burying
them until spring.
Bunch grapes are usually propa
gated by means of hardwood cut
tings taken at pruning time. Grape
cuttings are cut about 10 or 12
inches long and when set in the
row must have at least one bud
above ground and one, below. Cut
tings of muscadine and scupper
nong grapes are very difficult to
root and therefore they are usually
propagated by layers instead of
cuttings.
Figs are easily propagated by
hardwood cuttings, as are currents
and gooseberries and most climb
ing-type roses.
Of course, it is not to be ex
pected that all of the cuttings will
root successfully. The percentage
of rooting will depend upon the
kind of plant and the care in han
dling. The rooted cuttings should
be allowed to remain where set
for one full growing season. Then
they may be taken up and move
to a more permanent location.
Frost and Your
Freezer Need
to Be Separated
'Frost and freezing sound like
they naturally go together, but
frost and, your freezer should be
separated occasionally, says Nita
Orr, State college extension spec
ialist in frozen foods.
It’s good management to defrost
your home freezer periodically—
when the frost is. about half an
inch thick. When the frost is
thicker than this, it wastefully re
duces the food storage space and
makes the lreezer inconvenient to
use,
U. S. Department of Agriculture
freezer authorities suggest that
your freezer may be frosting up
too rapidly because you open the
freezer more often than necessary
and leave it open longer than nec
essary, because all foods put into
the freezer are not packaged pro
perly so that moisture valuable
for food quality escapes, or be
cause the gasket on your door
does not make a good seal. If ex
cessive frost accumulates around
the opening, it’s a warning sign.
Install a new gasket if that is nec
essary after the lid has been ad
justed.
You can remove frost by scrap
ing, but about once a year, discon
nect* the freezer, remove frost and
wash the box with soda water.
Scrape frost from the freezer only
according to manufacturer’s in
structions. The inside finish is not
the same .on all boxes and a
sharp-edged scraper should not be
used on some of them..
Of course, it’s best to defrost
the freezer when it’s nearly empty,
do if yourwK.^
