. The nursery-book : a complete guide to the multiplication of plants . Plant propagation. 50 CUTTAGE. box is placed a common cylinder stove, with smoke-pipe to the chimney. Inside the stove is an iron pipe, bent in a spiral. This coil, which is directly in the fire, is connected by. ^4. BarnariTs propagatutg'tatik. pipes with the tank, one pipe leading to one side of the partition and the other to the opposite side, as shown in the drawing. If water is placed in the tank, it will fill the pipes and form a continuous circulating system through the pipes and up one side of the bo. ]iast the end of the partition, and down the other side. A fire in the sto'e causes the ^â ater to circulate through the tank and impart to the bed a genial â .varnith. There are various tanks designed to rest upon the pipes in a greenhouse. The principle of their construction is essentially the same as of those described in previous pages, âbottom heat, a tray of water, and a bed of soil. Earthen-..- ware tanks are commonly employed, but a recent English device. Fig. 55, is made of zinc. It is about 7 inches deep, and holds an inch or two of water in the bLittom. A trav 5 inches deep sets into the tank. The water is supf)lied through a tunnel at the base. Cuttmgs usually "strike" better when they touch the side of the pot than when they are wholly surrounded by soil. This is probably because the earthenware insures greater uniformity in drainage than the earth, and supplies air and a mild bottom heat; and it is possible that the deflection of the plant food towards the side of the pot, because of evaporation therefrom, induces better growth.
