Abstract
Abstract The author states that the experiment of a new method of propagating plants has been so successful, that he has taken the liberty of forwarding to the Royal Society this short paper upon the subject, for the guidance of those who are interested in the advance of horticulture. It had occurred to him, that if a cutting of a plant were sealed at the base, so as to exclude the moisture of the soil from ascending the stem in injurious quantities, the method of striking cuttings of most species of plants would not be so precarious a process as at present; and accordingly some collodion was obtained in order to make the experiment.
