Abstract
ROOT-CUTTINGS can be used for the rapid vegetative propagation of many plants; but, despite certain advantages, the method has not been widely employed in British horticultural practice, possibly because of its apparent uncertainty. Batches of cuttings which appear to be quite suitable may sometimes give a high proportion of successes and at other times fail completely. Recent work on the regeneration of root cuttings may throw an interesting light on this question.
