SAGE FROM CUTTINGS
It frequently happens that old-estab-lished sage plants die out suddenly without any apparent reason. One, or at most, two, good-sized plants are all that are required, but if these suddenly die out one may be left without any of this useful herb.
It is a good plan to raise a few new plants every second year from cuttings. Side shoots with a heel of old wood attached make good cuttings and if planted fairly firmly in a free soil will root readily at the present time.
Choose a warm position and if possible use a sandy medium to strike the cuttings in. The plants may be moved after they have rooted if it be desired.
