Text Appearing Before Image:
30 CIRCULAR NO. 28, FEDERAL EXPERIMENT STATION The maximum root extension of vanilla plants examined in the sta- tion vanillery was to a distance of about 5 feet from the base of the tree to which the plant was attached. The usual distance is about 2 to 3 feet. In general, the root system is confined to the area covered by the mulch which is within about a 5-foot diameter circle.

Figuee 20.—Implements for establishing and maintaining a vanillery. Left to right, a Pickax for building terraces in rocky soil and for grubbing roots, & machete for obtaining mulch, preparing cuttings, and numerous odd jobs, c grubbing hoe for preparing terraces; d wooden mallet for driving small bucare cuttings; e raffia for tying vanilla vines; / post-hole digger for planting sup- port trees and placing a fence around the vanillery; g shovel for preparing terraces or planting support trees; h fork for handling mulch; and i rake for preparing and shaping terraces. The minimum equipment with which the job can be done are machete, grubbing hoe, and shovel.

The 2- to 4-node cuttings should be used only in an emergency when the larger cuttings are unavailable. After cuttings are removed from the vine, they should be kept in a cool place until planting. All foliage attached should be left. It is not essential that the cuttings be planted immediately, but they should be planted within 2 or 3 weeks. Cuttings of Vanilla fragrans are available from several established
