Abstract
1. An investigation was made to determine the regenerative capacities of leaf and leaflet cuttings of the tomato, and of stem and leaf cuttings of the Irish potato. 2. Leaf cuttings of the tomato regenerated roots from the petioles, and shoots in the axils of the leaflets and from the petiole. Some specimens produced flowers and fruits. Leaflet cuttings regenerated roots but had not differentiated shoots when the experiment was discontinued. 3. Stem cuttings of the potato converted one of the axillary buds into a tuber, tuber and roots, or a tuber in combination with a shoot and roots. Some produced roots directly from the base of the cutting. Potato leaf cuttings with axillary buds converted the axillary bud into either a shoot or a tuber.
