cause to reproduce biologically: multiply 2: to cause to spread: extend *3: to
foster growing knowledge of, familiarity with, or acceptance of (as an idea or
belief): publicize

propagate this plant.” It wasn’t until he had coated the last of thirty

the Four Tops’ Levi Stubbs crooning, “feed me Seymour.”
