>How would I go about starting cutting from my Illinois Everbearing?

I've rooted both dormant cuttings - handled similar to their relatives, the 
fig- and summer cuttings, taken in late July-early August.  Pencil to 
finger-size cuttings, 6-8 inches long.  Remove all but the top 3 or 4 leaves, 
and cut about half of each leaf off.  Dip the basal end in your choice of 
rooting hormone and stick in a 50/50 mix of sand & peat.  Place in a 
relatively shady spot, and water daily.  Willow water may or may not help in 
inducing rooting at a more rapid rate.  
They usually root either way at a relatively high %.
