Bedding, or grating by germs, says
MIR. Loudon, consists, In ligneous plants,
in taking an eye or bud attached to por-
lion of the bark, and Transporting i: 10 a
place on another or different ligneous veg
etable. In herbaceous vegetables the
sane operation NAV be performed, but
with less success. The object in view in
budding, is almost always that OF graft
ing, and depends on the same principle, all
the difference between bud and scion
being, that bud is a shoot or scion IN en-
bryo; Ia olher respects, budding Is con-
Quoted on the same principle as grazing.
la every case the bad and the stock mus.
be boiancul!y related. An apple may be
budded on pear or thorn, bnt no! upon a
plum or peach. Comnon building is per.
formed from the begiuuiag Of July 10 the
middle of August,
l. is Indispensable that The bad to De in
inserted should be fully formed or ripe.
After the incis.on Of the stock, great care
must betaken il raising the bark, that the
c@mb!um BE not scraped or injured The
cum5iWat is that soft portion between the
wood AMI The bark destined io gi"e sup
port to the descending fbers of the buds,
which tiDers subsequently become embed,
ded ia it. In budding, therefore, the bark
must be very carefully lifted up, and not
forced from the wood with bone or met
al blade as is TO olleadone,
For Propagalng hoce frul. the oper-
