/ Ii the bud has taken, the bandage may
be removed, eating it on the side Of the
tree opposite the bud, so as not to disturb
the latter. If the bark which was cut to
receive the bud does not seem to have
united with the wood, re-bandage it, so
that the suu and air may not dry and
harden the bark. The second baulage
should not be quite so tight as was the
first, and it may be allowed to remain un-
til spring. If the bud looks shriyorel,

gin to swell their buds preparatory to
coming into leaf, the stock should be cut
or sawn square of about three inches
above the bud all the sap will be then
at the command Of the bud, aud start 1t
into a free growth. Numerous suckers
will start from the stump, and these should
be rubbed off as soon as they make their
appearance. As soon as the shoot from
the new bud is several inches long it
should be so tied to the stump above it
that it will be constrained to grow in an
upright position, for it is to form the
trunk Of the new tree. In the succeeding
budding season, the shoot will have form
ed some hard wood, and be able to stand
alone. The stump may be then cut of,
commencing about half an inch above
where the bud joins it, and sloping down
ward this sort of cut will heal and cover
with bark more rapidly than qaaro cut
would, besides being ncater in appearance
when healed.
| Stocks in which all attempts at budding
fail may be, in the following spring, cut
square off below all the incisions, aud be
grated.
Suckers en- old trees may be operated
upon in the same manner as directed for
young trees.
In the selection Of stocks for budding,
the comparative yigor Of che stocks aud
the trees from which buds ARE taken
should be considered vigorous varieties
should not be budded on poor growers,
nor is it advisable to bud on stocks Of del
icate or refined varieties. AS the charac-
ter of the fruit is determined by the bud,
the stock need only possess the elements
Of hardy, healthy, vigorous growth.-Ex.
