stock as Is desired by the proprietor Of
the trees to be operated upon; it is, there

be able to bud their own trees.

The wood TO be baided should not b.
more than two years old; II is better if
but a year old. for as the bud actually
takes root in the wood ofthe tree to which
it is placed, it is important that this wood
should be soft. Besides, as the wood
grows older, the bark becomes thicker and
less easy TO work. Budding is generally
don, on trees year or two old, but it
can be succ ssfully, though not as haul,ly,
done on trees fifty years, provided the
bud is only placed in young shoots From
the main limbs of most old trees there
