b. +. Dunkley, in the Rural UoriJ,
gives a new manner of budding, which
may interest our orchardists and nur-
serymen: "The way to bud is to
place your knife half an inch above
the bud, and then scalp oil a slice an
inch or more in length through the
bark and wood (including the bud of
course; then scalp oil just such a
place on the stock; tie the bud ON with
a rag One-fourth of an inch wide, just
as you would tie up cut finger, and
your work is done. Leave the bud
out of the bandage. This was called
the new English method twenty years
ago. IL is universally practiced by
intelligent gardeners throughout the
world. You can bud two by this
plan in the same time it takes you to
bud one by the old clumsy way; and
then if your bud does not take, little
damage is done to your stock. The
wound will heal in twenty days, and
the buds are more certain TO take, for
this plan brings the outer bark to out.

fell gently to sleep. The above is an
actual fact, an we have vouchers for
