Rso,ins a Branch. l9gS -

The following is said to be q Chinese
method of roofing q limb or branch too
high from the ground for the ordinary
plan of layering:
Strip a ring of bark one inch wide
from the branch or cion to be rooted.
surround the ring with q ball of rich
earth, over which suspend \ vessel of
water. Let the vessel be so pierced
that the water Will escape drop by drop
and fall upon the ball Of earth; keep
tho vessel supplied with water until the
branch has rooted. which will be in the
autumn, IL the work was done in the
spring. Then cut the new plant from
the old branch just below the ball and
transplant. In this menner the Chi
nese root bearing branches and have
diminutire fruit bearing trees in boxes.
To make this work more certain of
good results, bear in mind that the ball
Of earth must not be kept wet. but only
moist, and a single drop of water every
minute would keep moist . ball of
earth rs large as \ mans head. even IN
dry weather. The puncture in the YES
sci, therefore. must be very small, only
a leak. The ball of earth should be
proportioned to the size of the branch
TO be rooted; but no ball, we should
say, smaller than four or six inches in
diameter. The ball may be made b.
resting the branch upon a fas board on
the end of a pole cut the proper length
to reach up to the place; then with the
earth on the board, pack it in q moist
state around the mound. and sew
around it a piece of coarse cloth or
bagging. or it may be padded with
moss and wrapped with Irvine. II too
high for ground work, the operator
will be mounted upon 3 movable plat
form OF table.
