Fruit trees can be budded in Octo
ber," says newspaper before me- 8,
they can, but will the buds grow? |
seems as though October is entirely to,
late, but, possibly, the newspaper il
question is correct. On the goth da,
OF September. 1879, happening to he a
Esquire w. A. Howel's, below Morris
town. put in several peach buds, and
he informed me in 1881 or 1882. thai
one ilVed, grew and bore fruit. / never
put in buds so late till this fall. On the
Ehh OF September, ultimo, put in four
peach buds, and on yesterday TUESDAY
morning l pulled the wrappers off of all
ana found them alive. The usual time
allotted to budding is from the Goth d,v
OF July to September 10th. 7 have
known budding to be dene in June the
buds of which lived and did we'll
though June budding is considered en-
'irely too early. But budding can be
successfully done whenever the bark
peals nicely. Believe l will mt in a
bud or two tomorrow, and report to
you the result.
Ahls reminds me to say that, in No
Vember, 1873, l put tea-rose bud into
prairie rose, for Miss Emma j, Long.
OF Morristown. The bud lived, but as
the stalk was not cut off, as it should
have been, the next February, it re-
NAMED in a comatose state till the
spring of 1880, when the tall bush was
trimmed very closely, and the stalk cut
down to near the bud, when it burst
out, grew rapidly and furnished tea
roses from the bud which had slumber-
ed sixteen months. This, to me, was an
extraordinary occurrence. -ar
