G. J. Flynt, who lives at Strouds Cross
roads, in Monroe county, has made new
discovery in the way of raising fruit trees b,
or at least he claims it is new, and 1t has
never been heard Of in that section before.
He propagates peach trees from outings
and he has all unusually large and fine ORCH
ard of trees grown from cuttings, from
which he derives very handsome income.
MIR. Flynt, when the sap begins to rise In
the spring, as shown by the swelling buds,
cuts off the end of the limb back TO where
It began growing the year before. as is
shown by the ring around the limb. On
this limb are the buds thas make the bloom.
When 1t has been cut off and sharpened 4,
Mr.. Flynt plants it from eight to twelve
inches deep. Long rows OF these twigs are
planted each year and the result is very
gratifying to Mr.. Flynt. He says he in
variably gets good trees from one-half or
three-fourths of the cuttings. and this
spring when the season was very dry and
unpropitious he secured trees from half of
the cuttings. Mr. Flynt says trees from
cuttings are absolutely certain TO produce
the same fruit as that on the tree from
which IL was cut. He considers his plan
much easier than budding and advises all
fruit growers to try it.
