A LESSON ON BUDDING,

The twig Is cut of during the growing
season, late In the summer or early IN
the fall, when buds are ripe or ma
ture. IL budding Is done in the sprine

other cool place for use when required.
The bud Is removed with a piece OF
bark which is a little oblong, and car
rIes a portion OF wood, and these are
inserted directly on the cambrian lay
err The slit that is made Is or various
STYLES. Generally the wound Ia caused
by two missions, one vertical and the
other crosswise. These must only cX-
tend through the bark. The vertical
silt should be from an inch 10 an inch
and half long; the cross cut should
be only enough to allow the llfting or
the corners of the bark, when loOsened
by the end Of the blade or the mandle
OF the budding knife, The bud Is now

pees easily, so as to let the bud "
more freely.
Tying IS done with slips of inside
Eastwood bark or with yarn or carpet
warp. Any soft Irvine or cord viii do.
Nurserymen use an imported material,
which is not necessary. The tying
draws the lifted bark closely around
the bud, and should remain till adhe-
slon is made. This should take place In
about three weeks, perhaps less. Then
draw a sharp knife across the cord,
so that the growth Of the bud Will not
be checked. or prevented altogether. II
budding is done near the roots, care
must be taken that sprouts do not take
the vitality Of the stem, This sort Of
budding is done on two year-old stock,
as a rule. Early summer budding Is
done on apple trees and some other
fruit trees, with buds cut the previous
fan and winter and kept in an Ice
house in sawdust. There are different
styles Of budding, not necessary TO re-

form of the cut which receives the bud
