Top working as means of estab-
fishing weak growing variety on a
stronger root system than its own is
now coming into favor. Some varie-
ties of apple susceptible to attacks
OF root rots and other diseases, could
no doubt be successfully grown on
roots of varieties which are apparent
ly resistant. Broken and diseased
limbs may be saved by grating and
progressive fruit growers who desire
to test new varieties can best do it by
grating few cions into bearing
trees.
Systems of grating over old trees
have long been practiced and expert
ence has proven that, If properly
done. top-working brings quicker re-
turns than the replanting of young
trees. 1t Is not uncommon to see
ialrly good crop on the three-year-old
top OF a top-worked tree. Trees prop
erly worked-over give tops as de-
slrable and sometimes more SO than
trees OF the same variety grown from
nrst-class nursery stock
Some years ago the fruit grower
looked upon the practice of grating
as mysterious art and upon the man
who went about doing the work as a
sort OF wizard; as a matter of fact,
1t Is so simple that any careful or
chardist can and should do it him
self. All of our common fruit trees
can be easily grated or budded.
In grating young trees in the
field 1T is probably well to do 1t as
early In the life of the tree as pos
sible. AS soon as good strong
framework can be secured the tree is
ready for top-working. The small
size OF the stubs make cleft or inlay
grating difficult and kerf-grafting
(used when the wood is very brittle)
almost out of the question.
A style of grating known as whip
grating Is well adapted to working
small stubs Of young trees. With this
method 1t may be possible to set the
cions after one years growth in the
Held, but 1t is doubtful whether much
time will be gained by such practice.
The cion should be as near the size
OF stub as possible. If anything a lit
tie smaller. The Joint should be we'll
wrapped with waxed cloth and to be
doubly sure all air is excluded, may
be painted over with warm wax
In grating young trees it is a COM
mon practice to remove all of the
top. pl,-cing cions in those arms one
wishes to keep. 1t is always well to
work few extra stubs as accidents
may befall some of the cions. The
season for top-grafting the young
trees is the same as for old trees.
Budding is a simple method of put
ting a new top on young trees.
