Top Grating and Top Working used to desig

tree the purpose OF changing the top Of tree over TO

for this work arises from the fact that there now in the
State Washington many fruit are we'll estab

crops of Many of these can be grated over 70

purpose OF improving the variety for purpose

varieties.
top grating of that futng size can often
used very proftaby If the work is properly done the
new top will begin to fruit three four years in some

is tree much older and larger than would be possible

The scion wood for top grating should be gathered from
trees of the desired vgor and fruiting habit Strong well

be cut from the trees several days months before it
to be used and stored in moist sand earth in cool place
where it will remain dormant 1t is advisable this

selected without injury to the parent tree The scons
be cut from the parent and set gratis the day

orchard frequently results in barked
and injured trees In all such cases if
the wound extends only through the
bark and not into the wood and is dis
covered before the wood is dried,
good dressing of wax or wet clay may
protect the tissue and a new bark be
formed. If the wound extends into the
wood or the wood is dried, or if the
bark and outer layer of the sap wood
has been killed by winter injury or by
disease the tree can often be saved by
bridge grating. This work can be
done best in the early spring just be-
fore growth starts, but it can some
times be done with good results during
the growing season. If the work is
well done the trees may not suffer a
noticeable check in growth.
The edge of the bark about the
wound should be trimmed back to

growth should be used for the bridge
work. They are cut a little longer
