Budding, Inserting the Bud; b, Ty-
Ing; c, Cutting OF the Top.

rial. As soon as the buds have united
with the stock the igature should be
cut in order to prevent girdling the
stock. This done, the operation is
complete until the Following spring,
when all the trees In which the buds
have "taken" should have the top cut
OF just above the bud.
The removal of the top forces the
entire strength of the root into the
bud, and since the root itself has not
been disturbed by transplanting
more vigorous growth usually results
from the bud than from scions in whip
or crown grating.
The one objection to budding is
that 1t causes an unsightly crook In
the body of the tree unless the tree
Is planted deeply enough In the or
chard to cover the deformity. In rig
orous climates, where trees upon ten
der roots are likely to suffer from Sc
we're winters, q bud Of a hardy sort
upon tender root is no harder than
the root, because budding leaves
portion Of the stock exposed above the
surface OF the soil and thus precludes
the possibility of the development Of
roots from the portion above the bud;
while pieceroot-grafted tree with q
long scion is practically the same as
a tree propagated from a cutting, as
the scion win strike root and the new
plant win be upon its own root. In
regions where severe winters do not
enter as factor there Is undoubtedly
q number Of reasons why budding will
be the most desirable method Of re-
producing horticultural varieties.

NR(IIARD
GLrANIN(1S
BUDDING GAINING IN FAVOR
Most Economical I'm OF Artificial
Reproduction of \ lit Trees
Operation Is simple.

| prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Budding Is one Of the most econom-
ical forms of artificial reproduction,
and each year witnesses its more gen.
eral use. Some nurserymen have gone
SO far as y use 1t as substitute for
all modes of grating, save whip graft
ing in the propagation of the dwarf
pear. Budding is economical in the
amount Of wood used from which to
take buds. In this method a single
bud does the work Of the three or more
upon the scion used In grating. But
while 1t Is economical of wood, 1t is
expensive in the use of stocks, q seed
ling being required for each tree,
while, with the piece-root system Of
grating, two, three, or more stocks
can be made from single Seeding.
The operation Of budding is simple
and can be done with great speed by
expert builders. The expense of the
operation is, therefore, not more than
that Of whip grating, although the
work has usually to be done In July,
August, or early September. The usu-
al plan Is for man to set the buds
and boy to follow closely and do the
tying.
The bud should be taken from wood
Of the present seasons growth. Since
the work of budding is done during the
season Of active growth, the bud sticks
are prepared SO that the petiole or
stem of each leaf Is left attached to
serve as handle to aid In pushing
the bud home when inserting it be-
meath the bark Of the stock. This is
what Is usually called shield bud and
Is cut so that small portion Of the
woody tissue Of the branch is removed
with the bud.
The stock for budding should be at
least as thick as the ordinary lead PEN
ell. With the apple and pear a second
seasons growth will be necessary to
develop this size, while with the peach
single season will suffice; hence
peach stocks can be budded the same
season the pits are planted. Conse-
quently the peach is left until as late
in the season as is practicable in Or
der to obtain stocks Of suitable size.
The height at which buds are in
serted varies with the operator. In
general, the nearer the ground the bet
ter. The cut for the reception of the
bud is made in the shape Of letter r.
Usually the crosscut is not quite at
right angles with the body of the tree,
and the stem to the T starts at the
crosscut and extends toward the root
for an inch or more. The flaps Of bark
caused by the intersection of the two
cuts are slightly loosened with the
ivory heel Of the budding knife, and
the bud, grasped by the leaf stem as
a handle, is placed under the flaps and
firmly pushed in place until its cut
surface is entirely in contact with the
peeled body of the stock. A ligature
is, then tightly drawn about, above
and below the bud, to hold it In place
until union shall be formed. Bands
Of raffia about 8 or 10 inches long
make a most convenient tying mate
