Process of Budding illustrated.

been removed. A very sharp. thin
bladed knife is necessary In remov-
ing the bud Knives are specially
made for this purpose. The bud is
cut. off the shoot downwards or up
wards, whichever is more convenient: I:
the general practice Is to cut upwards.
The length of the piece removed
with the bud should be about one
inch long, and the cut surface smooth.
1t should be quite thin, as but little
of the wood is taken with the bud.
The buds or twigs will not dry out
while the work of budding is going
on. The bud Is inserted under the
bark by raising the latter with the
blade of the knife or the part Of the
budding knife made for that purpose.
The bud Is then pushed down and
under the bark with the fingers. and
was left when it was removed from
the twig Is pressed with the blade
Of the knife to bring the bud into
the proper position. The bark on each
side of the bud, which should now
be under the bark of the stock. will
hold it in position.
In order to bring the bud and stock
into close contact and prevent the
former from drying up before the
union takes place. they should be
ded tightly together with rafiia or
some soft string taking care to cover
the bud with it. The bud should unite
with the stock in two or three weeks.
and after that time the string should
be cut, as otherwise the bud may be
injured. If the proper season has been
chosen for the work the bud should
remain dormant until the spring. If
il starts in the autumn 1t may be
killed during the winter. In the fol-
lowing spring the stock should be cut
off Just above the bud which will
cause all the strength of the stock to
be directed into the bud and produce
rapid growth. three to five feet not
being an exceptional growth for the
first season.
Budding Is now a very popular
method of propagating plums. The
first seasons growth is greater than
from root grated trees and there Is
larger proportion Of straight trunked
trees by this method. If 1t Is de-
sired also to prevent trees from grow
ing on their own roots. budding Is
preferable, as trees propagated in this
way may be planted so that the stock
is lust at the surface of the soil and
all roots are thrown from 1t.
Buds may also be inserted in the
branches of trees with good results
When the buds have united and grown
the top may be shaped up as If top
grated. but this is seldom done with
plums.

Hints
Budding Is Now Favored

The favorite method of propagating

best season for doing the work is in

one or two years old are the most
satisfactory.
Budding is best performed when
there Is still sufficient sap beneath

The stock which Is to receive the

OF an inch in diameter near the ground.
Inc lower leaves are rubbed Off to a
height of five or six inches to enable
the budder to work more freely. A
perpendicular cut is now made in the
stock as near the ground as possible
from an inch and a half long and
preferably on the north side of the
tree. as the bud will not be SO readily
dried out by the sun on that side. The
cut should only extend through the
bark. Another cut should now be
made across the top of the perpendicu-
