The pre paratory treatment and attention pro. vious to the budding season is of prime importance, and best results are obtained only by strictly observing all phases of the work. Although greater success is secured on trees ton inches and under In diameter, larger treva may be successfully worked; but as an extenskyo commercial proposition it is scarcely advisable. Pieparatory treatment of the seed ling trees must be .begun during the dormant season, preferably In Febrp. ary. The general rule is to cut back all limbs to stubs from 8" to 12" in length. 'Limbs over 3" in diameter should be cut back two to three feet from their -bases, or to where the'di ameter is not over 3". In cutting back trees of 4" and over In diameter al ways leave some of the smaller branches and several of the larger ones to furnish leaf surface until the tree can force out new 'shoots. In some cases, the height of the tree has also to be considered. Top. ping should be done at a place where several branches are well placed t0 form a basis for a good head. This height will vary with the diameter and the number of branches. The top should be removed with a sloping cut just above one of the stubs or a small branch. This promotes healing and prevents rotting. Apply a coating of white lead and linseed oil to all cut surfaces. The trees are now in shape for forcing ou shoots upon which the buds are to be placed, and will de mand no further special attention un til summer. About the middle of June thin out some of the numerous sho ts, leaving two or three well placed vigorous ones on each stub. This will increase the development of the remaining shoots, so that they will have attained suffi cient size for budding by August. Budding.-In this article ring bud ding only will 'be considered, as it is I the most successful mc4iod. Before ring budding- season, late July thru August, a specially constructed knife must. be obtained and waxed cloth pre pared. The budding knife is made by securing two ordinary budding knives to the sides of a small block of soft wood so that the cutting blades will be parallel and one inch apart. For budding cloth use ordinary bleaching. Tear into strips 12" wide and roll tightly oi small round stcks. Tie and submerge in a hot melted so lution of grafting wax for a half hour. The formula for grafting wax is: rosin 3% lbs., boswax 2 lbs., tallow 1 lb. Put these into a pot, melt, and mix thorough'ly before placing the cloth therein. Bud wood should be selected from well developed shoots of the present season's growth, from healthy pro ductive trees of known variety. By wrapping bud 'wood in moist burlap and placing in a cool shady place it can be kept for a week or ten days, but it is best to have it delivered in snmaller quantities every other day. Varieties suggested are Stuart, Scley, 'Moneymaker, and Curtis. Performing the Operation.--The op. eration of budding is simple, yet re quires practice and carefulness. The buds are usually set about 6 to 12 inches from the base of the limb and on top of it. Always select a smooth round place. With the knife ring the limb being careful to make the cuts straight so that they wil' coincide when tahey miect. 'elect a good bud from the 'budstick and do likewise. Now remove the bark fronm the limb by sli-ttingt it down the back and prizing it up with the point of the knife. Rlemove the bud right likewise and insert it in the cut nmade on the limb. Tear a strip of waxed cloth about % Inch wide and 18 inches long, andl starting below the bud, wraip it firmly in place. Leave only the tip of the bud out. If the bud ring of bark is of greater circumference than the .limb, a small piece may be taken out so as to make it fit closely to1 then linmb. On the other hand, if the bud ring will not mieet around the limb, a small strip of bark may ho left on the limb, It does not matter if a small open place is left between the edges of the ring. In fact, some buddl~ers make this a practice, for this gives room for* tihe swelling of the btul ring I lowever, it is essenitial tham.t lhe en.IA of the bud1( ring conic ini clo.'e contact with the bark of thle tree. Af: er 21 (lays the wraps are removed from thle lmdha, and at this time, under favor ale cond(it ions, you can tellI whis her the bud has set or not. After Treatment. - When growth Starts the following spring, all tops should be remiovedi from branches on which the buds are living. These tops are cut off about 10 inches above the bud, and the 'bark skinned off from 1" above the bud and upwards. The shoot from the bud is tied to thi 10" piece of limb to prevent its beta~ broken off by the wind. All sprouts coming out on the branch must be removedh and only the inserted bud should 'be allowed to grow. Some time during the following wInter, t-he ton. inch stubs to .which the bud shoote have been tied must be cut back close to the shoots.
