The bark and shield are held in place by wrap-ping with waxed cotton or raffia. Propagation of Peaches.—Improved varieties of peaches arepropagated chiefly by budding. The actual budding is clone eitherin June or September. In the extreme southern states, June bud-ding is quite commonly practiced. The buds used for the Junebuddings of peaches are saved from the dormant season in cold. W ( Fia. 33.—Three steps in shield budding.

They are inserted on young growing seed-lings started from seed early that spring. For September budding of peaches the buds used are from thecurrent years growth on good varieties. They are inserted on seed-lings started from seed in the spring of that year. In this case, theydo not start growth in the same fall that the budding is done. Theybecame calloused in place and remain dormant until the followingspring.
