Mussel and St Julien plums are frequently used as stocks for plums. A great many different ways of preparing and inserting the buds and scions are practised. In the propagation of fruit trees and roses by budding, the commonest method is that known as shield-buddi7tg, which is usually performed in July or August when the bark of the stock can be readily separated from the wood along the active cambium-ring. The buds selected for insertion must, of course, be wood buds, and are taken from shoots produced in the same year. They must not be too young nor too old, and are therefore cut from the middle portion of the shoot where the wood is about half-ripe. The bud to be used is cut from the young shoot in the manner in- dicated at a 6, Fig. 93 : a shield-shaped piece of the bark is removed with the bud, and also a small portion of the wood of the shoot, which '''" '^' must be carefully pulled from the bark and thrown away. If in withdrawing this small piece of wood the rudimentary vascular cylinder or axis of the.
