Or the stub may be left an inch or more at first cutting, and after the bud has started, the stub may be cut back to near the base of the new shoot. The rapidity with which wounds, especially large ones, are covered up by callus for- mation depends on various conditions. Different species behave dilTerently in this re- spect, but finally the general vigor of the plant, its age and its condition of nutrition, , the amount of food ma- terials it can elaborate, de- termine the rate of progress. The size and number of the wounds, their smoothness or roughness, their location on the bole, whether or not a stump has been improperly left and what its length is all these facts have an influence; indeed, conditions are so variable that it is impossible to give defmite rules, save in a given case, as to how severe the pruning may be. If, however, the wounds ha\'e been properly dressed and kept covered against water and fungi, it does not matter how long it may take them to close, although the danger of the deterioration of the antiseptic covering naturally increases with time. Small wounds are covered relatively much more quickly.
