Our mistletoes, at Bayswater, are now (Aug. 1840) from 4 in. to 8 in. in length, with 4 or 5 pairs of leaves, after having been four ij) years sown. Mr. Moss, a nurseryman at Malvern, has succeeded in grafting the mistletoe standard high on young apple and pear trees, and also on poplars and willows. The grafts should be made in the first or second week in May ; and they should never be lower than 5 ft. from the ground, or higher than 10 ft. Where the stock is not more than i in. in diameter, an incision is made in the bark, into which a scion of mistletoe, pared thin, is inserted, having a bud and a leaf at the upper end. In grafting longer pieces, a notch should be cut out of the stock ; an incision made below the notch ; and a shoulder left on the scion to rest on the notch, in the manner of crown grafting. In every case, there must be a joint on the lower extremity of the scion. The mistletoe may also be propagated by budding, taking care to have a heel of wood and a joint at the lower extremity of the bud. (See Gard. Mag., vol. xiii. pp. 206. and 283.). 926. r. 61bum.
