. Introduction to botany. Botany. ABC Fig. 74. Propagation by budding A, a bud cut from a tree of the desired variety, witli a piece of the underlying bark; B, the bud inserted in a T-shaped slit in the bark of the stock; C, the same with the bark bound in place by strips of raffia (a fibrous materia] obtained from the leaves of the raffia palm). Modified after Percival the stem into ^^liich it is set. In the case of peaches, the young seedling trees grown from seeds planted the same spring are budded in June or September. Those budded late do not grow much until the next season, bvit then make rapid progress. As the top of the seedling is cut off not far above the bud, all further growth of the shoot partakes of the quality of the bud, and the fruit borne by the tree, when it is large enough to bear, will be of the kind that is characteristic of the tree from which the bud was taken. G-rafting is removing a piece of stem, with its buds, from one plant and inserting it into a portion of stem of another.
