PROPAGATION II These ties must be examined from time to time, and should be removed as soon as the buds "; Within about a month, if not removed, they will begin • to choke the stocks which continue to ex- pand in diameter rapidly at this season. The tie is cut by running a sharp knife longitudinally up the stem of the stock on the side opposite the bud. The buds should grow fast to the stocks within two to four weeks, but should remain dormant through the first winter. They should , start into growth the following spring. As soon as their growth is assured the stocks should be smoothly cut off about an inch above the growing bud. Care is required throughout the first year to protect the nursling bud from the encroachments of the stock. Very often other buds start into growth from the stock and would soon smother the strange bud so carefully grafted in. Of course, all such seedling shoots must be promptly rubbed off. Budded peach trees should always be trans- planted to their permanent positions in garden or orchard after the buds have grown one year. Strong growing varieties of plums and cherries should also be transplanted at one year old. Budded apples on good soil are best transplanted at one year from the bud, though the commoner practice is to grow them in the nursery rows to the age of two years. Like-. FIG. 9—SHIELD BUDDING.
