In citrus propagation, espe-cially in the dry, arid sections of the Southwest, it is desirable to use stripsof waxed cloth to wrap the buds, covering the buds entirely with thewrapping. The wrapping must remain on until the buds are thoroughlyhealed on, which will require about three weeks. The California methodof forcing the buds is to cut the tops entirely off about an inch or so abovethe bud. In Florida the trees are cut half off above the bud and lopped overinto the row, being allowed to remain until the sprout is a foot or so of the Nursery Stock.—As the buds develop into sprouts, stakesmust be set beside them, and the sprouts tied to the stake at frequent inter-.

A single sprout is usually allowed to growuntil it is about three feet high, and then it is headed back to about 30inches or slightly lower. In forming the crown, three or four main branchesare allowed to grow, and it is important for the strength of the tree thatthese should be on different sides of the young tree and 3 or 4 inches are set at one year or two years from the bud. In California andArizona, owing to the dry conditions, nursery trees designed for shipmentare usually balled. A trench about a foot wide and 14 inches deep is dugalongside of the row of trees, and the tap-root cut and the trees lifted with aball of earth remaining around the roots. The ball and roots
