He rec- ommends that the operation be performed as late as possible to get a good flow of sap when the weather is cooler (an im- portant factor) ; growth for the season is about completed, and the wrapping used may re- main on all winter. Prong bud- ding (fig. IT) was highly rec- ommended by the late B. M. Lelong, of California, and is strongly indorsed bj^ a few skillful workers on the Pacific coast. In all these instances the prime requisite appears to be the dormancy of the bud followed by close wrapping and sealing to protect the wound from the air. Eecently E. J. Kraus,^ of the Oregon Experiment Sta- tion, as a result of extensive experiments in budding the walnut, states in substance that the method of budding- consists in the combination of the old principles adapted to new subjects and conditions. By this method with good buds, 1-year-old seedlings, and the exer- cise of ordinary care. TO to 90 per cent of the buds should take and form satisfactory I' ID- .\l(rdiiicd wedge grafting: a.
