Culture of the citrus in California cultureofcitrusi00lelo Year: 1902 ( THE ORANGE IN CALIFORNIA—BUDDING. 95 soft twine or rope either to the remaining portion of the stock or to laths driven alongside. By this practice the trees will grow straight and symmetrical. Growing Budded Trees in the Nursery Without Staking.— The buds are allowed to grow until they show signs of drooping. They are then pinched at the top. The growth is arrested; the stock becomes firm and erect. The bud starts several new growths. One of these growths, generally the center, is allowed to make an upward growth and the rival growths removed. As this growth advances and, like the first, begins to droop, it is again pinched, when it again assumes an upright position and starts its multiple growths. From these, as before, is selected a growth to further advance the height of the tree. When the tree has arrived at its proper height for the crown, allow all the growths from the last pinching to remain and the tree to form its desired head. Trees grown in this manner are stronger than those that have had the support of stakes. WORKING-OVER LARGE ORANGE TREES. Large orange trees are somewhat diffi- cult to bud, owing to the extreme thick- ness of the bark and the inactivity of flow of sap at the space where the buds are generally inserted. Neither does the bark 'slip' as easily as on younger stocks. Three meth- ods of working-over large trees are prac- ticed in the southern citrus counties. One is to bud into the large limbs near the crotch; the second is Orange tree budded over, showing the buds start- ing, and trunk whitewashed for protection.
