I]est results in the northern hemi- sphere are claimed to follow setting the buds on the north side of the stocks so the sun will not shine directl}- on them. Doubtless in the southern hemisphere, the southern side will give best results. 343. Budding wood for summer work al- ways consists of well- hardened wood of the jiresent season's devel- opment and of the va- riety it is desired to propagate. The twigs, which should be ab(iut one-fourth inch in diam- eter at their bases, are severed from the par- ent trees and the leaf blades cut off. The leaf stems may be shortened to about one-half inch so as to serve as handles when the buds are being placed in the stocks. After trimming, the twigs are called "bud ; They maj^ bear half a dozen to two dozen buds developed enough for use, but.
