The pomace is separated from the seeds in tubs of water as the best seeds will sink and the pomace will mostly float when the water is stirred. Other Types of Budding.—Besides the shield-budding already described there are several other methods in use for special purposes. Prong-budding is a modification of the common shield-budding as it uses a short prong or spur instead of the simple bud. This is Fig. 34. Fig. Fig. 34.—Buds of sweet cherries set in stems of Mahaleb cherry seedlings in July and August. These buds remained dormant until the next spring, when the seedlings were cut to the new bud near the ground. See the growth from these buds in figure 35. (U. S. D. A.) Fig. 35.—One season's growth of sweet cherries budded in July and August on Mahaleb cherry stocks. See figure 34. (U. S. D. A.) commonly used in the propagation of nut trees on the Pacific coast. The English walnut is thus budded during the dormant season. The shield shaped bud is tied in place and also waxed. The opera- tion is somewhat like grafting and is often named twig-budding. Plate-budding differs from shield-budding in having a rectang- ular cut made in the bark or the stock. This piece of bark is turned down and a patch of bark of the same size and shape is cut from the scion. This bears a bud and is fitted into place on the stock. The flap of bark is brought back somewhat into place and tied. The.
