The application of an antiseptic, like Bor- deaux mixture, before the wax cover is put on, may also be useful to destroy fungus spores. Ra])id growing deciduous species, if girdled or peeled in the earlier part of the season when the cambium is fully active, will resjjond with special readiness to such treatment, and will close a peel wound in the first year. If the tree has been comi)letely girdled, or if it cnul 1 not be i)rotecled at once as described above, it can still be saved by an expert or skilful grafter through the process of "bridging," described as follows.
