For con\'enience in doing this work stock stubs are fiften left on orna- mental trees, seldom on fruit trees, because of its expense, to act as stakes against which to tie the bud sprouts (Fig. 205). Except in mixed graft- ing (330), shoots on the stock must not he allow- ed to grow or they will rob the bud shoot of food and develop e\en stronger shoots. Toward the end of the growing season these stubs must be carefully cut close to the union of bud and stock. 349. In "June bud- ding," stocks one-fourth to one-third inch in diam- eter are favored. Instead of stripping the lower part of the stocks completely of leaves, as in north- ern budding, a few leaves are left below the point of bud- ding to serve as feeders. Because of the heat of the soil surface, in hot, dry climates, it is customary to place the buds an inch or two higher than in northern practice. To avoid the sudden and violent check to growth which. FIG. 20«—COLD BOX METHOD OF STORING ClON WOOD The wood is kept cold till needed.
