If a fresh wound, made by any accident, such as the gnawing of a horse, be at once completely covered with melted tree wax^ so as to keep the parts below soft and j moist, and protected by cloth bandages against further disturbances, a new^ rind or bark will develop directly from the living tissues, without the callus forma- tion of the marginal cambium. The application of an antiseptic, like Bor- deaux mixture, before the wax cover is put on, may also be useful to destroy fungus spores. Rapid growing deciduous species, if girdled or peeled in the earlier part of the season when the cambium is fully active, will respond with special "'bridging'r^'wound readiness to such treatment, and will '^^^^ freshly cut T 1 ... - young twigs. .close a peel wound m the first year. If the tree has been completely girdled, or if it could not be protected at once as described above, it can still be saved by an expert or skilful grafter through the process of "bridging," described as follows. The margin of the wound is trimmed smooth, and a number of scions, freshly cut young twigs from two or three.
