(Grafting on Pieces of Roots.) Downing, the best authority on the propagation of Fruit Trees, says in hi» Downing's Fruits and Fruit Trees of America: 'Large quantities of trees are also propagated by using pieces of roots, each three to five inches long, thus form- ing from the root of one stock sufficient root for two or more grafts. This practice although quite common, is of very doubtful value, and by some prominent horti- culturists considered as tending to debilitate and reduce vitality, the seat of vital life in fact resting in the natural crown of the seedling, and that once destroyed cannot be renewed. It is therefore apparent that but one healthy permanent tree can he grown from a seedling stock.'
