With a sharp knife the raffia iibre is cut on the side opposite to the bud. With the stone fruits it is necessary to retie above the bud. If this is not done the bark below the cross-cut will roll outvi^ard, often causing the death of the bud before spring. In late fall at the North it is safest to bank up the stocks above the bud with the plow for winter protection, finishing the irregulari- ties with a hoe. Quite early in spring the banking is raked down and the top cut off so as to leave a ring of bark above the cross-cut. If cut too low the upper part of the bud is apt to be dried up and often the whole bud. Some propagators cut so as to leave a stub, as shown in Fig. 40, to which the growing shoot is tied to keep it erect. Others cut four inches above the bud at first, and then, after the bud has made some growth, cut so as to leave a ring of bark as above stated. But long experience has shown that it is best to cut by sloping the cut upward from above the cross-cut. On weU-established stocks the growth from the bud is often so strong, especially with the plum, that staking is necessary to give an erect growth. The small stakes if cared for can be used several years in succession. 76. June Budding.—What is known as June budding at the South gives salable trees of the peach and other trees the first season from three to five feet in height. The budding is done about the middle to the last of June on stocks grown from the pits planted in very early Pig. 40. — Stub left for tying the young Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Budd, Joseph L; Hansen, Niels Ebbesen, 1866-1950.
