This bud was inserted in August, 1895; the picture was made in March, 1896; the bud should have started to grow in May, 1896. The spring following the budding, the stock should be cut off Just above the bud, in order to throw the entire force of \he plant into the bud. The stock is gener- ally, and preferably, cut off twice. The first cutting leaves the stub 4 or 5 inches long above the bud. This cutting is made as soon as the stocks begin to show any signs of activity. Two weeks later, or when the bud has begun to grow (the shoot having reached the length of an inch or two), the stock is again cut off a half- ^ ,^ inch above the ^-â lli_S^ b"d (Fig. A greater 94)- pro-. pj. Dortitant bud of plum (xt). portion of buds will usually grow if this double heading- in is done, in outdoor condi- tions, than if the stock is cut back to the bud at the first operation. If the root is strong and the soil-good, the bud will grow 2 to 6 feet the first year, depending much upon the species. All sprouts should be kept rubbed off the stock, and the bud should be trained to a single stem. In some weak and crooked growers, the new shoot must be tied, and some propagators 94. Cutting off the in such cases cut off the stock 5 or 6 stock (x}ffi. inches above the bud and let it serve as a stake to which to tie ; but this operation is too expensive to be employed on common fruit trees. The stock, of course, must not be allowed to grow. Late in the season.
