All top-grafted (Crimes trees are also in the the various stocks, trees developed on Paragon are distinctlyin the lead, with those on Tolman second. With Grimes andTompkins King, the only varieties of these three that really needtop-grafting, the superiority of these two stocks is very marked sofar as growth is concerned. In smoothness of unions, Tolmanand Champion are probably best, with Paragon next, if the top-grafts with Jonathan be excepted, as with that variety the Paragonstock has tended to cutgrow the cions. Incidentally, the reverse isthe case with Grimes on Wolf 15s—NEGRO WOMEN ARE I ARGEIY EMPLOYED IN SOUTHERNNURSERIES Northern .Spy stock has averaged third in growth and is nfnvrunning about equal to Paragon in unions. It also usually makesan excellent trunk and root system, but in at least one respect it isconsiderably less desirable than either Tolman, or Paragon forstock purposes; namely, in its unusual tardiness in starting growthin spring. This tends to make the cions more active than thestocks of most varieties, naturally the reverse of the conditiondesired when grafts are being started. Vrnm present results,therefore, either Paragon or Tolman appears to be distinctly pref-erable to any of the others, for Griiues at least—Champion third,if Jonathan grafts are omitted.
