GRAFTIN(t is effected by cutting the end of botli the scion and .stock obliquely, then splitting the ends so cut, and inserting the tongue of the one into the slit of the other. This causes the heart of both the top stock (or scion) and the root to be cut entirely in two, and the death of a tree is already begun when the heart is cut entirely through. Besides, it will be readily seen that water can enter into the very center of the tree through the cut made in grafting; this water soaks into the wood of the tree, slow- ly rotting it, and when the tree freezes in excessively cold weather, the water expands in turning to ice and the tree. We have almost discarded piece-root grafting, and bud and crown- graft almost all our apples, using only whole seedlings for the same, and feel sure our trees are worth, in the en^l, to the ])ianter, double the price of trees grown from pieces of roots. BUDDING is performed in summer by inserting a well-ripened bud of the variety to be propagated into an opening made in the bark of a young tree used as a stock. The wood of the j'oung tree is not injured, as in grafting, and there is no aperture for water to reach the center of the tree and l ot it. The Inids are taken from bearing trees of the varieties to be propagated. AVith apples and craljs, the bud is inserted at the collar of the young tree, and the seedlings we use as stocks are of the same variety as the bud, thus insui-ing the root and top to be of uniform growth and of the same degree of hardiness. We use some French crab seedlings. In grafting, one seedling is cut in pieces a
