If the. ring is too large, a slice may be cut off; and if too small, a piece of the bark of the stock may be left to fill the ; Both stock and parent tree must be in about the same condition or stage of growth when this ring bndding is done, in order that the bark containing the bud may peel off freely from the wood, and this is always in the spring, soon after the buds begin to unfold and the sap is in motion. Loudon says that in Dau- phine, France, young plants in tiie nurseries are budded chiefly by this mode, which succeeds best the closer the operation is performed to the col- lar of the plant; and the same is true in grafting, the nearer the root the better, as has been found by ex- perience with hickories. Charles Baltet, in his "L'Art de Greffer," recommends grafting in the usual mode of crown grafting, also flute or ring grafting, in April or May, and ordinary cleft grafting close to the root and at the forks of the branches, etc. He says that the cion should be cut, as much as possible, obliquely across the pith, so that it may be exposed on one side only. He also advises using cions whose base consists of wood of two years' growth, and these fur- nished with a terminal bud. He cautions propagators against grafting earlygrowing kinds upon those of later vegetation. If walnuts of any of the native or foreign species have been successfully propagated by budding or grafting, at any of the nurseries in our Eastern States, it has not been made known in the nurserymen's FIG. 76.
