Thus in a short time its existence is only to be inferred by a crook in the branch; and eventually even this crook may be outgrown. Hence in trimming back, care should be taken to cut near to a strong bud or branch, and yet not near enough to have the bud itself dry out or be injured. \\'hat should be the distance of the bud from the wound depends on a vari- ety of conditions, which influence the rapidity and intensity of the dr\ing out of the stub. If cut in the spring, shortly before or after the activitv of the buds has begun, the cut.
