. The nut culturist : a treatise on the propagation, planting and cultivation of nut-bearing trees and shrubs, adapted to the climate of the United States ... Nuts. 38 THE NUT CULTUEIST. pass completely under the bark of the stock, it must be cut across, so as to allow that which remains with the bud to fall into place and rest firmly on the wood of the stock, as shown in Fig. 6. When the bud is in position and fitted to the stock, as shown, wind the raffia, or other material used, around the stock, both above and below, covering the entire incision, leaving only the bud and part of leafstalk un- covered. Of course exp°erienced propagators have their own individual systems and modes of operation, but the above may be taken as a safe guide for the amateur budder. The ligatures should be loosened or removed as soon as the bud h^s become firmly united with the stock, which will usually be in ten or fifteen days, if at all. When the buds have failed, others may be inserted, provided, of course, the stocks are in condition to admit of the operation. Exceptions, howeyei", may be made where the budding has been done so late in the season that the stock has ceased to grow by the time the buds have taken, and in such cases the ligatures may be left BUD IN on later and removed any time before winter. In cold climates the snow, ice and water are likely to get in around the bud if the ligatures are not removed. But where the stocks are vigorous and the buds set early, there will be danger of the ligatures cutting into the bark as the stocks swell or increase in diameter, unless they are loosened or en-, tirely removed. Under ordinary circumstances budded stocks should not be headed back until the following spring, and then should be cut off two or three inches above the inserted, bud; and when this pushes into growth, all suckers and sprouts below and above it shoald be rubbed off as FIG. 6.
