. The cultivated evergreens; a handbook of the coniferous and most important broad-leaved evergreens planted for ornament in the United States and Canada. Evergreens; Conifers. THE CULTIVATED EVERGREENS making the bark of graft and stock cor- respond and then tying firmly. The graft should be cut near the tip of the tree when there is no frost. In four to six weeks the grafts begin to grow out. If the bandage is cutting the bark, the strings may be loosened at the bottom near the root, but the bandage must not be taken off entirely. When the graft is grow- ing well, the stock should be cut back about six inches above the graft, leaving enough side shoots to keep the stock growing. Before grafting, the stock should be watered thoroughly. In about two or three days, if the grafts are set well and tied firmly, no water will soak into the cuts, and after this they may be given water when it is needed. For about eight weeks the house should be kept closed, after which time a little air will not harm the grafts. At the end of May the grafts may be planted out. The side shoots on pinus, picea, and abies should be left on the stock. This is needed to root the plants and may be re- moved the following spring. Juniperus and thuja can be cut off near the graft in July. They will grow all summer. The plants should remain about three years and after- wards be transplanted every two years. 7.
