This is budding; that is tosay, the process of transplanting a single budfrom one tree to another. This is really only aspecial case of grafting; it differs from othermethods only in that in ordinary grafting thecion usually has several buds instead of a singleone. As a practical procedure, therefore, buddinghas the advantage of supplying several graftsfrom what by the other method would be only [186]. Bud With Stock Cut Away The process of bud-grafting illustrated iji the pre-ceding pictures is completed by the cutting away of the stock,so that the branch grown from the ungrafted bud will assume uprightgrowth and make a new top on the tree. Of course buds maybe grafted on branches of an old tree as well as onthe trunk of a sapling, the process beingexactly the same in each case. LUTHER BURBANK a single cion. Therefore budding is generallyused for the production of nursery stock ona large scale, or for the introduction of rarevarieties, grafting material for which is costly ordifficult to secure. The method of budding is closely similar tothe method of bark grafting, already described,except as to season—which, for budding, is June,July, and August, while the trees are in fu
