It is an important point inthe growing of these grafted Prunuses to remove allsprouts from the stock as soon as they appear. This isparticularly true of the dwarf almonds, since the stocksare usually stronger-growing species and tend to suckerfrom the root. It is a question whether it would not bebetter to propagate these dwarf species from layers orcuttings in case seedlings of their own species cannotbe had. Own-rooted plants can be secured by root-grafting with a long cion (see Fig. 943, Vol. I). In North America there has been a most remarkablecontemporaneous evolution of fruit-bearing plums fromthe native species. Several hundred orchard varietieshave been described, and the trees are grown commer-cially over a wide range of country in the South, in theMississippi valley and on the Plains, —in regions inwhich the common Prunus domestica does not knowledge of these domesticated nativeplums dates from 1892 (Bull. 62, Cornell Exp.
