. Bulletin. 1901-13. Agriculture; Agriculture. 28 THE PECAN. the stock is merely a patch. It is to this deviation from the annular method of buddino: that the term " patch budding " has been applied. A tool specially designed for patch budding is illustrated in figure 16. It consists of four thin steel blades fastened together in the form of a rec- tangle, five-eighths of an inch wide by 1 inch long, and is used as a punch. A very fair de- gree of success in patch budding by using an ordinary single-bladed bud- ding knife is re- ported from Texas. A cut is made in the bark of the bud stick about half an inch in width by three times as Ipng, in the center of which is the bud. The piece of bark so outlined is re- moved from the bud stick and laid over that of the stock. Using this as a pattern, inci- sions are then made around it in the bark of the stock. The pattern is then removed, the section of bark outlined in the stock is lifted, and the bark from the bud stick is put in its place. Some varieties of the pecan are more difficult to bud successfulh^ than others; with such varieties the annular method, or a near approach to it, is generally most successful. 251. E^JScL^^.
