The upper part of the bud is now cut across, so as to fit it exactly into the angle at which the bark of the stock was cut; it is now bound up with worsted or cotton thread, previously prepared. Tying commences at the bottom, passing upward until the whole is covered except the eye of the bud; some- times a little damp moss or a leaf being tied over it for the sake of the moisture it gives out. 1855. Grafting is performed by cutting the top of the stock to a proper height by a clean horizontal cut, and then make a longitudinal V -shaped cut down the centre, one, two, or three inches long, according to the size of the stock. In this slit place the graft, after having cut the lower end of it to fit the cut in the stock. Having inserted it, bind the whole up with clay or grafting-paste, as directed in budding. 1856. It has been asked whether roses grafted are equal to budded ones. Mr. Paul says, when the junction is perfect they are quite as good ; but the scion and stock do not always coalesce, owing to which, more imperfect plants are raised in this way than by budding. The best time for grafting roses in pots is Januai-y ; and July, in ordinary seasons, is the best month for budding; but that depends upon the season. Some operators prefer a moist gloomy day for the operation; Mr. Saul, of the Durdham Downs nursery, Bristol, prefers a fine bright day. 1857. From three to five weeks after the operation, according to the di'jmess of the season, it is necessaiy to examine the bud and loosen the ligature which binds it to the tree, otherwise the growth may be checked.
