Dwarfing may be expected w tin- stock is of a smaller stature than the cion. The most familiar example is the dwarf pear, made by working the pear on quince stock. Supplying a plant with a slow-growing root is only the beginning of the making of a dwarf. The plant must be kept dwarf by subsequent pruning and other care. It is significant that there is compara- tively little demand for large-growing forms of woody plants, whereas there is a great demand for dwarf forms. Extended experiments on plants \.li;.li m. m.; ^ 'm monly grafted have thrown I ' possible mutual influences of ei"ii â i I i ! â ' searches of Daniel (whose latest i-oirii .,.,..,, . ,,, ; i ( - nearly all of vol. 8 of Ann. Sci. Miu. .-sir. ^, IJoiau;,. 1898) show that the stock may have a specific influence on the cion, and that the resulting characters may be hereditary in seedlings. These experiments, as also those of Vochting, have thrown much light on the physi- ology of grafting and the variation induced by it, but they will not modify the practices of horticulturists nor greatly change our ideas respecting the results to be obtained from accustomed operations. Experience has. 934. The bud long since determined what general and practical re- sults are to be expected from grafting. The limits within which grafting can succeed are to be determined only by experimen
