  or 
  root 
  pruned 
  stocks 
  would 
  probably 
  give 
  the 
  best 
  results, 
  as 
  the 
  

   sap 
  would 
  probably 
  come 
  up 
  more 
  gradually 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  and, 
  

   while 
  the 
  flow 
  would 
  probably 
  be 
  sufficient 
  for 
  the 
  best 
  results, 
  it 
  

   would 
  not 
  flow 
  freely 
  enough 
  to 
  injure 
  the 
  scion 
  or 
  stock. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  not 
  experienced 
  any 
  serious 
  difficulty 
  from 
  an 
  extreme 
  

   'flow 
  of 
  sap 
  in 
  pecan 
  stocks, 
  either 
  in 
  the 
  North 
  or 
  South, 
  but 
  we 
  

   have 
  had 
  grafts 
  set 
  on 
  the 
  pignut 
  hickory 
  fail 
  from 
  this 
  cause. 
  

   The 
  English 
  walnut 
  may 
  be 
  budded 
  with 
  fair 
  to 
  good 
  results, 
  by 
  

   the 
  patch 
  method, 
  by 
  selecting 
  good 
  buds 
  on 
  the 
  best 
  matured, 
  

   round 
  growth, 
  but 
  to 
  propagate 
  the 
  tree 
  economically 
  and 
  satisfac- 
  

   torily 
  it 
  is 
  desirable 
  to 
  both 
  bud 
  and 
  graft, 
  otherwise 
  both 
  stocks 
  

   and 
  scion 
  wood 
  are 
  wasted.
