Laws Relating to Shipment of Nursery Stock. 345 



kill the wood beneath this barea place. To keep this wood alive we must not 

 only take off the bark when it will slip readily from the trunk or limb, but 

 when the leaves are making an abundance of new food. If we do not succeed, 

 the limb looks dark, dry, and streaked with fungus threads where our wound 

 occurs, and the tree is doomed ; but if within a short time these ruptured 

 cambium cells and newest wood have covered themselves with a "callus," or 

 new growth, the wood will put on a greenish shade in the exposed wood, and 

 is going to live. 



In this hasty article I have not had time to treat of, nor would you have 

 the patience to listen to, many other interesting subjects of plant physiology, 

 such as methods of grafting and budding, cuttings, the effects of stock upon 

 scion as in dwarfing, or the rarer effect of scion upon stock, watering and 

 shading with hot house plants, and times and methods of pruning, since all of 

 these subjects are left to the specialist as foreign to a general meeting of 

 horticulturists, or are treated of by other speakers in other parts of this program.
