" From what has been said about budding^and grafting you will also 

 have learned how a new variety, once obtained, may be multiplied and 

 scattered all over the country. If you would like to try what you can do at 

 such work, you may beg"in next spring" by planting" a row of apple seeds 

 in the g"arden ; and when the little trees are big" enough, I'll show you how 

 to bud them, or how they may be made to bear fruit in two or three years 

 by grrafting" them into a bearing" tree. How many of you would like to 

 try it ?" " I, I, I," they all shouted ; so we beg"an operations at once by 

 eating all the apples in the dish, to get the seeds for next spring's 

 planting. 



Fiff. 74. Mr. Molntosh of Dmick'la and the original Mcintosh tree.
