The Redding is the best stock known on which to work the domestic varieties of olives. 

 It is a rapid grower and makes a very fine root s}^slem. Trees grafted on the Redding will 

 thrive over a bigger range of soil than if grafted on any other variety. 



It is advisable on planting, to remove the pointed end of the seed, taking care not to 

 injure the kernel. This will tend to give a far better and speedier germination than if the 

 seeds are planted whole.
