For others, they had better adopt the slower process 

 of inarching. 



Fig. 30 represents alba plena one year old from graft; 

 both grafts are growing. 



This is what is called a four-year old grafted plant; 

 the stock being three years old before it was grafted. 



Growing alba plena from cuttings at four years old, 

 will be much larger and with flower buds, none of the 

 extra labor required, as for grafting. 



If growing for profit, adopt the plan of growing from 

 cuttings. 



In four years the plants will be salable with buds. 



This grafted plant will re- 

 quire to be two years old from 

 graft, or five years old from 

 cuttings, before it is salable, 

 with buds, and it will not be 

 the size of the four-year-old 

 alba plena from a cutting. 



Fig. 31 represents a plant 

 two years old from the graft, 

 or five years from cutting, 

 with buds on. 



In grafting, many of the 

 eyes will fall out from the 

 graft. 



Give all such plants a lit- 

 tle extra heat the following 

 ^ March, and they will pro- 



Alba plena, two years from grafts, duce new shoots or eyes.
