GRAFTING, OR HORTICULTURAL CONVERSION. 305 



tree you probably have a little fruit in the third 

 year. 



But on one hand do not try to convert too 

 fast by cutting back everything save the grafts ; 

 and on the other, convert as fast as you can 

 safely, by gradually putting the whole strength 

 of the tree into the grafts ; for if but one branch 

 of the old stock is left to have its own way for 

 all time, it will crowd out and kill the approved 

 varieties with certainty. 



1 am astonished that there is not a chair ou 

 grafting in our theological seminaries.
