Particular Methods. Budding. Budding is the operation of 

 inserting a single bud, bearing little or no wood, upon the surface 

 of the stock. The bud is nearly always inserted under the bark 

 of the stock, but in flute-budding a piece of bark is entirely re- 

 moved and the bud is used to cover the wound. There is no 

 general rule to determine what species of plants should be bud- 

 ded and which ones cion grafted. In fact, the same species is 

 often multiplied by both operations. Plants with thin bark and 

 an abundance of sap are likely to do best when grafted ; or if 

 they are budded, the buds should be inserted at a season when 

 the sap is least abundant to prevent the "strangulation" or 

 "throwing out" of the bud. In such species the bark is not 

 strong enough to hold the bud firmly until it unites ; and solid 

 union does not take place until the flow of sap lessens. Budding
