Kenneth Finlayson inquired as to Japanese methods of grafting 

 and if they used different methods from those commonly in use here. 



The Lecturer answered that he was somewhat disappointed in 

 the Japanese methods. They do not understand the art any better 

 than we do. In grafting dwarf trees they are very clever and 

 interesting as for example in the small species of Thuya which they 

 make a work of art but they have developed nothing practical for 

 our fruit growers.
