 concerned with J. regia, and tills culture is practically

 The young seedlings are irrigated and cultivated fre- 

 quently during midsummer, the object being to force 

 them as much as possible and yet harden them before 

 winter. During the first year the seedlings reach a

The grafts will grow about 8 feet in one year. Grafting 

 is much more successful than budding. When trees are 

 budded, ring-buds are used, and the tie is a strip of 

 waxed cloth. 



The trees are planted in orchard form at either 1 or 2 

 years of age, preferably the latter. They are usually 

 set in squares 50 ft. apart. The trees make very little
