If for grafting allow the top to grow, and 

 in four weeks after being potted this plant 

 will be in a suitable condition to graft. 



The young wood of the imported kinds, 

 which is suitable to graft on this stock, will 

 at this time be found very scarce, as the young 

 growth has been made and buds are forming 

 for the next season's flowering. Therefore

 be one year old, and then graft upon it. 

 Keep the stocks in the smallest size pots 



until after the ^ are g rafted -
