THE GENESEE FARMER. 



Apple Stocks — Scions — Ghaftino — Budding. — (R. 

 McIvKR, Cornwall, C. W.) Scions for grafting may be cut 

 any time in November or December, before the weather 

 gets severe, and placed in a cellar until wanted for use. 



Apple stocks intended to be grafted, are usually pulled in 

 tlio fall and laid away in sand, in the root-house or cellar, 

 until they are grafted, which may be done any time during 

 the winter, and the grafts afterwards packed in sand until 

 they are planted. The method of grafting the roots is 

 that known as " whip grafting." 



Strong, one-year old stocks, may be planted in nursery 

 rows, and budded the first year. 



Winter Barley.— (G. P., Crowland, C. W.) Winter 

 b.irley can be obtained at the seed stores in this city, and 

 has been worth about one dollar per bushel through the 

 fall. Its yield does not differ much from spring barley, 

 and is variable. Some very large crops have been raised, 

 and many farmers esteem it highly. 



Book for Emigrants.— (A Subscriber, Hamilton, C. W.) 

 Wa know of no book that we can recommend you. There 

 ore many book written especially for the use of emigrants, 

 but none of them we have seen are of much value. There 

 is much need of such a work. 



Seed of Red Cedar. — Can you inform me where I can 

 obtain the seed of the red cedar? I want to raise some 

 for hedging purposes. — J. W. P., Gorham, N. Y. 



Thos. Meehan, of Germantown, Pa., J. M. Thorbuun 

 & Co., of New York, and other principal seedsmen of the 

 eastern cities, usually keep a supply of red cedar and 

 other evergreen seeds.
