Particular methods by which various fruits are multiplied 



Barberry Cuttings of mature wood ; seeds. 



Orange Seeds ; seedlings budded or grafted. 



Figs Cuttings, either of soft or mature wood. 



Mulberry Cuttings of mature wood. Some varieties are 



root-grafted, and some are budded. 

 Olive Cuttings of mature or even old wood. Chips 



from the trunks of old trees are sometimes used. 



Pomegranate Cuttings, layers, and seeds. 



Apple and Pear .... Seeds ; seedlings budded or grafted. 



Peach and other stone-fruits Seeds ; seedlings budded. Peach-trees are sold at 



one year from the l>ud, but other stone-fruit 



trees are planted when two or three years old. 



Quince Cuttings, usually ; the cuttings often grafted. 



Grape Cuttings of from one to three buds ; layers. 



Currant and Gooseberry . . Cuttings ; gooseberry oftener by mound-layers. 

 Raspberries, red .... Suckers from the root ; root-cuttings. 

 Raspberries, black and purple Layers from tips of canes ; root-cuttings. 



Blackberry Root-cuttings ; suckers from the root.
