60 TREES IN WINTER 



budded at positions somewhere near their junction with the li^ain 

 stem. 



In about two or three weeks the bud will have "stuck" or united 

 to the stock. The bandage then should be cut to allow for the 

 growth of the stem. The summer-set bud should remain perfectly 

 dormant until the following spring when the stock should be cut 

 off just above the bud. This will throw the entire force of the 

 plant into the shoot that will spring from the bud. Sometimes 

 a growth of three or four feet will be made the first season and 

 the following spring the tree may be set out in its permanent 

 location.
