 Fig. 48.) 



119. In flute-, patch-, or veneer-budding a rectangular 

 piece of bark is removed from the stock and replaced imme- 

 diately with a piece of bark of similar size and shape bearing 

 a bud of the variety to be propagated (Fig. 49). 

 There are special devices to facilitate the cutting 

 of the bark to uniform size, but 

 an ordinary knife can be used. 



120. Ring- or annular-budding 

 is similar to flute-budding, except' 

 that a ring of bark is removed 

 all the way around the tree and

121. In H-budding the bark of the stock is oTplece oSkrf 

 cut as shown in Fig. 50. The flaps of the bark p a tVk . s l &?t h" 

 are raised, and a piece of bark from the cion pat 

 of proper size, and bearing a bud, is placed so that its 

 cambium comes in contact with the cambium 

 of the stock, and the flaps are bound 

 over it. In H-budding arid in other 

 special methods, in addition to 

 tying the bark in place, it is fre- 

 quently of advantage to wax over 

 the cut surfaces. 



122. Chip-budding is much used 

 H- on dormant stocks when the bark 

 will not slip. In this form, a mortise 

 is made in the stock and a chip containing a bud cut from 

 the cion wood is forced into it. (See Fig. 51.) The chip 

 is tied in, and when above ground is usually waxed. In 

 chip-budding on grape roots, where this method is much 

 used, the chip need not be tied or waxed as the part is 

 covered with soil.
