RING, OR ANNULAR, BUDDING 



This is a modification of flute budding, the difference being 

 that the portion of bark removed extends entirely around the 

 stock, forming a ring; hence the name. 

 The same size stocks should be used as 

 for flute budding. 



Secure stocks of the same size as in flute 

 budding, and with the budding-knife remove 

 a ring of bark, about one inch in length, from 

 the stock. Secure the plant from which you 

 wish to bud, and remove a piece of the bark 

 bearing a healthy bud, the same size as 

 the wound on the stock. The bark bearing 

 the bud should be split lengthwise on the 

 side opposite the bud. The bud should 

 occupy the central portion of the bark. 

 Why ? Make a drawing of the stock, 

 natural size, and four inches in length, 

 showing the portion of 

 bark removed. Label, 

 and give the dimensions 

 of the bud. Make a 

 natural-size drawing of 

 the bud, showing the 

 ring character. Label. 

 Discuss the advantages 

 and the disadvantages 

 on the stock o f this method.

CHIP BUDDING 



This is a form of budding that is used when 

 the stock is dormant and the bark will not 

 slip. The chip bearing the bud is held in 

 place by tying or, still better, by the use of 

 grafting-wax. 



Secure small stocks the same as those em-
