BUDDING HOLLY TREES. 



When is the proper time to bud holly 

 trees? We have about 400 plants, from 

 ten to eighteen inches high, and would 

 be thankful for advice on how to bud 

 them. B. & J. 



The great demand within the last few 

 years for English hollies of the bearing 

 varieties, as well as the ever growing in- 

 terest in the planting of holly hedges for 

 the berries themselves, makes these 

 branches of the nursery trade of the ut- 

 most importance, particularly in Oregon 

 and Washington, where the holly seems 

 to grow and fruit better even than it does 

 in Europe. 



Regarding the budding of the plants, 

 there are two factors to be considered. 

 The first is that the seedlings must be 

 in good growing condition, and the sec- 

 ond is that the buds be taken from heavy 

 bearing trees. About May 1 is the proper 

 time to bud these trees in Oregon and 

 Washington, and the method used is the 

 same as practiced with either roses or 

 fruit trees. 



A seedling of the height mentioned by 

 B. & J. — ten to eighteen inches — should 

 be about one-third of an inch in diam- 

 eter and the buds should be selected from 

 branches of about the same size. Make 

 the cut in the stock about an inch and 

 a quarter long and use an eye of about 

 the same size, slipping it down until it 

 wedges itself well under the bark. I have 

 always used white cotton twine in tying, 

 instead of raffia or anything else, and I 

 tie the bud in tightly, for the reason that 

 the stock will not increase enough in size 

 to have any damage done by the string 

 cutting before the eye gets well estab- 

 lished in its new location. 



Do not top the plants. Keep them 

 growing throughout the summer, as, if 

 there are any that do not grow, they can 

 again be budded about June 1. About 

 September 1 the tops should be cut par- 

 tially off; that is, leaving a few inches

The unequaled ^rhite decorative Freeala. Send in your orders early if you want the 

 large sizes as I am booking large orders for them now and will have to refuse orders for 

 mammoth although t will have many more bulbs than other years. Our stock is absolutely 

 pure, as great paius li talten to remove any rogues, as they may appear, and all seed pods 

 are removed, avoiding all danger of mixture, as Purity does not come true from seed. 

 Dealers getting their stock from us, will always be (ure to get the purest of stock.
