diameter as the stem of a seedling. A 

 satisfactory union may thus be induced 

 where other methods of asexual propaga- 

 tion have invariably failed. 



Very young seedlings of hundreds of 

 rare hard-wooded plants may be worked 

 on the same or allied species or genera 

 and their value determined much in ad- 

 vance of the time when they would 

 flower on their own roots or on plants 

 obtained by grafting or budding from 

 the mature shoots of the seedlings. 



Hard-wooded seedlings which need to 

 be flowered in the shortest possible 

 space of time, in order to determine 

 their value, ere used for inarching as 

 soon as the first leaves attain a fairly 

 firm texture; but when seedlings are 

 used as stocks for the vegetative prop- 

 agation of established varieties by 

 uniting the stock to small branches, then 

 larger seedlings are used. 



The methods of propagation followed 

 up to the present time have all been 

 more or less faulty and cumbersome. 

 The budding of seedlings in nursery 

 rows requires the service of a trained 

 propagator who knows what to do and 

 how and when to do it. The average 

 cultivator can hardly hope to acquire 

 the skill necessary for the operation; 

 moreover, there is always danger of 

 loss from transplanting budded seed- 

 lings. Propagation by the older method 

 of inarching on plants growing in 5-inch 

 and 6-inch pots, sometimes for more 

 than a year, is an expensive method, 

 necessitating the erection of strong 

 staging around the parent trees for the 

 accommodation of the plants in pots; 

 moreover, the roots of the seedlings be- 

 come curled in the pots and make it
